Hmmm I felt kind of bad for the photo "stalking" but hey it was invited. This looked really sweet. About how high up did you fall from?

I want to go skydiving one day .-.

I was more nervous when I was in the car omw to the airport. When we arrived I had to wait quite a while before it was my turn since the airplane was so small it couldn't take more than 5-6 people and I think that was to most nervous part. I couldn't do anything but wait.

The view from the window in the airplane was quite amazing also. It took almost 30min to got to 2800 meters so I had loads of time just checking the view. It was quite scary however since we had no door in the airplane and the pilot wanted to take very intense turns. It felt like one would fall out. ^_^ Good thing I had a dude with a parachute ontop of me. hahaha ^_^

i'm actually planning to do this when i turn 18 as well (you have to be 18 in the US to go skydiving).
what does it feel like falling from the air?

For me it felt very chaotic. ^^ I guess the more you jump, the more knowledge you get about what's happening during the fall. There wasn't any specific thoughts going through my head just: "Oh god, oh god LOLOLOL" and don't try to smile while falling cus your face will go =DDDDD ^^

yeah it's a quite interesting experience, i recommend everyone to do it ^^. i jumped myself not too long ago, bout 13k feet or 60sec of freefall. i kinda got bored during the freefall (like staring into a giant fan >.> ) but the parachute part was friggin awesome, much more exciting than freefall imo. lost my monkey though

i jumped with a stuffed monkey but cameraman dropped it mid-freefall lol
