I had the time of my life this past weekend – Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying” pretty much sums it up. After dreaming about skydiving for years, I finally mustered up the courage, visited the Parachute School of Toronto – and more importantly, found a few other newbies who wanted to try it with me!
We headed to Baldwin, On., where the school is located – complete with a morning of diving, laughs, and tummy butterflies.
Their experienced instructors took us 13,500 feet into the air, where we jumped out of the aircraft. Their staff, instructors, and media gurus (I pick the word ‘guru’ because it takes a sh!t load of skill to jump out of a plane and open your parachute, all while taking photos and videos) were as nice as ever.
Do I recommend this? I HIGHLY recommend it.
wow, you grabbed some fantastic in air shots. looks like fun.
This looks so awesome! Great shots.
I know, eh?! The photographers at PST were amazing! 🙂
You are so much braver than me! Fabulous shots of such a memorable and exhilerating experience.
You got me at the title, Emily! Astrid and I talk about that often…living as though today were our last. Experiences for us are more important than things to buy, so we love to travel and see things. I have often wanted to paraglide…NOT junp out of a plane. Maybe one day I’ll do it! 🙂
That is a very cool set of shots.
A friend of mine jumped out of a plane for the first time as a way to celebrate her 75th birthday.
wooo this set is really wonderful, I think it takes great courage and determination to do this!!!
i never dared to try this…
4th shot from the top is simply amazing!
Those mid-air shots are awesome!
Sweet shots! I use to jump out of Airplanes when I was in the Mil not too long ago. Looking at these photos got my heart pumping! I’m glad you had a great positive experience, being in the air is not natural for us humans 🙂
nice and great fun!
Wow…what great shots! What a rush that must have been, and I have to say, a very brave thing to do.
ooohhh, that looks like fun! 🙂
You’re so brave!
WOW! Congratulations for your courage. Best reportage. Bravo!! Have a nice day 🙂
looks scary 😀
Oh man, this is so cool. I fondly remember my first couple times jumping in Hawaii a few years back. I need to dig up those shots for a blog post. Thanks for reminding me!
Looks damn fun 🙂 hope you had a nice ride 😉
