I cannot begin to explain what it is to skydive. AWESOME just doesn't describe it. It's unbelievable. It's dangerous. It's a fearful act and yet requires a fearless person to see the world below you as you take the plunge off the plane. For those of you who have gone skydiving you know what I'm talking about. The second we jumped off the plane I let myself go and just opened up and smiled and we even went right through a cloud and that was awesome. I jumped from 10,500 feet in the air and when the parachute opened it snatched me up and I thought the strings were gonna snap. We went in circles and sideways and I landed perfectly safe and got it all on DVD from getting on the plane to stepping off the plane to landing safely. I have to do this again!!!!
Oh by the way, you can talk casually to the person as your skydiving like they do in movies. I always thought that was so fake!

Mama Lisa says to keep your butt on the ground like God intended you to do!
But life on the ground is so dismal. Besides, Darrel said he's going to go skydiving too.....and I want to go with him......just to be sure he lands safely....
I can't let him jump alone......

Hey Steve, did you see the news story of the skydiving Elvis who hit the ground going about 50 MPH? He broke his pelvis! But his rubber Elvis hair protected his head!!
Really, Steve. Your feet belong on the ground!!!!
