Jumper

OK so I have JUMPED! It was Bloody Fantastic. Feeling Free. Complete adrenalin rush. I wasn't nervous, ok maybe a little but not that much, was more looking forward... and 10,000ft is very high like 3,000m high, like 3km up in the air high. I didn't realise how high till the door opened and the wind, it actually is very windy 10,000ft up among the clouds even on a still day.

The best part was the Free Fall! falling with nothing between you and the earth and you both rushing towards each other. Spreading arms for wings, thought not as efficient with eyes open and the wind rearranging your face.....feeling the full force of gravity. Then suddenly your yanked back up for a bit... the parachute opens and slows your rush to touch terra firma. The parachute is good if you want time to enjoy the view but for the rush the free fall is the best.

oh I forgot to mention, that I am scared of hights.. standing 10m high hights then look straight down and I think I still am scarred..... though hopefully my next jump will be from 14,000ft.
