Robi in the air !

I DID IT!! I can't hardly believe it, but it's done! And it was worth it, so much! Yep, I did jump out of a plane, 13 500 feet above the ground, and it was AWESOME ! And I need to write it done now before I get tired of repeating the same thing, because only since yesterday, I might have tell my experience about 5 times ^^. The thing is, I was nervous and anxious the whole ride before getting to the place, but once I filled out the papers and got my jumpsuit on, waiting for my turn to come, I was simply excited to go, and almost impatient ! It was like my brain couldn't think about the fear, the risk and all the bad feelings that could occur. I actually didn't want to think about those things, but just the rush that it will bring to me, and the experience itself ^^. Once we got on the plane, we had to fly for about 15 minutes up in the air to reach the right altitude, like I said, 13 500 feet, or 4000 meters ! Then, attached to my instructor, Martin the world champion ;), we standed by the door, the sky in front of us. The feeling was all there then: I was going to fall into the sky. But I need first to picture you what the sky looked like at this moment. Because it was a cloudy day, we flew above the coulds and were now surrounded by blue sky, with a white and soft floor under our feet. Just this picture, right before jumping, was worth it. Then came the fall, and the one worst second of my life! Ahahah, well it wasn't that bad, but the feeling I had at the very moment my feet left the plane was kinda awful. Imagine yourself on top of a rollercoaster ride, right in the first fall. Well I got this feeling multiplied by.... I'll say a hundred ! Because you don't see the end of this fall, and because your not attached to any rail, and because the air is so cold, your lungs get all cold too and you have a hard time breathing, with the wind going 200km/h in your mouth and nose. But the first second passed, you acknowledge this feeling and it just feel like flying. I could now really enjoy the fall and breathe normally, which is kind of a relief ^^. We then went throught the clouds and just when we could see the ground under, Martin opened the parachute. I don't remember being shaken at that moment, all I was thinking was "already?" :P. The view up there was incredible, we could see so far all around us. He then passed me the handles of the parachute and ask me to "drive" it. Couple of turns left and right, some breaking, and even some spins, it was fun ! And then, too fast again, he took the handles, getting ready to land. The landing was smooth, he touched the ground first, I just slipped on my feet and I lay there, still amazed by the whole trip. My heart was pounding, my legs shaking, but I surely had a huge smile and my eyes were wet because of the wind.

I could never forget the experience I had, but I might forget the feeling I had during the whole fall. I really hope I'll get to do it again so it was so great. And I really wish you to try it, or though to experience something that will bring such emotions. I didn't to this to prove anyone anything, I just wanted to try something different, not as common as other attractions, but I surely did it for myself, for my own pleasure ^^. And I was damm right about it: I had the fun of my life !!
