    Once at Mile High...it was awesome! I want to go again and again and...

    What a weird feeling looking out the side of a plane. It goes against everything you learn as a human...like don't fall from high places especially planes!

    But I thought the hippie looking pilot wearing flip flops who hardly slowed the engines as we were told to board the old plane was great.

    My tandum said he was a aerospace engineer who did this for beer money. He also told me, as he was straping me to him from behind, that he took a Viagra that morning before he discovered his wife wasn't home. Hahaha, funny guy.

    My first thought as we jumped was that I didn't feel any sense of falling. You know, that feeling of your stomach in your throat? Nope, didn't feel that at all. Just felt the wind and grin on my face. During training I had learned to pull the chute. He told me that I need to pull when I hear him say "pull". Pretty easy, right? Well, during the jump I thought maybe I heard something but the wind was so loud I wasn't sure...and I certainly didn't want to pull to early so we kept falling. A few more times I thought I heard something but wasnt sure and I didn't pull. I thought we were still very high up. Then I really did hear him say "pull" and I pulled the cord. Whet the chute deployed I looked up and saw all the other tandems WAY above us. I thought, "no biggie, the free fall is going to be the best part so I'm glad we got to do more of that".

    But then my tandem asked me if I wanted to do some fun shit and of course I said yes. He told me to pull hard right, and then left, and so forth. We did some awesome corkscrews and spins all the way to the ground. We were horizontal during the turns and that was more awesome than the free fall.

    We landed, I gave him a nice tip and I want to do it again.

    If I had another guy doing that to me from behind, I'd jump outta the plane, too!

    If it didnt cost so dang much I would. I jumped in vegas out by the hoover, that was cool and the only time I paid my money for it. But I cant afford it anymore.

    I did one jump when I was stationed in South Carolina, and it was cool but having a dude strapped to my back kinda ruined it for me. My buddy ended up getting this hot female instructor that I had dibbs on during the instructional class before the jump. I got a balding middle aged man named Steve. What a bunch of crap.

    Honestly it was a blast though, if I had a little more time and money I would love to get qualified for solo jumps.

    Its the most fun you can have with your pants on.

    I love it. In the midwest we get an extra 5000 feet of free fall compared to here
