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.

    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.

  • Wow! Awesome picture!  You are much braver than I am. No way I could do that. I don't even want to get on the roof. ;)

    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.

  • I've been before too - it's awesome.  I had a hard time getting out of the plane - I went static so there was no one to push me!  haha.  But once I was out it was amazing!  I've been wanting to do it again - maybe this summer with a group of friends.

  • That's awesome.  Congrats on getting over your fears!  DH definitely wants to do this some day.  I'm on the fence.  I'm definitely an adreneline junkie, but I'm just not sure yet.

  • 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 Smile

    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!

  • How awesome, I'm scared to death of heights but would love to one day.
