Two weeks ago, I made my first skydive. i did a tandem at Skydive Elsinore. prior to the skydive, i was terrified. I have a terrible fear of heights and of falling. I turned everything off and just went for it. The problem is that in turning off my emotions in order to allow myself to dive, I don't remember the freefall or the canopy opening. I want to do it again and experience it all. I also think I am addicted to it. I am considering working my way up to getting licensed. .... I am terrified and thrilled all at the same time. I am sure that in and of itself is a part of the thrill. I am sure that to you experienced people are thinking it's no big deal for a tandem .. but it was HUGE for me as someone who is afraid of everything .... It changed my life. I can't wait to do it on my own!
