Skydiving - Check
Thinking - I seriously hope this guy on my back is not gay!
Did I feel something poking my ass?
Probably not. Perhaps somersaulting at 10000 ft. should be of higher concern than any poking. Is this even supposed to happen? The world sure seems weird upside down!
Need some orientation... time to get out the drogue (and breathe)
OK, this feels brilliant! I am gonna have spiked hair when I land!
Time to pull the cord. The canopy opened. God loves me!
Ok, so it was a crash land. There are times when having a huge soft padded butt could be an advantage!
Yes, I am DA MAN!
I think everyone should do this once. The 40 second free-fall is absolutely amazing and when you glide underneath your parachute, the world looks surreal! For two weeks, I have been trying to dive and for some reason the weather Gods were against me. Too many clouds. And this weekend was supposed to be no different. We spent Saturday night dancing at a friends wedding all the way to 3 AM and then I get a call at 8 AM asking me to look out of the window. Nice sunny day and not a cloud in the sky. And so we were off for skydiving. I kept yawning as I got into the jumpsuit. I kept yawning as the plane gained altitude. And I think I yawned during the free-fall. The instructor was rather amused at how I was all zonked and not jittery in any way. He actually checked to make sure I was not drunk!
I have a video of the entire free-fall, but am too lazy to rip the DVD. So meantime, you guys can enjoy this little preview of the build-up which a friend shot with my cam. And if I ever get around to it, I'll update this post with the freefall video.
Till then, I think you should skydive. At least once. On a cold Michigan Fall day. And have the wind cut through your skin. Its mind-numbing!

while jumping off .. did he push u or u pulled him?
who clicked the photos /captured the videos?
does that come with the package or you have to pay separately for that?
You forgot your countdown!
And good photos... worth a try then I suppose :)
You should change your name from Iron man to "The Fall Guy"
Looks like US popular media has a name or two for all of Apoo's avtars.
Excellent! I definitely wanna do it next year!
I want to do it so badly but alas...no one to sponsor the $150.
#Memphis: We just jump together on the count of 3.
#Iyer: I had a third person jump with me to capture the photos/videos. It costs extra!
#dewdrop: Yeah! I did forget my countdown!
