When my brain goes into overdrive and I need an escape... I do what most people would do to get away. I jump out of an airplane.
Ok. Maybe MOST people don't do that... but in my world... they do!
I started skydiving a little over a year ago and it's been a life changing experience. Freefall from 13,500 feet lasts about a minute. You don't realize how long a minute is until you experience free fall at 120 mph.
In that minute, nothing else matters. The sky is my playground and there's nothing better than sharing my playground with some friends.
This past Sunday I had a few friends come out to the DZ (drop zone) and do some tandem jumps. I shared a plane with them and did a horny gorilla exit with a couple of friends. A horny gorilla exit basically means we all lock knees and hold on tight and throw ourselves out in a ball that tumbles and rolls. Ideally you can put your arms out at some point and beat your chest like a gorilla. Later I did a safe sex exit with another friend. Safe sex means you straddle another skydiver and tumble and roll similar to the horny gorilla. I had a great time and was lucky enough to get my skydives on video.
I thought I'd give my readers a little introduction to skydiving... this is my first post on the subject, but it most certainly will not be my last!
Enjoy!
