today i jumped out of a plane !
#1

well at 3pm CET today I jumped out of a plane strapped to someone else (tandem hop) for my first ever parachute jump !

i'll post a link to the video of the event if any one is interested (as soon as I get a chance, still waiting on the file(s)),

 

the jump was my 40th birthday present and it was the MOST EXCITING THING I'VE EVER DONE EVER !!!

 

what an unbelivable experience !!!

 

awesome but also terrifying as well as terribly exciting !!!

 

we jumped from 3,000 metres up (that's 3 kilometres !) and did 40 seconds freefall approaching speeds of 200km/h then my tandem pulled the cord and we glided down to earth for the next 5 minutes or so

 

here's a few photos,

 

WHAT A DAY :)
