Skydive

I’m jumping today at 5pm. I love checking things off this list!

I have to admit..
I’m to fucking scared to do it..
not worth worrying about though
cuz
it will never happen!!

Well, I did the whole bungee jumping experience a couple summers ago… probably the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done in my entire life… We went to a theme park where they had this huge SkyDive bungee jumping set-up, and paid some rediculous ammount of money… But the HEIGHTS, and the unkown of whether you’re going to break off the chord and go crashing into a tree or the asphalt as really not appealing. I don’t think I even WANT to go skydiving… so I don’t know why I put it up. Parasailing, maybe.

But jumping out of a plane, not so much…

It’s nearing summer’s end, but unfortunately, I did not save enough to do the jump. On a more positive note though, I paid down most of my credit card debt and will be financially free (save student loans) by the end of September. I think having that peace of mind will outweigh the sadness of not skydiving. Also, with the credit cards out of the way, it’ll be a little easier to save for the skydive!

when I was traveling around Australia. I had it booked and everything and then the company screwed up the booking and booked for the wrong day and I couldnt do it because I was leaving for the next place then.

I think I have chickened out since then though :-( Might not be able to do it, but I’m going to leave it on my list for now just in case I change my mind (again)

I have a fear of edges so I’m hoping if I do this it will get rid of it! Also I think it would be the most amazing experience ever!

Well I’ve never been afraid of heights but I have a fear of falling. I think I need to do this to know I can be stronger than my fear and finally live out my dream of being able to fly! I think I watched too much peter pan when I was little.

I went to the Florida Keys this May (2008) with a few friends and my sister and we proceeded to fall out of the sky. the view and the experience was exhilarating! I did ask the instructor if anyone had ever thrown up on him on the way down. They said “no” but looked worried like one of us were going to be the first…

I did this when I went to Hawaii. WORTH IT! amazing view!! amazing experience!!

My roomate and I went skydiving on Sunday. We loved it so much we went twice! It was the coolest thing I’ve ever done, freefalling was awesome and after I pulled the cord and we were just kinda floating down I saw the world in a whole new way. Being up that high is AMAZING! I am now addicted and will probably spend all my money on skydiving once a month. Its expensive (200.00 first time, 50.00 for a video, and 150.00 for the second time) I spend 400.00 in total, but it was truly truly worth it. We went to Capitol City Skydive in East lansing (michigan). I will admit that I had to be thrown from the plane the first time by my instructor because i freaked out last minute. But the second time was even cooler and they let me pull my own cord, fly the plane and do a backward flip from the plane off the wing. IT. WAS. AWESOME.
