Skydiving

“If I could stand in an open airplane doorway two-and-a-half miles above the ground and will myself to step into empty space, then I could do anything.”
— DAVE STEIN, How Winners Sell

On Sunday, June 15, 2003, I made my first Tandem Freefall jump at Skydive City in Zephyrhills, Florida.

From 13,500 feet, wearing a harness connected to a Tandem Master, I jumped and accelerated to 120MPH to freefall for about 60 seconds. At 5,000 feet, we opened the rainbow-colored parachute for a relaxing 5 minute ride to the dropzone. While steering, I made several tight turns that spun us in circles to quickly drop altitude. It was an awesome experience. I proved to myself that I could do anything. The sky's the limit!
