oh my god!!!!!!!! how scared do i look?!!!!!
yes i did a skydive!!!!!
it was incredible, i would love to do it again!!
i was really excited all morning, watching other people float down before my turn, going up in the plane - until about 11000ft! i casually asked what height the parachute opened expecting around 8-9000ft, nope, 5000ft! we were free falling 8000ft in 55 seconds!! that kinds freeked me out a little! so we get to 13000ft, the door opens, and i really begin to panick. my friend diane moves towards the door, in seconds shes gone! then i get a bit more scared, i hold onto the sides of the plane, and i scream that i dont want to do it (even though i still did i was just freeking out) until im hanging out the door looking down at what looks like a million miles away. at this point
im really panicking as you can see - i kinda think i look more like lucy than me too!!anyway, the camera mans taking all the pics, my tandem man thomas is yanking my head back and then were off!! and suddenly all panick thoughts were gone and oh my god this is amazing is all i can think!! it didnt really feel like i was falling because the ground doesnt seem to get closer! another girl off the tour told me not to make my video boring so i do end up doing a lot of movements which is funny to watch - i cant wait to show you guys! we went spinning, we went through a cloud (which felt kinda warm!) and came to a sliding stop as 
you can see! when the parachute was pulled i was in the middle of swimming in the air, had no idea it was about to happen and it was only then i thought, yes im not going to die - id forgotten about that during the freefall! the parachute bit was cool, looking all over abel tasman national park and the coast, it was such a nice day too - big shocker for new zealand! the whole thing was incredible, such a great feeling, incredible views, i would love to do it again but not for the money! anyone out there whos thinking about it - just do it, its fabulous!!
