IS THAT A BIRD ??? IS THAT A PLANE ????

NO IT'S MEEEEE !!!


I always have been risk seeking and somewhat crazy when it comes to myself and I guess I know thats true now.


Tandem jumped out of a plane at 13,000 feet, yesterday ... Sunday, 20 Apr, 2oo8. The free-fall lasted a full 60 seconds, approx 8,000 ft.

Tried to do this the previous day, but after a two hour wait, the jumps were canceled on account of strong winds. Waited a full four hours on Sunday to get this done. I guess all the waiting, and wondering and analyzing gave me enough time to change my mind, but I did it anyway.

More on what happened before and during the free fall another time. Check out the video for now ... Carl is a brilliant cameraman. Before I forget, pay special attention to the 'exit'. The jump went well and I was (surprisingly) relaxed throughout it, so immediately upon opening of the parachute, Will told me to handle the parachute (made me go left and straight for a bit) while he had his hands full adjusting the landing harness!!!! I didn't ask!!
