My 1st Skydive VIDEO

Intro to Skydive Footage

Skydive Footage

In this video you will see me hamming it up for the camera as I make my first tandem skydive with Tod from Canton Air Sports. I couldn’t ask for a nicer day!  I think it reached 70 degrees, and that’s hot for Ohio in November!

If you look closely you can see the lines tangled on the right side of the chute soon after it opens. Tod had to cut away to the reserve shoot and I got an extra mini free fall.   Of course I didn’t really know what was going on at the time so I just enjoyed the ride.  I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!

Drinking Game

If you want to play along there is a drinking game that takes advantage of the multitude of horns that I throw at the camera.  All you need to do is take a sip of your favorite beverage every time I make rock n’ roll hands.  And please keep the sips small, because you wont believe how many times I throw the horns!  I haven’t counted, but if you get a total please put it in the comments :)

Thanks!

Thanks again to Ashley, Rick, Tod and everyone at Canton Air Sports for an amazing first skydiving experience!  I hope to be back for more soon!

1st Skydive this Sunday!!!

Skydive Number 1

I’m just about to leave my apartment in Bowling Green, OH for a weekend with family and friends back in my hometown of Yankee Lake, OH.  I’m going to cap the weekend off with my 1st Skydive on Sunday, November 8th, 2009 at around 1pm.

Follow me on twitter here.  I will be posting photos and answering your questions, before, sorta during, and after my first skydive!

I will be doing a tandem jump with one of the instructors from Canton Air Sports and I will be accompanied by Skydive Chick (Ashley Mead) and her boyfriend Rick. The jump will be video taped and I will post it within a couple of days of the jump.  Wish me luck.  I’m super excited.  See you on Twitter and in the skies this Sunday!
