Though I must argue about conquering a fear of heights. I did a jump a few years back (solo on a static line). I was terrified and still vow to never do it again. That said I'm very glad that I did do it. Life is far too short to pass up an opportunity to experience something like that... try everything once. “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you!” hehehe

Yea sky diving goes by pretty fast. If you liked the floating down part after the free fall, then you should try the paragliding over at the point of the mountain. You get to paraglide around for about an hour for about the same price as skydiving. You can also paraglide all the way from Salt Lake to Point of the mountain along the mountain ridge. I tried it a couple years ago. I just floated around point of the mountain, but it was pretty fun. Congratulations on being alive still Ryan!! Yea sky diving goes by pretty fast.

I told you it wouldn't be scary! :) Glad you enjoyed it and wish I could have been there with you. I was thinking about doing it every year on my birthday just to keep it real. :) Love you BFF!

I laugh because everytime Blair would go out for a flight (he's a helicopter pilot) he would say the exact thing to calm me down......"Jess, Im more likely to get killed in a car accident on my way to work then I am during this flight". Its true though, still scary for some reason. Anyway, cudos to you and everyone else for setting the goal and making it reality!!! I'll be looking forward to seeing more pics!!
