In about 3 weeks (November 7, to be exact) I will be experiencing tandem skydiving for the first in my life. I have already started having such anxiety over it. I have always wanted to experience it even though I have a slight fear for heights. Skydiving is on my unofficial “Bucket List.” I love roller coasters and trying extreme sports, such as Snowboarding. I have done the sling shot thing (half of the video above) at the LA County fair and loved it. But for some reason, I am really nervous about this next extreme sport I will be trying. I know that I will have an instructor with me, but it is still nerve racking. I know once it is over and done with I will want to do it again, but just the days leading up to it, is scary in a way.
A friend and I will be going to Palm Springs for the weekend and both experiencing this for the first time. We will have an hour of training prior to our take off. We will be free falling for about a minute and about 7 to 9 minutes of parachuting. I will definitely needs some relaxation after the experience, so Palm Springs is perfect for that. I wonder if my instructor will let me tweet from the air?
