Default Skydiving

Goin skydiving on saturday. Anyone done it before? I'm pretty stoked about it. Sucks though cause to skydive by yourself you gotta be eighteen here and so I'll be strapped to some guys balls etc. I don't care it'll still be fun. I'll be taking pictures from the air and probably post them.

I wanted to do it, but I didn't want to go through all the training and everything...it was kinda expensive at the time so i said nevermind. plus i'm like afraid i'll end up in a tree or something.

Ah, I've wanted to do it for a long time. I don't really care about the training or how long it'll take. I just wanna jump out of a plane hahah. It will be a grand ol' time.

hahaha Skydiving is awesome. From what I heard that is. A few of my friends did it once with an instructor or something. I pretty sure you have to do it attached to an instructor first. My friends asked me if I wanted to do it but I bottled out. I waited for them on the landing zone, it was scary just watching them land.

My chemistry teacher used to skydive all the time. He even
skydived with a bunch of WWII vets with their old parachutes
and nearly broke his legs.

My parents both have. My mom passed out when she was still in air. Lucky they have emergency chutes.

You don't have to be attached to someone for your first time if you're 18+.

I'm going camping this weekend now and skydiving next weekend, oh well.

I went skydiving once in Sydney, Australia although before I could even get into my skydiving gear they made me sign a contract pointing out that if I died they weren't held responsible for it. It's fun you will like it =).

Wow. That's all I have to say. It was fcking amazing. I hope to make this a permanent hobby of mine because it's just so completely intense. It was weird though because I didn't get an adrenaline rush or anything from jumping out of the plane.

Parallel to the ground, that was pretty cool.



I'm gonna start savin up and do this as much as I can.

Hurts my nuts. The jump suit was too small for me, even before I put the harness on it was constricting.
