#106- Skydiving in Tandem

Eleanor Roosevelt had some real talk: “Do one gnarly thing that freaks you out every day.” Now, ain't nobody got time to face their fears daily, but her vibe is legit. Tandem skydiving’s the mellowest way to get your feet wet in the skydiving game. It’s a wild ride from pre-jump instructions, cracking jokes, slamming ice-cold brews before hopping on the bird, that door closing, plane’s climbing, more laughs, some back pats, door pops open, adrenaline shooting up your spine, feet hanging loose, the leap, heart pounding in your throat, smooth sailing, and the added buzz of a new summer gig.

And when you freefall from 13,000 feet, you’ll be itching to sign up for a solo jump course, diving off planes, mountains, and skyscrapers, and maybe even scoring a wingsuit to rock that Red Bull style. Eleanor Roosevelt knew what’s up.
