Jump because... "I completed the AFF course today at Skydive City & did my first Solo Skydive! That called for a very enthusiastic Jump ;-D

Jump #14, solo. No instructors sitting behind me in the plane walking thru the jump... my yoga breathing came into play here. Ommmmm....When the other 15 skydivers left the plane, I was @ the door & looked back at the emptiness & green light... There's no turning back. The wee self preserving part of my brain was trying to tell me to sit back down & put my seat belt on, but alas, the other 99% overruled & won out. I spotted & then attempted a dive which turned into a really fabulous tumble. I then played around & did some barrel rolls :) It just keeps getting better! 3 jumps in one day; I've never felt so high...." -Empress*Ali

Jump for a "girls vacation with my 5 best college girlfriends!" - Bridget, who also wrote:

Each time my husband and I travel away from our home in NJ we jump, and I must say jumping never disappoints and always ends in us laughing so hard! I jump because life is too short not to! Jumping brings out the child in everyone and I SO enjoy making others feel good!
