Skydiving by Cat Verlicco (@growlette5)

I have been tandem skydiving twice as I write this, but once this post has been published I will have hopefully gone up for a third jump. Weather of course is the biggest factor on any given day. I am by no means an expert, I don’t really even like rollercoasters, but here’s my story about the first time.

I was first offered a free tandem skydive as payment for my band playing a gig up at Skydive New England in October 2018. I couldn’t say no to an opportunity like that! And I’m lucky the band has since been asked to play up there a couple more times over 2019.
