This is a case of using the media to ramble instead of rambling about the media.  I just had to put the video of my first skydive experience up for all to see.  It was really cool, thanks to my brother for footing the bill.  It was a birthday gift.

Check it out:

Okay so I feel a little guilty about not referencing some media angle on this post so I will say that Vegas Extreme Skydiving (VES) is doing themselves a great service by offering the DVD’s to people.  Not only do they make sure to start the video with a good few seconds focused on their contact information but when I uploaded mine to YouTube I noticed a bunch of others from VES as well.

If you search for skydiving on YouTube you are bound to come across a few from VES and possibly be influenced to do your jump there.  I think they should even offer to upload your video to YouTube for you.  I’m sure some less computer savvy people would love to be able to embed their video on a blog or email a link to a friend without all the hassle of doing it themselves.

That way friends and family could see your jump immediately after your done instead of waiting for you to come around with your DVD.  

“Free YouTube upload with purchase of DVD!!”

Makes sense to me.

What do you think?
