You came, you jumped<\/a>, and you conquered. And now, you\u2019re hungry for more. Just when you think you\u2019ve satisfied your skydiving bucket list, you realize it\u2019s just the beginning. We get it \u2014 we\u2019ve been there too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We still get that same fire you\u2019ve got burning in your belly because there\u2019s always <\/em>something new to try when it comes to skydiving. Here are seven of our favorite ideas on where to go from here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book a Mission Impossible HALO Jump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HALO<\/a> stands for High Altitude Low Opening, and it\u2019s as awesome as it sounds. Also known as Military Free Fall or MFF, HALO jumpers exit at 17,999 feet and enjoy 4,000 extra feet \u2014 or about 90 seconds total \u2014 of freefall. The air\u2019s thinner up there, so you\u2019ll get a little extra training on the ground before heading up, and some supplementary oxygen while you make the climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Your Adrenal-IN Pumping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Skydive Perris is proud to be the home of the only on-site Indoor Skydiving Simulator on the West Coast. Time in the tunnel will blow your mind and significantly improve your confidence in the sky. Either after your first tandem, or as an augmented first-time experience, check out our Adrenal-IN<\/a> package. You\u2019ll enjoy two solo flights in the wind tunnel and then head up to altitude and skydive with a tandem instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to Skydive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learning how to skydive<\/a> is one of the most exhilarating and empowering endeavors a human can undertake! Short of sprouting wings, it\u2019s the closest we can come to flying \u2026 and it feels amazing. There are four levels of skydiving licensure – A, B, C and D – each with a prescribed curriculum. As you matriculate through the program, you gain mastery of specific skills which unlock ridiculously cool privileges. Here are the different levels you can earn:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To earn your A, complete our FJC<\/a> (First Jump Course) and then enroll in AFF<\/a> (Accelerated Freefall) program. You\u2019ll gain the opportunity to jump with friends, perform group jumps, and pack your parachute. Fresh Meet<\/a>, the event especially designed for newly branded A License holders, is just around the corner, and this year we made it COVID-19 conscious, so worry no more and get registered<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Getting your B means completing 50 jumps and specific flying and landing training. Once you\u2019ve earned it, you can participate in helicopter, hot air balloon and night jumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After 200 jumps and demonstrated proficiency in key maneuvers, you\u2019ll get your C License and permission to jump with wearables (hello, GoPro Cameras) and try trickier disciplines like wingsuiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Certifiable pros who\u2019ve proven themselves over 500+ jumps, D holders are eligible to apply for a pro-rating that allows them to perform large demo and exhibition jumps. They can also work toward tandem-instructor status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fly in the Tunnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indoor skydiving<\/a> is a great way to practice body positioning, experiment with different techniques and disciplines, maximize coaching time, and share your new-found passion with others. It requires no previous experience, and is suitable for ages 3 and up. And best of all, you can fly in the tunnel no matter the weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Link Up with an LO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Load Organizers<\/a> are experienced skydivers who spread the love by showing new jumpers – or newbies to a particular discipline – the ropes. And at Skydive Perris, we have LOs who are committed to promoting the progression of Formation Skydiving<\/a> (FS), Freefly & Angle<\/a> and Wingsuiting<\/a>. Don\u2019t be intimidated to introduce yourself; LOs love <\/em>sharing their knowledge, supporting their community, and advancing the sport while sharpening their own skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a Coach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most expedient way to bolster your progression is to engage a coach<\/a>. Whether you\u2019re a newcomer to the sport, consider yourself intermediate, or want to get closer to the top of your game, our coaches can help you push to the next level. Current coaching opportunities include Phase 2<\/a> (free post-AFF training), FS, Competition FS, Freefly, Wingsuit<\/a> and Canopy Piloting<\/a>. Keep your calendar clear for training camps and invitationals offered by P3 – Perris Performance Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find Your Tribe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most fulfilling and unexpected benefits of skydiving is the sense of community that is alive and well at dropzones around the world, including warm and welcoming Perris. Get to know who you\u2019re flying alongside by attending social activities (when socializing is a thing again) and participating in our crazy-fun skydiving events<\/a>. From the Annual Pajama Jump<\/a> and the Easter Boogie<\/a>, to Dueling DZs<\/a> and the Summer Sky Rave<\/a>, our events will make your non-skydiving friends finally understand why they hardly see you anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
