13,500 ft, 130mph, 60 seconds of freedom

I did it! This morning I skydove with my girlfriend in Xenia, OH. Starting at over 13k feet, I jumped tied to my instructor into what I would describe the thrill of my life. After 60 seconds and reaching speeds of over 120mph, he pulled the rope and we glided down towards the ground for like 8 more minutes.

Awesome! I even got to control the parachute for a few minutes. That thing is amazingly controllable and easy to fly. I would recommend this to ANYONE who has the cojones!

I even got a video, I'll transfer it to MPEG once I find the time.
