Skyventure indoor skydiving - Hh's adventure

I'm flying. And now I'm soaring. And, abruptly, I'm plummeting like a rock. And then I'm sort of flying again and Derick, my skydiving instructor, is using the hand signal he showed us earlier that means "relax."

I'm trying to relax, really I am. But I'm falling and flying and flopping around in the 120-mph breeze trying to do as well as the 40-year-old man who did so well in the flight tunnel just before me. Of course, the Man had prior skydiving experience and whirled around through the artificial windblown sky.

Me, I'm a sack of potatoes tumbling through the air. Apparently I have yet to master the "Superman" pose employed by my friend T, who came with me to fly. She is acting like a kite through the 120-mph breeze like, well, Superwoman. But am I having fun? You better believe it. She had a blast too.

I've wanted to skydive for about a year now- but thought better of it, what with jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and all. Skyventure is skydiving without the legitimate fear, or mathematical probability, of death. This is skydiving lite, but it's still great fun.

And if you don't want to thrust yourself into the wind-driven vortex, ( like my mom) spectators are given a seat in an observation area to view all the fun they're missing.

Adventure accessories provided: helmet, jumpsuit, goggles, instructions on how to stay alive, photo of yourself flying (prices vary).

Happy Birthday Hh- 13

These are opposite the order! the one above was pre- flight and the top one was post flight, with the flying in the middle!

Yes this was soooo much fun, I am sure we created a monster flyer.

Skyventure is where Hh wants to go for the 13th birthday celebration. We went there today to see it live and in person, just to be sure she really does want to do it!, she came away more detirmend than ever. Should be a fun time, I told her she could invite one friend to do this with her. ( it is a little pricey) - we will try to get video of the adventure and post it too. She is all over doing this, next it will be the real deal out of a plane?!?!
