I went solo my first (and maybe last?) time. Cost around 300 bux for training and equip rental etc..

the training is about 4 hours, then they go over it again before you jump. hmm.. when I say solo, there's actually 2 other trainers that hold in the air while freefalling so you dont tumble and ----, till u open your chute.

The hardest part was getting ready to jump off the plane. the cold wind blowing on your face, hands trembling as you hold on the side of the plane then you signal the trainers you;re gonna jump-- you think, ---- it, then jump. The freefall is the best part, its like when you stick out your head at the freeway going 100MPH except you're not in any vehicle. once the chute is open, bleh, thats pretty gay.. just gliding.

Oh ya.. one more thing, make sure you close your mouth while freefalling. Youd be surprised how elastic your face is.

my bro and my dad went indoor skydiving in vegas... It's a circular room with a big ass fan and you just float. The vid for it was so cool

'Wifey' is just another term for my girlfriend that I have been with for 3+ years, whom I live with and constantly get bugged about when I am going to pop the question.

But someday I hope to have both a wife and a girlfriend who know about each other and occasionally like to make out with each. Oh ----...I was just dreaming there for a second.
