Dnes sa mi splnil jeden z mojich najväčších snov - skok z lietadla! Mattov kamarát Brendan je inštruktor a pracuje pre "parašutistickú" školu, ktorá robí tandem zoskoky, takže sme s ním dnes skákali. Teda Matt skákal s Brendanom a ja s iným inštruktorom, Travisom. Bol to jeden z najlepších zážitkov. Vyleteli sme asi do 3600 metrov a vyskočili z lietadla. Skôr "vypadli" ako skočili, nie je to naozajstný skok. Potom sme po pár sekundách dosiahli maximálnu rýchlosť a padali skoro 200 km/h. Voľný pád trval asi 50 sekúnd, potom sme otvorili padák a pomaly sa zniesli na zem, čo trvalo asi 5 minút. Travis mi ukázal aj nejaké triky, otočky a tak :) Bolo to SUPER!!! Najlepší výhľad na svete!
Today, one of my biggest dreams came true!!! I got to jump out of a plane! Brendan, a friend of Matt's is a skydiving instructor and works for a skydiving school in Longmont that does tandem jumps. So we got to jump with him today. Actually, Matt was the one jumping with Brendan and I jumped with another instructor, Travis. It was one of the greatest things ever. You get to 12,000 feet and 'fall' out of the plane. In a couple of seconds you reach terminal velocity and are falling 120 mph. The free fall lasts about 50 seconds, then you open the parachute and glide for about 5 minutes or so. Travis did some spins and tricks with me, too. It was AWESOME!!! The best view in the world. Thanks so much Matt, Brendan and Travis for making this happen.
