    Default Skydiving

    My son's girlfriend celebrated her birthday yesterday by doing a tandem skydive in Longmont. Jumped at 10,000',short freefall and then about a 4 minute jump. I've got to give her credit for doing it. She can't wait to do it again haha Great day for her.

    I skydived from '80 to '82, long before tandem jumping came about. Most fun I ever had! It's better when you have to save your life yourself.

    I did it in Cedar City Utah, 1978. No tandem at that time either. Pilot was wearing cut-offs, ball cap and sandals...period. Great time!
