Thoughts on the freefall portion of skydiving?

I feel like I'm a psycho, and i only say that cause when i went skydiving for my first time it didn't meet my expectations at all, and i was highly disappointed tbh. The best part for me was touching a cloud. I don't get the hype of the free fall, it doesn't really feel like anything. Maybe that's also caused i expected to have a different feeling than i did, but still. Im hoping bungie jumping is what im looking for feelings wise.

I never had a desire to skydive but oddly, I do have a craving to BASE jump

@Jlhzfromep Haven't herd of base jump, what is that?

@Witchyvibes jumping off a cliff or tall building and deploying your parachute before you hit the ground

@Witchyvibes @Jlhzfromep getting into the sport of base-jumping, it is highly recommended to start with skydiving as the canopy skills you need to maneuver your parachute from low height along with dodging low structures. Most places that offer courses make it mandatory that you have at least 200-250 skydive jumps under your belt. Same requirements for Wingsuit.
