The Ranch

Wild and crazy thing #1 = Jumping out of a plane at 120 mph

Skydiving at The Ranch in Gardiner, NY was an unbelievable experience. We jumped at 13,500 feet from a tiny plane to the Earth below us. If you like these pictures, we also have videos!





Getting ready for the jump...




Jay was a little nervous.




Yes, that's me upside-down.




Your first jump is always tandem, meaning there is a guy strapped to your back that you are trusting with your life.




We each had a freefall videographer jump out of the plane with us to take still pictures and video of our entire jump. These people are crazy!



I'm flying!













Thumbs up!




So happy to be on the ground!

  • Take it from someone who has seen the videos---It's a long way down!!! Liz and Jay had a great time jumping, but I think it is time for a new hobby. Something a bit safer I hope.
