all my life ive wanted to go skydiving, and having just turned 18 this summer i had to go, so my parents bought me a jump and i couldnt have been happier. i just got back and it was by far the coolest thing i have ever done in my life. if anyone has already gone you know what i mean, and if you havent, its a must. as i was waiting in the plane to take off there were a dozen or so people, mostly experienced, but there were a few first timers like me. i can honestly say that i wasnt that nervous or scared on they way up, but as soon as they opened the door it hit me, im jumping out of a fucking plane! to quote a favorite movie of mine, "I give this whole thing a Sphincter Rating of about nine-point-five!" i watched the others fall out, and as soon as i got to the door and looked down, its just amazing. so i fall out and for the first couple seconds im like freakin out because the feeling you get is unlike anything youve ever felt before. i was expecting to get that feeling in my stomach like when you go down the drop of a rollercoaster, but it never happened. i fell from about 13,000 ft. to 5,000 ft. in what seemed like forever but was actually more like 30 seconds. the view is absolutely stunning; there were no clouds in the sky and i could see for miles. after those initial moments you get used to it and just enjoy the ride. this is definitely something i will be doing again soon.
btw 18 is the age limit in america, i dont know about anywhere else.
