The things people do to get high, pumped, jazed, excited, etc. Riding motorcycles and ATV's is probably been one of the biggest highlights in my life. It is extremly hard to beat the feeling that I get on a bike. Flying threw the mud or attempting a hill for the 6th time in my truck comes close. Getting into the Badlands parking lot for a 4 day trip, man, that feeling is hard to describe as well.
Well, I beat them all this past weekend. Leaving a plane at 14,000 feet, freefalling until 5,500, and under canapy until I landed gently on the ground. Doing a "red turn" that put my entire body horizontal, with the parachute vertical. The silence of the rest of the glide down. Being able to look for miles, while your doing 120mph towards the ground. Exiting the plane, feeling the pull of gravity accelerating you, the wind rushing and howling past. Then the pull fades, your just there, flying. And even with that being said, I can't describe the feeling.
Thank you Melissa, for making it possible for me to do this. Thank you Skydive Chicago for provideing a fun, exciting atmosphere. This is a great place to go, and I recomend diving to everyone. Just one more thing to take off of your bucket list.
