Hey Tim,
All the "woulda, coulda, shoulda, gonna" highjackers aside, this is an incredible experience. Nobody can actually relate to what you've done except those that have actually done it, like Tony and Strawlady. Takes a lot of guts and you "really gottawanna" to face a primal fear like this. Like Tony said, it truly is an amazing life list accomplishment, congratulations. Makes all those little life problems seem a bit trivial, doesn't it? You'll be floating for awhile. So cool...

I still have a smile and my adrenaline starts pumping when I think about it. I was thinking of going this weekend as well, but will actually be skiing at Squaw Valley (www.squaw.com) Resort in Northern CA/ Lake Tahoe area insted.
It's anothing thing on my list to do. It's free for Military so that saves me the $70 lift ticket.
Here it's only $15 to jump if you have your own Rig, so not too far off the $4 you said straw lady. I would love to jump via static line or regular non-tadem ways but for now it was the only reasonable option. For me the free fall was by far the best part of the experience so have the chute pulled at the plane wouldn't be as fun IMO. Would love to do it again sometime though! |

Ha, you should have seen me skiing then. You would have wished I was jumping out of a plane |
