Read an experience you too can feel at Flying V Ranch when you want the ultimate life experience!.

"This was a double experience for me, in that it was my first time ever riding in an airplane, so just taxiing and taking off were quite a fun time for me. The entire time drawing up to now - weeks prior.. day of.. never did I get scared. Not scared like I expected to be scared. I blame that on three things - the yearning to jump for so many years, the serenity of watching the world go on 10,000 feet below us, and the fact that there is just nothing scary about skydiving (okay okay - so some may disagree with me on that one..).




The door swung open - now that made sense... a huge rush of air blasted my face and contact lenses - I hoped they wouldn't dry out on me.. my cameraflyer climbed out to the wing.. something I wouldn't do for any less than 200 bucks.

"CUT!!!!!!!!!!" Was I in a movie?? Was it time to stop filming?? OH!!!! Cut the ENGINE.. I thought as the overpowering noise came to a rest... "KNEES OUT".. before I knew what was happening, i was turning upside down then hurtling towards ole mother earth at 125 mph. So surreal.. my stomach didn't have the "roller coaster" sickness that it did when the plane leveled off every so-many-thousand feet.

Everyone wants to know what freefall feels like.. I will try to explain it, although its not quite something words can describe. To me, it felt like "hanging" or "floating" above earth, while being blown by an overpowering wind. It really did not feel like falling at all. The earth did not come rushing at me as I had expected. Breathing was natural. I had a hard time actually realizing that I was losing altitude. The cameraflyer flew into my face to grab a shot of a thumbs up and a smile.. it was so weird to see him come right up at me while we were both falling towards earth. I felt like a curiosity in a cage at the local zoo.

Then I pulled my arms in and the chute opened. The opening shock was much more smooth and gentle than I had expected. There was a rather high amount of pressure on my inner thighs for about 2 seconds... but once my fall rate slowed, I was fine. Now this was cool. I felt like I was nearly 10,000 feet high (everything still looked just about as tiny as it did from above) This was so exciting. My tandemmaster allowed me to steer.. we did a few spins that really put the g-forces on me, and finally guided me in for a smooth, sit down and slide landing. It was so much fun to watch the earth slowly grow larger as we approached it. I got to see Alex zoom by in his chute, and a loud "WOOO HOOO!!" seemed appropriate for the time.

We slid along the wet grassy ground, had a post-flight interview with the cameraman, in which, I was left completely and totally speechless. I immediately walked over to Alex to congratulate him on his jump. After exchanging a low-five and half-hug, we walked back to the terminal discussing how neither of us was actually scared, and how we both loved the experience and would be back for more. We took off our suits and harnesses and spent the rest of the day cruising the town and eating a large (celebratory) steak dinner."
