Chances are, you\u2019re hemming and hawing about it, too. Are we right? When you\u2019re already undertaking an activity that\u2019s inarguably expensive, adding more to the bill seems excessive&#8211;profligate, even. We\u2019re here to tell you why getting that video shouldn\u2019t even be a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">question<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and not just because they\u2019re, well, cool. (They are.) The usefulness of a skydiving video goes way beyond \u201ccool\u201d&#8211;and that\u2019s what makes them so totally worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Skydive Perris Red Carpet Video Package example\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/555434483?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"565\" height=\"318\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Have you ever had one of those days where you feel&#8211;well&#8211;powerless?<\/strong> Where you feel trapped? Surrounded on all sides by what feel like insurmountable obstacles? When you\u2019re having a day like that, there\u2019s nothing that makes you feel better than watching yourself do something that you thought was totally impossible. It\u2019s like a secret weapon. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I could step from the door of that airplane<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the video reminds you, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">then I could do anything, ever, and this little speed bump is nothin\u2019. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A skydiving video is like a bottled pep talk, starring <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; showing you just how much you\u2019ve got in you. Watching your own face, you\u2019ll remember how challenging it was, but how completely you triumphed over that fear.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, too: It\u2019s not just about the jump itself. It\u2019s about the whole moment. A skydiving video captures you at your best and bravest. We engage you to talk to the camera a little; we snag footage of your plane ride up; of the altimeter reading as it slowly rises; of the receding earth below; of your face as you look out the window. Our camera person even stands on a special step outside the airplane door and jumps as you jump so she doesn\u2019t miss a moment.* Once you and your instructor open your parachute, she\u2019ll use a small, aggressive sport parachute to beat you to the landing area. That way, she can capture every detail of your triumphant return to earth. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it.jpg\" alt=\"camera flyer capturing skydiving video\" class=\"wp-image-17548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it.jpg 900w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-800x267.jpg 800w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-640x213.jpg 640w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-480x160.jpg 480w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-320x107.jpg 320w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-160x53.jpg 160w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-80x27.jpg 80w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-720x240.jpg 720w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-240x80.jpg 240w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/are-skydiving-videos-worth-it-768x256.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the images of your actual freefall are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">definitely<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> going to be in there, we tell the whole story so you can relive it as often as you like.
