Im back on the ground! First Skydive! Video inside!

[Busaman5000]

Well, I finally did it!

What a great experience that was! Its hard to describe the feeling. We went up to 14,000 feet and made the jump. When we jumped it kinda took my breath away from me at first. I kinda had to make myself breath. The air was really cold but that was the least of my concern lol.

You really don't feel like your falling. Even know you know you are. The worst part was the wait leading up to it. I didn't really start to get butterflies until about half way up when it really started to dawn on me just what I was doing. But once you make that jump. Its really not that bad.

The instructor was really nice and professional. It was like a big happy family up there.

We went ahead and signed up to jump again! It was 50% off if you signed up the same day. We are also gonna jump when we go to Vegas in January! I think I may try to get my "A" license.

Tried to get this uploaded on youtube but couldn't get it to work. I hate seeing myself on camera. I never know what to say and my face looks like a st Bernard when I jump with all the wind! lol

Super cool bro. No matter how many times I jumped, I got sweaty palms every time they cut the engine back and opened the door. Time to GO GO GO GO!
