Did the skydiving thing...
Well, whilst in Orlando (I leave Wed
![]() http://www.skydivecity.com/html/students/tandems.html It was very cool. Just wish they woulda prep'd me on the fact it would be like really hard to breath during freefall. That made me a bit tense and I kept my arms in instead of letting them go to the sides which made us unstable. Therefore, we did a few rolls and tumbles during freefall. ![]() Then I realized shit was OK and the dude was pulling my arms a lot...so I realized- oh..yeah. Then we stabilized. There wasn't really a sensation of seeing the ground coming up quick during freefall.... It goes from being VERY violent to being VERY calm as soon as the chute is deplaoyed. ![]() I mean...JUST FUCKING BEAUTIFUL dangling in the sky like that. Perfect day weather wise....light wind, bright sun. I was on an adrenaline rush for a *good* 1hr+ after the jump. My heart rate was UP there all that time. What is neat is that I can recalll the experience and get a little rush from it- or at least it takes me out of the world for a bit. Didn't get any video or pics. Will get some when I move here and get certified and jump on my own. ![]() There was some other cool shit to do at the little airport too. Parasailing, glider planes. Only bad thing is that the excitement level was raised. So, any theme park rides are a few nothces lower- I notice. ![]() I hope rockin' roller coaster still gives me some reaction later today. I can sleep during Test Drive now. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
