Yeah, I was gonna do all that AGAIN last weekend, but it was raining...
yeah, right!
All the parts in my nether regions shrink up just watching that! I can't even imagine doing it.
What was that first one? It went by so fast, it looked like someone with rockets flying into a canyon!You don't need a parachute to skydive, you only need a parachute to skydive twice.Comment

I didn't see the Angel falls jump in there. But then again my heights squeamishness had me looking at that out of the corner of my eyes. And of course jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with NO parachute

I remember the five jumps I did in SE Asia. No way I'll ever try that again. Kinda hard to concentrate when this sparkly stuff stuff is coming up to meet you.
Real glad those days were over, and Am sure glad I took an extra pair of undies.
