Skydiving

May 27 2007 1:37pm

I went skydiving yesterday in Maine with Tristyn, her mom and her roommate Natalia. We were scheduled for the 9am class, but heavy winds grounded the flights for several hours, so we made a whole day of it on the sunny grass. I was in the plane with her mom, and Tristyn and Natalia were in the next one. We did tandem jumps from 14000 feet, freefalling for about a minute to 5000 feet, then landing on the airfield. Enjoy!

Update: I uploaded Tristyn's jump video here.
