Last night my friend Shane treated me to a surprise early birthday outing. I was told to wear comfortable clothes and sneakers, and that was about it. Our first stop turned out to be Go Kart racing. We got in two 10-minute races and it was a total blast. I did pretty well on our first run and got a little cocky going into the second one, which was on a harder track. Got my ass handed to me by Shane that time. :-)
After a quick dinner we headed on to our next stop ....
indoor skydiving! Shane had been telling about this for a while, and I'd seen some videos online, but nothing can really describe the adrenaline rush this gives you. It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend it to anyone. You get all of the rush of jumping out of an airplane without the risk. I did four 2-minute flying sessions, which is the equivalent of a dozen or more skydiving free falls.
Watch the video through to the end and you'll see the instructor get in the tunnel with me and take me for an insane ride. Also,
here's a video of the instructor putting on a performance of his own at the end of our session.
All in all, an awesome evening and a great way to celebrate me turning old!
