iFLY

IFLY is the experience of skydiving without jumping from a plane & using a chute. Ben, Whit and I tried it out. Basically, you fall into 160mph wind(coming from underneath) and spread your hands and legs just so(with chin up) and you get the feeling of flying through the air. Since it was our first time we had a trainer in the fly zone with us to make sure we were holding the right position. Once we kind of got used to flying then the trainer would spin us up and down in the air. It was a wild experience! Makes me want to try real skydiving! We watched our video and we laughed a lot with how funny we looked(and the times we'd hit into the wall). I had a bit of a headache after with all the wind pressure going up my nose! And you couldn't open your mouth too much or slobber would come dribbling out! It's definitely worth trying out!

  1. That was really fun, Marcia. I definitely had some drooling happening... but it was way worth it. Ben's editing out the boring people from our video and we'll get you a copy!
