Indoor skydiving

Indoor skydiving for the first time

My 18th birthday was on January 6th, so my mom surprised me with an early birthday present by taking me indoor skydiving for the first time on New Year's day which was fun. Normally everybody gets two one minute sessions in the tunnel, but I got a one two minute session. I had two instructors in the tunnel with me because the wind was so strong that I kept flipping over. Everybody that was watching me was clapping and cheering for me because I had a physical disability and I was really enjoying indoor skydiving for the first time. When I finished, somebody came over to me and said that she was so inspired by me that she would bring her son after seeing how much fun I had.
