I will never forget my first
jump…staring out over the Arizona desert at 13,000 feet with my toes
hanging off the ramp of a C-130 Hercules.
On my first Military Freefall jump (HALO) my instructor shakes me
and asks if I’m ready to jump… I answered him with “I guess so?”
from that day I stepped off the ramp into another world…the world of
flight, a world you can’t describe to someone unless they feel it for
themselves.
I say I’ll never forget my
first jump…but with skydiving being a second nature activity now,
sometimes I do forget what an exhilarating feeling it was on my first
jump, that’s why I love flying camera and doing Tandems the most.
I get to be there and capture that student’s first time awesome
experience.
The art of human body flight is amazing, every jump I
learn something, it not just a sport its an art!
Travis’ 2
cents: Never get
complacent-be safe, always leave yourself a way out, and have fun man!
