Bro, 200 jumps in 4 months is not easy. Congrats!! It’s helps that you work at the DZ. the stuff you’ve learned in this video is priceless. Keep those positive vibes. Stay focused on your goals. I’ve jumped at Deland before its a pretty cool DZ. I hope to visit again soon.
Thanks brother, and yes, I would get jumps in daily either on first or last load of the day. Sneaking away any chance I got to jump. There would be days where I spent more money on jumps than I made on that mat that day 😂 just trying to share what I’ve learned. I love Deland, hopefully we can meet up. Blue skies.

on number 9 finding skydiving has made me the happiest I have ever been in my life. Nothing compares.
Heck yeah brother I couldn’t agree more!! By the way if you don’t mind me asking, how’d you find out about my channel?
@@SalvadorChangg over the past month I've completely immersed myself in skydiving content and found one of your newer videos from my algorithm and pretty much watched everything haha.
On point! That was my takeaway as well!
My guy I came across your stuff on Instagram and Im so glad I did. My first AFF jump is in April. Been wanting to jump since I was a kid. We pulling the trigger this year baby. So excited. I told the wife it was for stress relief. She didn’t understand. 😛🤙🏻
It’s definitely a form of therapy! I’m hyped for you and thank you for the kind words! Where are you going to do your AFF? Looking forward to seeing your progress! Keep me updated on how things go!
@@SalvadorChangg Im in Ohio so Im jumping at AerOhio. Im sure those midwest views will get less exciting at some point but Im just excited for the community. We got the same idea. Good vibes and clear skies. ✌🏻
Mondays are my favorite day now. Thank you for the advice and amazing content as always :) Keep doing what you're doing
I look forward to your comments haha always with the great/funny energy ❤️
Wow! That's a lot of jumps brother! Love all of the good energy!
Thanks brother!! Good vibes only 🤙🏼
Just came across your channel, i must say it's the best channel for beginners starting out. It helps me alot (im at my B-rels). I like how your bring forth great advice in a fun, informative and sincere way. Keep up the superb work man!
The video I didn’t know I needed to see, thanks man. I wanna start my journey upcoming season can’t wait.
🔥💯 Loving the realness! This is just the beginning, let’s goooo! 🤙
Shout out Cuba!! Keeping it 💯 big dog 🤙🏼 My brother from another mother
Awesome video. Can’t wait to get into this sport. Love the content.
Sign up for AFF!! Make it happen!!
You always speak truth..and always from the real stage.. 🤘 great going brother 🤘🤘🤘
Appreciate the love brother!!! Are you a jumper yourself?!
Awsone speech!!! Congrats on 200 jumps!
Thanks buddy 🤙🏼🙏🏼
You rock man, look forward to meeting you one day!
Bro! Love this video! I started jumping May 5th and I've been jumping several times a week. I'm currently 12 jumps deep and on full solo status. I'll have my A license by the end of the month!
Great job, brand new to your channel and it great. Glad you are of the positive mindset. You gonna find haters every where you go. But keep on, keeping on. I have done 7 jumps and I was a soloing quick and others that were a couple jumps ahead of me we’re not soloing and they thought I was getting special treatment. I just blew it off and kept a positive attitude. Then I discovered diving. I really love that. I also had to get away from the negatively. Diving puts you with nature. And all the sea creatures are awesome. So hang in there and every day is a blessing. So I am going to take a few weeks off and do some more skydiving 🪂. Life is good, enjoy it to the fullest.
Good vibes only!! bit*^ don’t kill my vibe * kendrick Lamar Voice* hahaha
Yo bro, that's some real wise advice right there ! In my case (only 20 jumps) I was so focused about my progress and skills to that I had to polish that I almost forgot to had fun along the way. I was looking too far ahead and was practicing all the moves for the next exam and now I do realize that it is not a race. As a rule of thumb I always do a fun jump from now on, just having fun and staring at this magnificent view. As you rightfully said "enjoy the process" that's a nice reminder thanks man.
To me skydiving is a way to empty my mind during 50 seconds, nothing else matter, and I don't think about this noisy world we live in, but each second in the sky are priceless. That's peace really, plus a bit of adrenaline and fun. And finally skydiving is the best democracy I've ever experienced hehe. Age does not matter, nor the race or where you come from. You meet people you wouldn't have otherwise, and that's what make this whole thing so unique.
Have fun !
Yes brother you have to enjoy the process and the skydiving community is like no other in the world. We are a family!
Good job Sal!
I am on my 15 jump
your videos is really good! Helps a lot us who is starting on the sport.
Whenever you come to Brasil let me know.
I might go to Skydive in the US soon.
BRAZIL!!!! 🇧🇷
Wow.. 200 in 4 months?!. I'm planning to do this in 2 years.
Congratulations for the 200 and for the channel. Hope to see you jumping in Brazil soon
Slow and steady wins the race. Representing Brazil 🇧🇷!!! Shoutout Brazil 🇧🇷
okay number 9 hit me deep. thanks for uploading ;-) Blue skies
It’s the truth, a bunch of sick puppies looking for an escape from their demons 😂
Born new Smyrna Beach and raised orange city here! Love to see the locals posting content. Did a jump in the cape and been obsessed since.
Sick bro, us Florida boys Gotta stick together haha 🤙🏼 appreciate the support
@@SalvadorChangg absolutely 💯 keep it up!!!
Good video, good advice…thank you for sharing
To everything you said Salvador.. Amen brother !!!!
Hey just recently found your channel, I love your videos they are so informative and helpful. I am from the UK and I’m doing my first tandem with the Red Devils (I’m sure you know then they are at Deland now doing their team training) I’m so excited and I already know I’m going to LOVE IT. It is something I have always wanted to do. Keep up the hard work and stay safe.
Blue Skies 🤙☀️
Truly appreciate the kind words and I’m excited for you to do your first jump! Definitely let me know how it goes for you and what you thought about it!! The Red Devils are professionals so you’re in great hands!!
Thank you! I will certainly let you know how it goes I’m booked in for the 18th of May fingers crossed the weather plays ball this time for me! (3rd time lucky I guess haha 😂)The Red Devils are fantastic at what they do and it’s all about safety first! Happy jumping and I will let you know how my first dive went. Stay safe and Blue Skies ☀️🤙x
Awesome video, awesome insight. Will you ever do a video doing a tour of the van? maybe a day in the life?
Possibly some time in the future if enough people want to see it
Good stuff young man...careful.
Slow and steady wins the race :)
Great content. Thank you for sharing, I’m on jump 27, just got my A!
Aayyeee congrats on get your A license!! Now you can jump with groups!! Work on your belly skills!! The fundamentals will take you a long way
@@SalvadorChangg thank you man!! Keep posting, great videos. Inspiring me.
Van life. Bus life! Love the mobile, rent free life! Boom baby! Stay free my man! Love this freaking video! Stay awesome!
I’m trying brother, still in the van and have plans of upgrading in time. Right now I can’t see myself living in a traditional home with a mortgage… just not for me
Really great video! Hopefully when my wife n I are Orlando in May I can do my first jump! I just hope I have the guts to do it.
Go for it bro! I promise you will not regret it.
200 jumps...too cool!!!
A licensed and 35 jumps here. And the humility point will never be an issue for me; I don't know SHIT about skydiving. Hahahahaha! Even when my instructor stamped me, I was like, "Wait...what? I can jump on my own, now?"
Congratulations on your A license!! Keep it up and good on you for staying humble. When did you start skydiving?
@@SalvadorChangg
First tandem was August of 2020 (thought it was gonna be a one and done type of deal). Got into AFF soon after, failed Cat C twice (couldn't stay stable for shit). Did some tunnel and did a few more tandems. LOL Restarted the whole process again via STP this July. Got licensed. Been slacking off (let the anxiety get to me for no f'ing reason). Just did a coach dive last month and going back in a week or so to attack it with a vengeance.
Could of been B licensed by now (SMDH). Ha, ha, ha!
Love your videos. Keep 'em coming!
And blue skies!
At 227 jumps, now. And I'm still a noob! 😅
Share this video with Pro Tech air conditioning. Great product placement.
Fantastic positive video
I really agree with your premise that the majority of people that get into skydiving are seekers looking for peace and to feel alive. Also running from pain or trauma. That is most certainly the case for me. Whether it is surfing, snowboarding, quad racing, or skydiving - I find my happiest and most grounded place doing such things. Definitely helps me in a therapeutic way.
Couldn’t agree more
Absolutely! Me too!
You're awesome 😎
7 months ago at 500 and now almost 3000 subs!! Great job! I have considered the van life for sure. Might have to look into it to free myself up for skydiving expenses. 😎👍
Van life was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life! No rent, no Morgatge, no bills! Just me, my friends and adventure!
@@SalvadorChangg I am seriously going to do this. Perhaps you could do a video one day on your setup and any tips/tricks to make van life easier?
Bro I've been going back and watching all your videos and they're DOPE. I'm signing up for my first tandem at Jump Florida Skydiving and pursuing my AFF. I'd like to get to where you're at someday. Might have to slide up to DeLand for a jump. Keep it up bro.🤙
Appreciate the feedback and props to you for taking action!! Definitely let me know how your AFF journey goes, I’m excited for you!! Just take things one jump at a time and have fun, that’s why we’re here right? Slide to Deland. I’m always here. Would be sick to meet you!
@@SalvadorChangg you've got me convinced. I'm going to come up there instead for my first tandem. My wife says she wants to #SENDIT as well so I think she's jumping too. I'm stoked dude.
Just starting my AFF journey this week. Appreciate this video. I realize that it will be key to not compare my skydive journey to any one else's. Strictly my own therapy and growth process. Your list is all that I felt after the first tandem. Love the highlight of being present and mindful, because that's where balance is. Great video.
Thanks for the kind worlds and support. Yes, I couldn’t agree more, everyone’s journey is independent and their own. Do not compare to others. Just go at your own pace and do what makes you happy/comfortable
I love this vid I had to watch it again after I passed ground school last Sunday woop woop🤘😝🤘goin back up to dz this sat and hope to get up to lvl 6 this weekend!…..but I do have to ask about that 1 dive you talked about..I know it’s not good to harp on it but I know you learned something that dive and it would be good to hear about it from a safety standpoint so we may learn too! …luv u brutha
This is one of my favorites as well. Just don’t make low turns, be conservative at al times and fly within your limits. If you do that you’ll be good.
“Who gets to do this?” Indeed. 116 and counting. Each one better than the last. Well, except for the unfortunate incident on jump 101, but hey, it’s all part off the game. Looking forward to seeing your very own jump videos.
Yeah buddy. I have a hole series of personal jumps I’m going to do coming up very soon!!
nice video! sponsored by Pro Tech Air Conditioning. LOL!
LMFAO I was thinking the same thing 😂 that was not a planned sponsorship but planned ones will be coming shortly *fingers crossed* Skydiving is really pricy lol
Great job , I hope to meet you someday
Thanks, right back at you Joe
Yup, skydiving is so-called therapy,lol, and then also the community.
Learned a lot. Been trying to figure out if I can swing the money and get certified myself!
It’s pricy that’s for sure lol 😂🤷🏻♂️ but what else would I spend my money on?…
@@SalvadorChangg only got one life and I cant take that money with me🤘🏻 if I do it I want to do it at Skydive Deland! That’s where I did my first tandem
nice one
Yeah buddy
You make excellent points. I would like to add 200 jumps is the magic number for BASE and Wingsuiting. I started both at around the same time when I had like 250 jumps. I do not recommend this based on my experience. I didn't and I still don't have the canopy skills to land in technical landing areas in limited visibility. I would suggest at least 500 skydives with a focus on accuracy and quickly correcting off heading deployments before doing your FJC.
Appreciate the feedback! Working on canopy techniques ask we speak. Check out my most recent video
I know this is an older video, but I’m going to be doing AFF next spring/summer, and would also like to live the van life at dzs…Only thing is that I shower daily, how did you find showers / get clean lol
💪🤘
I seriously agree with you I went skydiving on the 3rd the day before 4th of July 2022 and after I did the tandem jump with Toshi at Bay Area skydiving in Byron Ca. That cost me $425.00 with video package. That night I could actually sleep better for some reason. I think it helped me get over some fears. I also seriously agree that the skydiving Community is small I tried to get two co-workers to skydive and they would not do it and I also been talking and interviewing people and their eyes just get really big and I could see the fear and they say they will never do it either. Anyways your videos are very helpful and I agree with you 100% that it is therapy Bible says we will meet Jesus in the sky at the end. 1st Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Amen!
Preach man! Hyped you joined the sky family
" In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play " ---- Nietzsche
Solid quote and I couldn’t agree more. Let your inner child out to play. No point in taking life so serious, it’s not like we’re going to make it out alive
Bro you must ask Pro tech to send you money for advertising 😂 By the way i'm a skydiver from France and I love what you're doing, keep it up 🔥
Bro you’re telling me, I’m still waiting on the check to come in haha FRANCE 🇫🇷 REPRESENTING!!! Thanks for the support, how many jumps do you have brother?
@@SalvadorChangg I'm a baby baby skydiver, only 84 but enjoying each one of them like the first one ! Hope i will be able to visit DZ in US as soon as possible haha
LMAO I have 145 jumps and still haven’t get my A license 😅🥴 oops
Girrrrllll I guess at this point go straight to C at 200 😂🤷🏻♂️
for me working and saving to become a skydiver this video is a super booster.
I am from India We do have DZ here but only for Tandom so I will come to the USA next year.
I do need your suggestion about the DZ, I will ping you on Instagram.
Thank you man, I love your video, keep it up.
Do your research online for the best DZ in the USA. There’s plenty of lists and choose from there.
Jeez dude, how did you get to do AFF for only $1500?
My dropzone charges $3000 and so does the other nearby DZ.
So I can't do it this year- I gotta work through the winter and wait until next spring.
Anyways, haters gonna hate.
I enjoy your enthusiasm and content so keep rockin' It!
I think AFF is still around that price here at Skydive Deland …. Or at least close to that? Maybe 🤷🏻♂️
Yo come jump at Piedmont in NC 🤙
I might just have to make a trip one of these days 😉
so, do you pack chutes for your money? if not, what do you do for money in a van life?
i'm genuinely interested cuz i seriously dislike paying $1,500 a month for my tiny, shhheit apartment... and every f-ing year, they raise it.
Yeah pricing for homes are wild!!
Bro this month is Apr and I just start my Skydiving AFF license and I’m 22 years old cross country truck driver
I did my second level 4/20/22 today
Heck yeah man congrats 🎊🎉🎈🍾 just take it one jump at a time and remember to enjoy the process!!
How old are you? You’ve got too much wisdom already my man.
How old do you think I am?
@@SalvadorChangg early 20s? I’m in my 30s but tempted to sell it all move into a van and skydive everyday too.
Why do you have to wait for 200 jumps to video yourself?
It is a USPA rule, at 200 jumps a skydiver normally has enough experience to safely be able to have a camera on their equipment (helmet typically) if they choose to. It mostly has to do with safety and experience. This goes to say that even though you have 200 jumps you may not be ready to use a camera and at that point it will be up to you to make the smart decision based off of your level.
wait before the 200 you cant record yourself??? why's that
Stick to skydiving.....BASE jumping is so RECKLESS...no reserve...ALTITUDE IS YOUR FRIEND DURING A MALFUNCTION!!!
