Default I just jumped out of a plane today

I went skydiving at Skydive City in Zephyrhills. Since no one would go with me I decided to fly alone today. It was the ultimate rush. It felt more like flying and not much like falling at all. I didn't have the butterfly feeling at all like I thought I would. I felt like an eagle soaring through the clouds. I felt a bit of motion sickness after the chute opened but nothing too bad. The main chute took a long time to open and my instructor was getting nervous but it finally opened and gave us a bit more freefall time. We caught some crosswind on landing and we hit hard and I sprained the heck out of my right ankle But it was soooooo worth it!!!. I recommend it to anyone with a big pair of brass ones. I have an awesome DVD video and great regualr pics.

Who was your instructor and videographer?

Skydive City is a great place to go, very safe and fun.

I just hate the plane ride up, the jump itself is awesome.

Post the pics here, I don't have nor want a myspace acct

btw, if you get enough people to go you can get a group rate, just an fyi in case there are enough interested parties.

So you did a PFL, instead of a PLF.

At least you did enjoy yourself. My Wife wants to try this someday. Since Zephyrhills is close enough, will have to look into this.


Glad you enjoyed it.

Good Job!

My First jump was solo! After multiple drops from a line.

You learn to PFL, but for you I'm sure it is hard with a guy strapped to you.
