We hung out together (literally) on a recent Sunday, visiting an indoor skydive attraction called SkyVenture in Nashua, NH.
We weren’t sure what to expect, and might have been a little nervous, but once we were airborne, it was SO COOL!!!
We walked into a glass enclosed chamber with massive fans below an open grate in the floor,blowing wind up so fast and strong you can experience the freedom of flight. There’s no falling sensation – you just float above the trampoline floor with ease after a few instructions.
We entered the chamber two times each (always solo). On the second visit, the instructor took us up higher into the vertical chamber. We went up and down several times… what a blast!
I’ve always thought about skydiving… it’s been on my adventure bucket list. This is a great way to see if you like it, a little bit of high adventure skydiving without having to pack a parachute, pull a ripcord, or jump out of an airplane at 10,000 feet.
The experience is amazingly realistic and many skydiving teams around the world train in SkyVenture wind tunnels.
Neither one of us wanted it to end; like Tom Petty said (in his famous song)
“coming down is indeed the hardest thing.”
