Careful. There's a bit of a drop to that first step...Several weeks ago Salena asked what I wanted for my birthday. I looked around our small cramped apartment and realized that I didn't want any "thing." I have all the electronic gadgets and gizmos a guy could ever want. Running attire fills our too-few shelves and closets and a seeming multitude of running shoes peek out from under the bed. I didn't want any "thing." I wanted an experience. I wanted to skydive.
On Sunday afternoon I jumped out of an airplane 13,500 feet above Calverton, NY.
Words such as "exhilarating," "amazing," "breathtaking," and "incredible" completely fail to adequately express the experience. The pictures speak for themselves...
Many thanks to Salena for getting me the perfect gift! Thank you also to my jumpmaster Dunk and cameraman Adam from Skydive Long Island - they are all complete professionals.
PS - The video is coming soon.
