Do you have any upcoming jumps planned? 
Speaker 2
Yes, I'm planning to go skydiving in Northern Michigan in a few days.  I'm really excited!
Speaker 1
That sounds really exciting! Are you from Michigan or are you going there specifically for the jump?
Speaker 2
I'm from Michigan.  I'll be skydiving only a few hours away from my house.
Speaker 1
That is convenient then. How many times have you gone skydiving? How high up are you? I imagine it is quite frightening, but thrilling.
Speaker 2
I've been skydiving probably about 100 times by now.  I'm not sure on the exact number but obviously it's very high up haha.  It's not scary to me anymore, I just got used to it.  It's pure thrills now.
Speaker 1
That's incredible! It sounds like an expensive hobby! Have you ever thought about becoming a skydiving instructor?
Speaker 2
I have but I don't think that's for me.  I'd be too worried about keeping everyone safe and it wouldn't be very fun anymore.
Speaker 1
That is a very good point, you wouldn't want it to ruin the joy that it brings you each time. Who do you usually go with?
Speaker 2
I usually go by myself because everyone else is too scared.  Maybe you can come with me sometime!
Speaker 1
Wow, you are brave to always go alone! Honestly I would love to try, I think you may have convinced me. What do I need to know?
Speaker 2
They'll teach you everything there much better than I could haha, but just know that it's not as bad as it looks! Just remember to enjoy yourself and that an accident is extremely unlikely.

I have considered being a skydive instructor but decided against it, as it would make me worry.  skydive alone. Everyone I know is too afraid.I cannot teach skydiving.
Speaker 1
I found a local place to learn to skydive!
Speaker 2
That is great! Where are you going to learn
Speaker 1
Its a new place about 10 minutes from my place.  I signed up for a 5 session class and by the last class we'll be able to jump out on our own! Do you still go with an instructor or do you go by yourself?
Speaker 2
Brilliant. You are going to love it! Especially, looking at the world from up above. Nature looks so beautiful up there. I skydive on my own now. I go every week and find it more and more enjoyable each time
Speaker 1
I can't wait! You definitely inspired me to get out there and do it.  When are you taking your trip to Northern Michigan? Maybe I'll be a seasoned skydiver then and could join in!
Speaker 2
I am going up to  Northern Michigan in 2 weeks. I think you will absolutely love it. Before going you could listen to some rock music to get you pumped up! Who would you listen to?
Speaker 1
I don't typically listen to them but AC/DC is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of going skydiving.  Something that would really pump you up, you know? Do you typically listen to any music when you go?
Speaker 2
Yes they would be good to listen to to get you excited and ready to dive. I sometimes listen to Led Zeppelin which also gets the adrenaline going. But sometimes, I just enjoy listening to the sounds of nature.
Speaker 1
Yeah I bet it just kind of depends on your mood that day.  Hey how is your lizard doing?
Speaker 2
Yes that is true. My lizard is doing well. I finally named my lizard. I called it Toothless. Do you have any pets?
Speaker 1
Is that from How to Train Your Dragon? I love it! I'm considering getting a dog.  I want to get one that I can take on hikes with me so definitely a larger breed that can handle some warmer days.
Speaker 2
Yes, I am glad you got the reference. My lizard remind me of the dragon that why I chose that name. Dogs are amazing friends too. I am sure long walks would be great. What would you name it?

Speaker 1
What's his favorite band?  I love AC/DC and am going to a concert soon.
Speaker 2
He is really into Led Zeppelin. Wow, that's awesome! I'm jealous. Were the tickets expensive?
Speaker 1
Not too bad.  I bet the skydiving trip is going to be awesome.
Speaker 2
Skydiving is always awesome. When do you skydiving lessons start? Have you already conquered your fear?
Speaker 1
I started already and am so excited for more.  It would be cool to be an instructor.
Speaker 2
Yeah, I bet it would be a great job, though I'm not sure it's the safest. I think long-term I'd prefer something else.
Speaker 1
Yes, it would cause me worry too.  Are you going to any concerts soon?
Speaker 2
No, not anytime soon. I am putting all my money into skydiving for now. Maybe in a couple months I'll go. 
Speaker 1
Would you ever take your lizard with you skydiving?
Speaker 2
No, I think that would be a bit cruel. The lizard can't consent to that and it might be scared. Why? Would you?

Thats awesome! When will your first jump be?

We just did my first tandem jump.  It will be a bit before I go solo.  Are you still planning on going this week.
Speaker 2
Too cool, how did you enjoy it so far? I will be  going this week still, I'm super excited and can't wait.
Speaker 1
I wouldn't lie.  I was terrified, but I believe in facing your fears.  How's Toothless doing? 
Speaker 2
Most people arent able to face their fears so that is too cool that you were able to overcome that! Toothless is doing great, he has really been enjoying the rock music. Have you thought anymore on getting a dog?
Speaker 1
Yeah.  I've been checking out the local shelters online, but haven't been able to pull the trigger.  
Speaker 2
Thats awesome youre looking to adopt from a shelter, there are too many pets in those places needing a good home. I'm sure once the right one catches your eye you'll know and make that move!
Speaker 1
Yeah, it will be great to have a hiking companion.  What is Northern Michigan like this time of year.  Its ridiculously hot where I am right now. 
Speaker 2
For sure! Northern Michigan still gets pretty hot and humid depending on where youre at. It's not as bad up near the great lakes if the breeze is blowing. 
Speaker 1
Come to think of it, I've never seen one of the Great Lakes.  Add one more to the bucket list.  I beat its great to have all that water around this time of year.
Speaker 2
I would say however big you think they are, theyre probably bigger in person, haha! They are definitely worth checking out in your lifetime if you ever get a chance. It is nice having the water to escape too during the middle of the summer, do you have any lakes near you?
