Skydiving Was Amazing!

By Randy Jensen | May 30, 2009

I’ve been wanting to go skydiving for a while now. I finally got the chance to go today. It was absolutey incredible. Pics and video below.

Shortly after we jumped out of the plane. You spend about 60 seconds in freefall and 3-5 minutes of canopy ride.

My instructor is apparently bored… (can’t blame him considering he could do 10+ jumps a day though :)

Just pulled the chute. You go from 120 mph to 20 mph in under 2 seconds…Hence the constipated look on my face.

Coming in for a perfect landing.

    Man that looks awesome! love the pics. Who took them one of your mates or one of the instructors?
    I wish that I weren't one of those people who will probably wet themselves when jumping out of a plane!
  • One of the instructors was falling right in front of me taking pictures. It was pretty epic!
  • Very nice pics and video!
  • Great post. Skydiving can, in fact, change one's life. To hear the story of one young woman's "aha moment" experienced on her first jump, check out this video -- ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/221 -- I think you'll enjoy her story. This site, by the way, was created by Mutual of Omaha to highlight good works, inspirational stories and "aha moments" of all kinds. Take a look.

    Thanks,

  • Awesome pics dude! Looks like it was really a blast.

    Can you throw up while your falling?
  • I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think the instructor would appreciate chunks of food in his face ;)
  • That's *awesome* bro - I've never done it myself (had a chance a long time ago and missed it).

    I did go Zorbing in New Zealand, which was something I always wanted to do, so I guess I'm doing okay :)

    Love the video!
  • Thanks man. It's totally worth the time and money. Seriously amazing experience being up there.

    Not gonna lie, I had to look Zorbing up...wow! I think I'll have to add that to my list. Everybody should check it out: http://www.zorb.com

    Thanks, they actually made that video in about 10 minutes after my jump. Pretty cool stuff.
  • I can't remember where I first saw Zorbing, but when we decided to go to NZ, I knew I'd have to do it no matter what.

    It was raining and cold (well, sort of cold - it's about as cold here today, and this is supposed to be *summer*, whereas it was winter in NZ!)... but I went anyway.

    No way I'd fly 10,000 miles and not do it!!!

    For anyone in North America, you can find a Zorb park in Tennessee.
  • Randy, you're such a rockstar. How amazing. I think I want to try it...NOT!
  • I can tell you're going to be going tomorrow...just admit it ;)
