To get certified it is going to be a little over $1000 for all the training. To get gear though thats expensive. Your looking like 3-4k if you get it all new. And about another 1k to get it used. But once you get everything then it isn't bad. I think it was something like $40 per jump. Compaired to the $180 per jump if you are doing a tandom (two people strapped together).

Did any of you watch that video? It is sweet!!!

Wow that's amazing! Congrats on getting certified!
I've always wanted to go just once to experience it. It's on my list of things to do!
Awesome video by the way!
