Talk My First Jump

Did my first sky dive today.

Not tandem but accelerated free fall

I went up about 14,000 feet and they let us drop

I wasn’t really nervous until I saw others jumping out of the plane and I said to myself im about to jump out of a plane that isn’t even on fire

Basically I fell about 8000 feet and pulled my own chute and landed myself. during flight i was not scared at all I actually felt really comforterable. On my landing I fell on my butt because I thought I was higher than I really was. either way the instructors were impressed. My brother was on the next flight and he did a great job. We were going to do it a second time but it was rained out

Oh well hopefully next weekend

I recommend it to anyone!





*i think im addicted*

I did a bungee jump once, and that was QUITE enough for me to realize my feet were meant for solid ground

Something about seeing the ground? What's worse is you have to go backwards when you bungee jump, or at the end of the line you'll do a flip.

I'd love to go skydiving someday. How long so you fall for?

I don't know why anyone would jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

I just went head first, no flipping to do

Excellent!!

I'm a big fan of this sport, and bungee jumping too, can't wait to try it, they have set up a bungee system at a tower not far from my house here, it costs about 70 euros but I think it's worth it, I hope to try it once my summer holidays start

So you saw what you were jumping off of? I guess it depends on the setup of the bungee tower.
