Skydiving

So today my best friend, Jessica, and I went skydiving. It was crazy and amazing. We had to rock-paper-scissors to see who would go first. Jess won. Just sitting there waiting took forever. I got a radio to see when she was jumping. I couldn't see them until they opened the parachute, which was a hott pink. Then it was my turn. I was already cold watching her. Going up was great. Another person was jumping too on my flight, but at 6000 feet lower than I was. I got to see her jump out. My first thought was "Ooo man." Then we went up until 10,000ft and it was my turn. I got hooked up to my tandem instructor, Keith. He was a great guy. Then he opened the door. I forgot where to put my hands. I kept grabbing on to things. I didn't want to get caught in the wind and just fall out. Then all of the sudden he jumped out and I was free falling through the sky at 120mph. It was crazy!! You can't breath through your mouth. It is pretty much impossible. Trust me I tried that. It was great though. The free-falling part was the best. It was amazing how fast it was to drop 5,000ft. I think it took 5 seconds. The funny thing was that he told me that at 6,000ft he would show me my altitude thing and that I had to pull the cord at 5000ft. I was like okay i can do that. I put my hand on the cord and was watching the dial drop. Then all of the sudden he pulled it and I was like it's not 5,000ft yet. Apparently he meant that between 6,000 and 5,000ft I was supposed to pull it. You can't tell me a certain number and mean something else. It doesn't work like that. Then we were floating through the sky. I was able to turn the parachute how I wanted. However, all of those turns do not do much for my stomach. It was here that I realized that I was freezing. Man was it cold. However, I was not going to think about that. The landing was perfect though. It was so soft. I always thought that it was going to be a little rougher. Maybe acquire a bruise somewhere. Nothing!!! Wow!!! Recommend it to everyone.
