Sky Diving

Post by epilogue »

I recently did an indoor sky diving party for a friends' b-day. It was awesome. In my "youth" I wanted to sky dive. But something happened in the pandemic that changed my mind and made me terrified of sky diving. But after doing the indoor iFly thing I think I really want to sky dive again.

Anyone hear been sky diving? What was your experience? Do you recommend it?

Also, I owe you a drink after the last Broncos/Chiefs game. It would be a shame to die before I can pay out.

Friends of mine have done it and loved it but I would never. I can barely get up a 10 foot ladder.
