I'm not a pancake.

Pretty big picture (just one) under the cut. Video etc. to come later.



That's Ernie with me. He's their Safety Leader and I was his 13,337th jump. He's uh, pretty chill. :D Check the altimeter: we're just under 12,000 feet. 5 seconds after we bailed at 13,500, that's how fast you're falling: 120 mph. DUDE.



I landed, hugged everyone, high fived, and then walked in and booked jump #2. I'm now officially a junky (and in the AFF school.) I'll be doing all of those sweet barrel rolls and formation jumps in no time.

Now, I go take a nap - I got maybe four hours of sleep last night. :)

Oh my God. Congratulations, but I have to say, this is the sort of thing that scares the shit out of me. Well done!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Not one ounce of fear. Didn't get butterflies, nothing! It's like I belong up there. :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

DO it whenever! I say don't wait. Come out here, crash at my place, and we'll do a few jumps in a day. I'm a total junky now, I swear.

I have to say, it was absolutely peaceful up there. I landed and really felt so mellow, it was crazy! Mmmmm, can't wait to go again!

I just have huge, huge issues trusting my life to someone else's ability to roll up a parachute. Heh.

Plus, flying makes me sick, so....yeah. :)
