My first skydive was a GTAM group ride. Was a great day.

Skydive Burnaby?
Yes. It's a bit of a drive, but it's worth it. Thier chief instructor Scott Borghese (12400 jumps) is the best.
I don’t recall his name but my first jump was at Burnaby and this was my instructor who was awesome. That’s a beautiful location so you picked an awesome place.
im jelly, much bigger plane then i got!
Good choice. Skydive Toronto had another fatal incident today. Innisfil and baldwin seem to have a lot of incidents. Maybe that is just related to number of jumps or because they are more likely to be reported close to Toronto. In any case, I'm glad you had a ton of fun. How many jumps did you get in?
i think the devil is in the details.
if you have qualified people packing the chutes then really we're talking about random acts of god or user error? but what the hell do i know.
Baldwin was sketchy when we jumped there. Only time I’ve ever been nervous jumping and it was because I had doubts the rickety plane would make it up. Maybe that’s why they left the side door open all the way up.
Made my first jump in Baldwin in 75.
I want to go again at some point. Maybe when the kids are old enough.
My wife sure as hell won’t do it.
My one and only jump was near 400 and Tangier’s Outlet Mall (?) many years ago. Good time. Don’t remember the name for the life of me.

That's toronto skydiving (obviously not in toronto).
I was planning on doing 2, but then i remembered that I'm 69. Today my shoulders and hips are sore as ****.
I don't know the numbers, but i think Burnaby has the highest numbers. With good weather, i think they can put 15 loads in the air. Most of the loads will have 3 tandems. That's a lot of money.
All drop zones adhere to very strict CSPA/FAI regulations. There isn't one dz safe than the other.
He's quickly heading towards a red bull video. "70 yo starts off his north american adventure ride by riding a trials bike off a cliff and parachuting to his touring bike." He just needs to borrow the Muffin for a bit to include some hot laps in the kickoff. Look out Pol Espargaro.
