MP, you made me laugh! Yea, I guess I am crazy. And then last weekend I hiked up to Half Dome. I didn't summit though -- not much left in the ol' tank as I didn't eat real well the day before. Beautiful hike if you ever get the chance (you may have already!). That was another item on my "To Do" list. Check off two in a matter of a week.
Nanci -- do it! No better time like now!
Wheeeeee is right Jobob! I think I'm hooked.....
Snap - I'm attaching the flyer....free advertising for the school, if nothing else.
Quillfred -- freefalling was WAY awesome. Really strange and rather terrifying at first...that lasted about 5 seconds, and then I started to enjoy it, and at the same time trying to breathe....THAT'S hard!! The silence after the chute opened was really neat, though.
I'm considering another jump before the end of summer.Veeerrry crazy! hehe

Will you do it alone next time or tandem again? The freefall is the big plus of going tandem I think.
I bought Erik a tandem jump with video for his 55th birthday last year and he LOVED it. He wants to do it again and he really wants me to go but I'm just too chicken. I think I could actually do it but the waiting time would kill me. If I was just up in the plane with them and they were all jumping and they said, hey do you want to go too? - I'd go in an instant. But the planning and thinking about it - that would kill me.
Anyway, WTG for checking off two things on your 'to-do" list! I don't even have a list - guess I should get on it...

Yea, I suspect that if I did plan for it, I'd be a bit more nervous than I was. But I think I still would have went through with it.
Not sure what's next on the list....probably another jump!

What "saved" me was being first to jump. It helps not having to stress watching everyone go before you do.
Funny, I just unearthed my dive photo. I looked liked I was smiling but it was more of a grimace . Hardest part was having to hang on to the strut and wait for the ok to let go.
Have a great second jump Bikemomma!Yes, SHE can.
