Thanks! It was exciting, and absolutely beautiful up there. So peaceful in an odd sort of way. Simply amazing.

OK, I'm jealous. Always wanted to do this, but legs just won't take the landing.

plf!, land with the feet and roll , of course when you have buddy attached to you back who controls the chute that wont happen.

Ok, so.... I wanted to jump so bad, it was like something inside of me that lost its mind. Now I know why i can’t trust my dog in the back seat with the window down lol.
we jumped out and went into a roll and I watched the plane fly away, then we rolled and I could see the ground. 120mph on your entire body is both loud and turbulent. It was awesome watching the camera man so close.
then the chute opened, ouch! It’s like slamming the brakes on and thinking your head is going to go through the dash.. but not really cause your feet swing below you and the sensation is just confusing.
then.... complete silence and a smoothness that’s indescribable. I could see the delineation of the heavens and the earth. It was surreal. I honestly felt so connected with a God and I felt like I was in his presence. I felt free.
it was beautiful. He gave me the chute to steer anywhere I wanted to go. words just can’t describe it all.
then we landed. Three hours later the adrenaline wore off and I was exhausted lol
