Skydive





Here is a 1980 picture of me with an old Wenatchee friend, Rufus Woods in Issaquah Washington. We did our 1st static line jump after a few hours of ground school. I made a dozen jumps after that but only got a 5 second free fall from 3500 feet. Now the hottest thing in skydiving is the tandem jump. This is where you are tied to an instructor. I called Rufus and asked if he was ready for another adventure. I guess we both were so there we are 28 years later in Snohomish Washington. We both did a tandem jump from 12,000 feet. This gave us a 1 minute free fall. Now that's the ultimate thrill! Watch the video below!
