Everything Eli

Back on the ground

Well I did it. I jumped out of a plane and survived. Well duh, otherwise I wouldn't be making this update. OK so here are the details I tandem jumped from 13000 feet up in the air. Now I was thinking that I was going to be scared or nervous about jumping, but I wasn't. I was amazxingly calm, even laughing and joking with my tandem instructer on the way up. So here is the only freaky part. Before you jump you go to the edge of the door on your knees. So I am there on the edge of the door looking down at the world. And then out you go. You would expect to have you stomach in your throat, much like a roller coaster, but it wasn't. So then we fell for about 40-50 seconds and then they pull the cord. It was just an easy glide down after that. And if you are wondering I will be doing this again. I am not sure when, but it will happen. And I will be positng the pictures and some of the video if possible, so stay tuned.
