Well, yesterday me and 2 other guys jumped out of a perfectly working airplane at 13,000 ft. Man was it the best rush I have ever felt!!! There is nothing like free falling at over 120 miles per hour. We are planning on making another trip later this summer. We went to skydive chicago and they run a very nice business. For those who are thinking about trying it, just do it!!!!

That's awesome Glad you made it back to Earth safely. I'd never have the guts to sky dive.

Thanks guys. It's not bad at all. It doesn't even feel like you are falling, more like floating. Very intense. I can't wait to do it again!!!

It was a tandem jump. You have to do 2 or 3 tandem jumps before you can go at it alone. Plus there are more classes you have to take before you go solo. Either way though it's still the same rush!!!

Haha, sounds good, sign me up! LOL! Just tell me that once my name is on the list, it's permanent, and that I need to pre pay and once I do that I can't get my money back......that will get me on the plane at least. Then I just need ya to kick me right out of the plane...after I get done swearing at you, I will probably thank you

LOL......... It is really a good time. Besides once you are in the plane and strapped to the person you are jumping with there is only one way down. If he goes so do you :- )
