Well?!?! How was it?? Altitude, Delay, feeling on exit!?!?!



Great! Got a little above 5,000 ft, probably 10-15 second delay. Longest snivel I've ever had on my Sabre! I really thought the exit feeling would be terrifying but I noticed more weightlessness than the rollercoaster feeling. I did a nice slow backflip while someone exited the opposite side. The jump was filmed by two people so I'm sure I'll post a video as soon as I get a copy.

He said "the one on the right".
Looks like a guy to me?
Ewwwww



Oh!

Well, that's cool, if that's his thing, not my thing, but you know, what ever makes him happy.>:(



You bastards! I knew I shouldn't leave a post and then go to bed. :P
The guy on the far right is my dad. My mom got to ride with us in the balloon. First time either had seen me skydive.

BTW: I'm a horrible skydiver, I forgot my case of beer. But I had plenty of people reminding me. :D

Oh, and now I know first hand about Farmer McNastys. I was on the second load and the balloon landed on someone's farm. The people who owned the place said we couldn't get to them from the house. We drove down the road and climbed UNDER THE BARBED WIRE AND ELECTRIC FENCE to get to the balloon! Just as we do, the farmer comes driving down from his house (the way that noone could go >:() waving his arms, acting pissed about something. We hopped in and got out of there. When we chased the balloon after our jump, there were a bunch of police there. The cop said his dispatcher told him "there is a balloon stuck in a tree with someone hanging out bleeding." Needless to say, it was a beautiful landing in an open field. These redneck farmers really need to find something better to do. [:/]

We had 2 balloons and one of them made 2 loads. About 10 skydivers and a few observers.
