This is before take off. The butterflies in my stomach are starting to wake up....
This is the photographer that goes up with you, the camera goes onto his head and he uses a mouth piece to take the picture. He does still photography and video at the same time.
Look in the bottom right corner! That is the ground! When he opened the door about 2 minutes before we jumped I remember thinking "Seriously?"..... "Seriously, I am getting ready to jump out of this plane!" When we were going over the training they said that it is instinct to want to grab onto anything you can get your hands on, and that you shouldn't, but you will. I was thinking to myself "Not me, I will be ready to go." I guess this picture is proof, he is prying my hand that is white from gripping so tight, off of the plane. I think this might have been where my brain was trying to save my life.
There is a tiny little ledge that you are supposed to put your right foot on and then wait until it is time to jump. I do not remember jumping, I wonder if he just kinda gave us a little push to help us along.
I am behind Terry (the man attached to my back) you can see the plane we have just abandoned!
During the bareback riding this guy(Dave Grayson) got hung up. Then the pick-up man accidently got Dave's foot in the rope when he roped the horses neck. (Look at the top picture.) The guy in the maroon shirt was in the audience waiting for his turn to steer wrestle and he came out to help. ....
Along with all of these people. But then the horse took off when the rope was released...... and......
The guy in maroon (Mike Dale) stayed with him, while the horse was running full blast down the arena until he pulled him all the way over the other side of the horse, freeing him.
Talk about oweing somebody....
