Blue Skies is AWESOME!!! I was terrified when I got there the morning of my jump!! My whole life I've always been the more timid type....""you want me to do WHAT?! ....no thanks, I'll stand back at the sidelines and watch all of you have fun."" Well, my cousin talked me into being brave and jumping out of a perfectly good plane! Soooo, I agreed and there we were at Skydive Oregon signing away our life and waiting to be called on! It was actually very comforting getting there as early as we did because we were able to see other groups go up and land! Sooooo cool! We had about a 5-10 minute class instructing us on how we should jump and what position our bodies should be in as we freefall!! (BIGGEST RUSH EVER!!!) I felt confident as our group was called after observing all the groups ahead of us & our class that I was going to be just fine and have the time of my life!!! I suited up, was video taped by my AWESOME camera man, Josiah, before my jump and headed out to the plane! I think I would have been more scared if I hadn't been the ONLY girl in my group surrounded by beautiful men (especially my instructor Rocky & camera guy Josiah!!)!! I had to be brave! The plane ride up to 13,000 feet was incredible! Absolutely beautiful scenery and a total out of body experience! My instructor,Rocky, went over everything with me on the way up & made me feel comfortable and STOKED about what I was getting ready to do. Thanks, Rocky!!! ;) I was 2nd to jump out and it was the most amazing thing ever!!!!! Freefall was the craziest part - totally awesome!!! After the chute opened we just enjoyed the view and the rush! Landed after about 8 minutes and I wanted to head straight back up!! I'll definitely be back! Thank you Rocky for making me feel safe, for getting me down safe and being a part of the most thrilling & exciting experience of my life!!!!! Skydive Oregon you rock! Anyone looking to skydive for the first time should come here! You won't regret it and you'll be back!! Thanks again! :)
