Photo of the Day – Floating Above Lake Taupo – Taupo, New Zealand

Since I used myself as a model on Thursday, it is only fair that I let Will debut his modeling skills today. In this picture Will finds himself several thousand feet above the beautiful Lake Taupo on the north island of New Zealand. I was floating down out of the sky somewhere next to him outside of the frame of this shot.

Words can not describe the extreme rush that you get when you jump out of a plane. If you haven’t done it yet – seriously you have to do it. What is holding you back?

Safety? Your odds of dying are in the 1 in 100,000 range. You are far more likely to die in a car accident this year than from the amazing lifetime experience of skydiving once.

Fear of Heights? I am terrified of heights – ask Will. Skydiving is just not that scary and I’m not saying that to be macho. Flying up in the plane is not a big deal at all since most of us have flown many times before. And jumping out isn’t scary either. In fact you don’t really jump out, you are gently pushed out by the tandem guide attached to you.

Go Go Go! I promise you will not regret it.
