Well it's happened.
It seems my ratio of airplane takeoffs to landings has been officially skewed.
On Monday, my good friend Josh convinced me to jump out of an airplane. He and I were in San Antonio finishing filming for some Glorybound videos, and we had to make a stop at his dropzone to pick up some items we'd need for the filming. While there, he let me know that he had earned a $100 credit at a raffle the previous weekend. My only previous hesitation to skydive was the cost, so Josh offered me his credit, and the rest is history. If I were a rich man, I think I'd have a new passion. The 40 seconds it took me to travel almost 2 miles was unreal, and the 15 minute canopy ride, starting at 4,000 feet, was the most peacefull thing I've ever experienced.
So Josh, I now understand your desire to hurl your body out of a moving airplane. Thanks for the ride. (Also thanks to Aaron, my best friend for 30 minutes.)
