I've been wanting to go sky diving for sometime now and I was wondering what the experience is like. If you've gone skydiving care to share what your experience was like like?

    Well, here's how my jump went. When the door was opened when at altitude, I lost my breath for a sec when the cold air hit me. When i was hanging outside the door ready to jump, the jitters set in. Once we jumped, it was a blast with a great view! When the chute is pulled, it'll pull on you pretty good as you're slowing quickly from 100+mph to 20-30mph. Once you get down to parachuting speed, its smooth sailing and you can really look around and enjoy the view. My jump partner offered to do flips and spins if I wanted to. The landing wasnt too bad, just butt-slid on in. I got the video and picture package, and get made fun of since i didnt think to keep my mouth closed and my cheeks were flappin around pretty good. I'd probably do it again....

    I've been a few times, my first jmp was a bit of a blur - just remember not being able to catch my breath during free fall (kinda likea really fast closed in water shoot- u can breath just shocks you a little!) my second, third and fourth jumps were much more exciting now I knew why to expect! Best feeling in the world when the shoot opens and it's suddenly silent! Expect some bruises on landing thou - its hard to get it right first time!

    Next up a bungy jump for me..
