Went skydiving yesterday...
...and holy crap was that awesome!
I was a bit nervous, but once you scoot your butt to the edge of the bench and hang out the door, you don't even have a second to think...you're gone!
Think I had fun? lol I love the bangs sticking straight up.
Re: Went skydiving yesterday...
How cool!
That is on my bucket list.

Me too!
Where did you do this at?
We did it in Tecumseh. http://www.skydivetecumseh.com
I guess it was about a minute, but it's hard to say if it was that long. We jumped from 14,000 ft and did a freefall for about 10,000 ft.
Well it's kind of funny because I'm scared of everything! I've never been on a rollercoaster, I hate the water (like going on a cruise, being out there in the ocean kind of freaks me out), I've never been a big fan of flying, etc. So, I was sick of being a pansy and figured, go big or go home!
Awesome! I've always wanted to do it too.

Awesome! I have gone a couple of times and had a blast. That cotton mouth during the freefall sucks, doesn't it? lol
Is your jumpmaster's (or whatever they're called) name "Chopper" or something like that? He looks like the guy I jumped with. I went to Brooklyn, but the airport has been closed awhile.
So...do you look at the sky differently now? ; )
omg, I couldn't breathe up there! I'm sure if I would have kept my mouth closed it would have been better, but I had a video taken too, so I felt it necessary to "wooooooo" when I was up there.
And I believe his name was Chopper lol. He didn't tell me that, but I heard others referring to him as that.
And I think I will look at the sky differently now
haha I'm not even sure it's possible to keep your mouth closed! It's funny how it stops the minute the chute opens.
I'll have to post a pic of Chopper to see if it's the same guy when I get home. He was really cool. I felt dumb being strapped to his chest when we scooted over to the door. My knees weren't touching since he's taller (not much) than me, so I felt like Mini-Me.
Glad you had a blast!
That's awesome! I will continue to be a big chicken however. :-p
How fun! Looks like you had a blast!
I would NEVER be able to do it. I hate flying, so much so that I actually cried a bit the last time I got on a plane
I need something solid under my feet!
