Default Skydiving ownz me...

Well...I may have to quit the Honda scene. I found a new hobby.

As many know I was off on vacation last week, visiting the family up on Lake Ontario in Northern New York State during my birthday.

The wifey bought me a tandem skydiving session in Gananoque, Ontario and holy ----, what a friggin rush. it was such a sensory overload I dont even remember half of the trip down. I went, my girlfriend and my 53 year old mom went as well.

Well, luckily the shoot opened and we all landed safely. I should have some video and pics up later but right now I am bored at work.

Anyone here been as well?

I looks to be a pretty expensive hobby though...at $250 Canadian per trip, I might have to quit Hondas (j/k)

I went in NJ last summer. Theres a place called freefall adventures. Its right off of the AC expressway. It was pretty cool cause once you're out of the plane you look to one side and see Philly and on the other there is the ocean. Here's the site.
