I went skydiving for the first time for my 22nd birthday. My boyfriend was so sweet and took me. The first thought that came to my mind when he told me where we were going was sheer panic - of course I thought about the chute not opening, my legs breaking, having a heart attack, etc. When we got there everyone was so nice and helpful. They put all of my worries aside and when it came time to meet with my instructor I was feeling excited. I was paired up with Lonnie, the best instructor I could have gotten. Right off the bat he was cracking jokes and making me feel like this really was going to be an insanely awesome experience. He explained everything to me clearly and focused on ensuring that I relaxed. My number one rule, he told me, was to look good. That's it. When we got up into the plane he had me do some breathing exercises and kept reminding me to just smile. My boyfriend bought the video and photography package and Brad documented my birthday experience. Everything was beyond perfect. Brad made me look like a pro in the video and the pictures are so much fun. Lonnie is making the greatest expressions in the pictures and my friends and family love them. Thank you so much Start Skydiving for the absolute best birthday experience I could ever ask for. My boyfriend and I can't wait to go back and jump again!!!
