点评:I did the tandem jump with my son Hunter to celebrate his 19th Birthday. The day was perfect! Beautiful sunny and warm. Our instructors were so nice! And a ton of fun! The flight was beautiful!
Being an adrenaline junkie I asked my instructor if it would be possible to do a flip out of the airplane rather than just jumping straight. He agreed as long as I did what I was told instruction wise to allow the flipping to happen and with his control at all times.
He made double sure that flipping was still my intention before we got out the door and when I said yes enthusiastically!
We did 3 flips and then fre fell afterwards. It was incredible!
I had also asked if we could do the fast 360 degree spins with the parachute deployed.
Which my instructor told me how to conduct. And allowed me to do 3 - 360 degree spins while I had control of the parachute. And laughing with me as we did them!
The only downside to our crazy 360s was that it unfortunately, had us land much faster and I had less time in the air. Than if not done. But it was totally worth it to do the 360s! It was so much fun!
We landed before my son and his instructor. Who were apparently less crazy than us! As they had exited the plane before us. And we landed minutes before them!
The landing was right where my instructor wanted it to be. And exactly how he wanted it.
As was my sons parachute time and landing!
All of which was even harder to do on what had become a very windy day. But I can honestly say that my instructor was in absolute control the entire time! And there was no time. Not even a second! That was not exactly as my instructor wanted it to go. And completly within his complete control and skill!
It was a 1 of a kind experience that was absolutly incredible!
I was never scared! At any time! During the flight, exiting the plane, or during the skydive!
It was actually completly peaceful, soul filling, calming, mind quietening, extremely blissful experience! I am addicted to the feelings!
I look forward to enrolling in. And completing. My Solo Jumping Course through Extreme Skydive!
I would strongly recommend doing the tandem jump through Extreme Skydive as the 1st jump.
Make sure that you do it with someone you love! It's a bonding experience like no other! That both my son and I have the hugest smiles on our faces every time we talk about it! Both together and with others!
The pictures and video are totally worth the cost!
We have great pictures to share and videos we can both watch! And to be able to share with my future grandchildren.
To be able to prove to them, that their dad and their grandma use to be cool! And that we did amazing, and what some may call crazy! Things together!
The experience was a 12 out of 10! Thank you so much to Extreme Skydive!
And thank you especially! To our instructors! That made our jumps extraordinary!
I will be back again within the year! To start my Solo Jump Course!
Best Birthday Gift EVER! My son has said repeatedly!
Even though he was very nervous of it when I told him his gift.
He went from saying"I will be able to say I did it once in my life and survived it" before we went. Believing that he would simply survive doing it. And that he would never want to do it again.
Which turned into my son saying after our jump, "It was the best experience of his life and he can't wait to do it again!"
And also saying, "Will I pay for his Solo Jump Course for his birthday gift next year?"
Well worth every dollar spent! And the perfect way to spend a beautiful summer day!
With my favorite man! My son Hunter. Thank you Hunter! For trusting me to do it! Even when you were terrified! And now, you have also conquered your fear of heights too!
Anything is possible when you take the 1st step! And intentionally step out of your comfort zone! to grow, change, overcome your fears and experience the many joys of life!
Always challenge and push yourself to go beyond what you think are your limits!
Do things that scare you!
Meet people that challange you!
See things that excite you!
Go places that are foreign. And emerse yourself in the differences. And most importantly of all!
Remember that life is created by your choices. Large and small. So have the courage to change your life if you are not happy with it.
And create a life that gives you joy daily!
Thank you Hunter for being one of my greatest joys in my life! Adulting with you is a ton of fun!

翻译:为了庆祝儿子亨特19岁生日,我和他一起进行了双人跳伞。那天天气完美!阳光明媚又温暖。我们的教练们非常友善,整个过程也乐趣无穷!飞行体验真是棒极了!
作为一个极度热爱刺激体验的人,我问教练是否可以不用直接跳下飞机,而是先翻个跟头再跳。他同意了,但条件是我必须严格听从指示,这样才能顺利完成翻滚动作,并且全程都要在他的控制之下。在我们出门前,他再三确认翻滚确实是我的意愿;当我热情地点头同意后,他才放心。
我们完成了3次翻滚,之后便自由下落了。真是太棒了!
我还问过是否能在打开降落伞的情况下进行快速的360度旋转。
教练详细教我了操作方法,还允许我在控制降落伞的情况下完成了3次360度旋转。做动作时,他还和我一起开心地大笑呢!我们做那些疯狂的360度旋转动作的唯一缺点就是:不幸的是,这导致我们降落得更快,我在空中停留的时间也变少了。不过做这些360度旋转绝对是值得的!真的非常有趣!
我们比我的儿子和他的教练先着陆。显然他们没我们这么“疯狂”!因为他们比我们先离开飞机,而我们却比他们早几分钟着陆!
我的着陆地点完全符合教练的预期,也正如他所希望的那样。我儿子的降落伞展开时间以及着陆情况也同样完美!在那天,风势变得极为强劲,做这些事情就更加困难了。但我可以诚实地说道:我的教练自始至终都完全掌控着一切!根本没有丝毫出错的可能——连一秒钟的失误都不允许!事情的发展并不完全符合我教练的预期。不过这一切也完全在他的掌控与技巧范围之内!
那是一次独一无二、简直不可思议的体验!
我从未感到害怕!任何时候都没有!无论是在飞行过程中、离开飞机时,还是跳伞的过程中!
实际上,整个过程都无比平静安宁。一种灵魂得到充盈、内心平静、思绪安宁的极度幸福体验!我完全沉溺于这种感觉了!
我期待着报名并完成Extreme Skydive提供的单人跳伞课程。
我强烈推荐把通过Extreme Skydive进行的双人跳伞作为第一次跳伞体验。
一定要和心爱的人一起去体验哦!这是一种无与伦比的增进感情的体验!每次我和儿子聊起这件事时,我们脸上都洋溢着无比幸福的笑容——无论是单独在一起还是和其他人一起时都是如此!这些照片和视频绝对物超所值!
我们拍到了很棒的照片,还有可以一起观看的视频!以后我还能把这些分享给我的孙辈们。
这样就能向他们证明:他们的爸爸和奶奶曾经也超酷的!我们一起做了许多了不起、甚至可以说是疯狂的事情!
这次体验满分12分的话我能打12分!非常感谢Extreme Skydive!
尤其要感谢我们的教练们!正是他们让我们的跳伞经历变得非同寻常!我会在今年内再回来!去参加单人跳伞课程!
这绝对是我收到过的最棒的生日礼物!我儿子一直都这么说!
虽然在我告诉他礼物是什么的时候,他显得非常紧张。
在跳伞前,他还说:“我至少可以自豪地宣称自己这辈子经历过一次跳伞,而且平安无事。”他原以为自己只要能平安完成就算成功了,以后也再也不想尝试了。
然而,跳伞结束后,我儿子却改变了想法。“这是他一生中最棒的体验,他迫不及待想再体验一次!”
还有人问:“明年我是否应该花钱为他报名单人跳伞课程作为生日礼物呢?”
绝对物超所值!也是度过一个美好夏日的最佳方式!
和我最爱的男人一起——我的儿子亨特。谢谢你,亨特!感谢你信任我、让我带你来体验!即使当时你害怕得不得了!而现在,你也战胜了对高处的恐惧呢!
只要迈出第一步,一切皆有可能!主动走出舒适区吧!这样你才能成长、改变、克服恐惧,并领略生活中的种种乐趣!
时刻激励自己,努力突破你认为的极限吧!
去做那些会让你感到害怕的事情吧!
去结识那些能激励你的人吧!
去看看那些能点燃你热情的事物吧!
去一些陌生的地方,沉浸于不同的文化之中。而最重要的是——
请记住:人生是由你的每一个选择塑造而成的,无论这些选择大小如何。如果你对自己的生活不满意,那就鼓起勇气去改变吧。创造一种能让你每天都感到快乐的生活吧!
谢谢你,Hunter,你是我生命中最大的快乐源泉之一!和你一起成长真是乐趣无穷啊!
