Building Antenna Span Earth

If you're not living on the edge.... You're taking up too much space!!!

 

As soon as I make my first jump I'll have the pictures up here. With my luck the film won't come out though. I may make a bridge jump off of Twin Falls in August, otherwise it will have to wait until next Spring. I want to make sure my canopy skills are great before I jump anything with a tougher landing area. The truth is I have a slight fear of heights (as many skydivers do), but with a rig on my back I'll be willing to jump. It's that fear of falling that is going to make this such an incredible rush! I think that an antenna jump will definitely be the scariest, just because they're such a pain to climb and exit off of. From what I hear, they're one of the most fun though.
