I jumped out of a plane today.

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

It felt like if you stuck your head out the window in a car, only on your whole body. I didn't feel like I was falling, more like I was floating. It was really neat, but I was extremely calm the whole time.

I'm one of those people who definitely DOES NOT like risky things, so I don't think I'll ever go skydiving. ;)

Glad you liked it though. \:D/

That was awesome! I have wanted to do that for years now but still haven't made it around to it.... :( I was actually all set and paid to go when I found out I was pregnant. Now I am waiting till the daughter is a little older so I can leave her. Do you plan to go again?

Just the video was awesome!! Skydiving is something I've always wanted to do. It just looks like an amazing thrill.

Definitely. You could have just given birth while skydiving. That'd be something your child could brag about later on. Okay, just kidding. I am going again this summer. My friend was going to jump with me but he hurt his ankle, so he didn't. When his ankle is better, I'm going again. I'd like to start doing it once a year, but all over the U.S. I watched a lot of youtube skydiving videos, and Hawaii is beauuutiful for skydivng.

That looks amazing! I'd love to go skydiving - if I can work up and sustain the courage to do so, that is ;)

lucky you! that sounds like so much fun
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I- I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
