Y’know that feeling you get when you’re at a party on a perfect night and the lights are going crazy and everybody is beautiful and they’re playing your jam and the music builds and builds and you know, suddenly, that the beat is about to drop? Y’know how that energy feels?

That’s how it feels when the door opens of an airplane in flight. That’s exactly, precisely it.

If you’re ready to let that beat drop and start riding that wave into airborne ecstasy, we have a few tips for you. After all, you’re going to want to be ready for this!

1. Oh the antici….pation

The rising beat makes us crazy. Right? There’s something deep-rooted in our brains that’s stimulated beyond reason by the ticklish pressure of anticipation. Skydiving is no different.

Here’s what to know about this part of it: The anticipation of what’s going to happen on your skydive is much more frightening than the skydive itself. Most new jumpers are so excited that they have some trouble getting to sleep the night before. Every single day, we watch people in our waiting are play out the drama of their nerves in all kinds of different ways. Sure’s shootin’, we know this to be true: everyone is scared to skydive when it’s their first time, and that has a lot to do with the anticipation element.

That said: Anticipation, if you play it right, can be the best part of any good thing. N’est-ce pas? So shuffle aside the fear a little bit and picture yourself as the very-very-good dog balancing a stack of biscuits on his nose, waiting for the OK to gobble them up. (Yum! Freefall! My favorite!)

2. Safety Dance!

As it turns out, you’re probably safer on a skydive than you are at your party. You’re likely to at least have a toe stepped on out on the dance floor, after all; on a skydive, you’re statistically unlikely to get so much as a scratch.

Since sport skydiving started to become a “thing” in the 1950s, the developing technology has continually made it statistically safer. In the modern era, skydiving boasts an excellent safety record, and those numbers just keep improving, year by year. In the U.S., the United States Parachute Association recorded 0.0075 fatalities per 1,000 skydives–24 in about three-and-a-half million jumps–which is the lowest rate in the sport’s history. That’s sport skydiving! Tandem skydiving boasts an even better safety record, with 0.003 student fatalities per 1,000 tandem jumps over the past decade.

To celebrate, we shall do the Safety Dance.

3. We Hope You Dance

We really, really hope you get out on our big, blue dancefloor and open your body and soul to the music of freefall. When sh*t gets real out here, it lets us feel really, fully alive in a way we can’t replicate in any other form.

We want to share that with you.

Let’s put it this way: Once you’ve leapt out of an aircraft cruising thousands and thousands of feet over the everyday Earth below, how could you possibly stop the music in your heart?
