I am terrified of heights and I am not fond of flying at all. I don’t do roller coasters or nothing that makes me have that drop feeling in my stomach… By now I’m sure you’re asking why would you go skydiving ??? Well, I just turned 50 and I wanted to do something I usually wouldn’t do… this turned out to be an amazing experience .. I am so glad I conquered my fear.
1. The people who work at this place are down right amazing. They are so light hearted and very comical.. I was already nervous so they were exactly what I needed.. they were funny, relaxed and carefree.. however they were still very cautious and making sure you were safe every step of the way
2. The plane ride up was not like I expected. Fortunately there was hardly any wind and zero turbulence or shaking. It was so smooth I ask my tandem partner was this normal .. he mentioned that generally as it get later the more calm the wind.. so I was glad I was with the last crew up. (which was around 4pm)
3. The scariest part for me was the initial jump out .. I had prepared my mind (I thought) by watching countless YouTube videos.. .. i’m glad the drink feeling was not in my stomach. It was just an over all fall or drop for your entire body. after about 4 or 5 seconds that drop feeling went away I guess my body just adjusted to what was happening.
Once those few seconds were over the free fall and parachute ride was the most amazing thing I ever experienced
I have already put a deposit down to do it again. Words can’t express how this made me feel. The experience itself and the tn skydive made this an experience of a lifetime WORTH REPEATING! – via
