Awesome! I wanna go!PJ_Soul wrote:
Do it. The hour leading up to actually leaving the plane was stressful and terrifying... you get all worked up and nervous and start thinking about broken straps and chutes that don't open properly. And during the plane ride up I was close to shitting my pants in horrified anticipation... and the part where you stick your feet out the door and look down is bad, and the very second when you leave the plane and lose where up and down is for a second is like sheer terror... but once you've straightened out and are just free falling it gets good. Tie your shoes up well - it feels like they're going to come off when free falling and that's distracting. It doesn't feel like you're falling at all - just like you're suspended in a wind tunnel. Then another brief moment of terror when the chute starts to open and you're not sure that it's worked yet. And then, pure joy that you're alive and floating far above the Earth - complete silence (you might want to tell your partner to keep quite for this part of the ride before you jump - mine tried to act as tourist guide, and I just wanted to take it all in in silence. I did not care that the town of Chilliwack was to the East of us :fp: ). And the landing is nice and light (basically). It was amazing (not sure I would do it again though - once may have been enough). Also, if you go drinking after, it's the best drunk you'll ever have!peacefrompaul wrote:PJ_Soul wrote:I've been skydiving.

Seriously, I'm telling my kids to consider becoming mechanics or building contractors. No student loan debt, you make fuckloads of money, and if you play your cards right, you get to be your own boss.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -

My pop was a mechanic. When I'd ask him for a dollar to go to the cornerstore, he would reach into his sock, pull out a huge roll of bills, go through about 15 hundreds, 15 twenties, a few tens, a few fives before he'd find that single dollar (maybe there were two) to give me.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -

That is soooo cool!PJ_Soul wrote:I've been skydiving.
My dad was 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and he spends his time now on the board for Southern Wisconsin All Airborne Chapter. One of their big fundraisers for Wounded Warriors is a tandem jump. My dad and my daughter jumped last summer. My son and daughter are going to jump this summer.
I chickened out.
Maybe this summer...0 -
