Clints excellent 40th birthday present - a skydive at Perris Valley

Back on my 40th b-day, Clint presented me with a gift certificate for a skydive. I finally got around to using it today. Making it even more special, Caz & Christina came along … and Christina went on a jump, too. It was a blast! It definitely ranks up there as one of the most thrilling things I’ve done in my life.

 

Some photos from the day …

Christina jumped first. There she goes!

Then I jumped. Well, I was pulled out of the plane by Josh, my tandem guide.

A beautiful day for a skydive!

Falling at over 120 MPH. The drogue chute is open. My flabby face is flapping in the wind.

Thats the drogue chute, it slows us down a little and helps open the main parachute
