Well this weekend, I took the plunge. I decided to make my first skydive jump at the World FreeFall Convention in Rantoul, IL. And without fail, I got hurt. Now this is in no way going against my instructor, Kip, but landing at the speed we did, I felt the need to put my feet down instead of landing on my bottom. And then it happened, I landed on my ankle instead of on my feet. Now knowing my knee situation, you can imagine that my family thought that I blew my knee out, but I didn't. Just a bad sprain. No biggie!!
In other words, we had a blast. Courtney and I were the first tandem jumpers of the convention and it truely was the experience of a lifetime. It was euphoric falling through the air at 120mph, and CRAZY! I was very calm through the jump. It didn't even feel like I was falling. Very nice feeling!
The family had a good time this weekend. Good food and good company. Good times!
The picture is of Bergie, my videographer. More pics to come soon.
