Skydive experience

Hey Prashant, Thanks for posting my video on K-TV.
Guys, It was one of the most mindblowing experiences i have ever had.. I did Skydiving at Hollister, CA (some 70 miles south of San Jose).
It starts with they show you a video of Skydiving and they teach you the various postures you need to maintain while jumping out of the plane and how to land…
They take you in a Cessna to around 10000 ft above the sky which takes around 15 minutes.. I tell ya, the wait in the plane is bad coz you just want to jump as soon as possible.. The plane doors open when you reach that height and a heavy gush of air gets you, that’s when thoda fatega… I was scared.. I didn’t want to jump…He escorts you to the plane door and he adjusts himself with keeping one of his legs outside the plane and commands you to do so too… I looked down and 10000 ft down, i could see land but my entire life flashbacked in a second thinking agar parachute nahi khulega to?? .. but bhagwan ka naam leke kud gaya… Once in air, it was just an awesome feeling.. flying like a bird… After around 30-40 seconds of freefall, the person tied behind you opens the parachute and you land in after flying for 4 minutes or so.
The entire Skydiving cost 229(159+70) with the videography.
KV-ites out there, do it… Once in a lifetime offer.
Here is the video

  1. Great job Paras. The video looks great. I think I probably wont be able to do something like this. Even at the top of high-rises or skyscrapers I dont feel like looking down. Its not exactly a fear of heights (and pushed enough I may skydive also), but I just am not comfortable with heights 🙂

  2. Awesome Paras. Tusee To Great Ho….Tusee To Top Ho…Tusse To KV ki Hope ho…

  3. Tussee purush nahi

    ……………
    MahaPurush ho 🙂

    Bacchu, abhi mazay kar le. Aakash mein uud le. Shaadi ke baad sab “par” (wings) kaat diye jaayengay….

  4. All the KV wives “Prashant ko dho dalo”……..

  5. Amisha….Please call all the KV guys too when “Prashant ki dulai ho hari hai”…

    Anyway what detergent will you use….Surf?? Nirma?? Tata ka 501 bar ??

    On second thoughts, Prashant is a wise man, he *always* gives true advice………as they say in Marathi….”Anubha vache Bol…”
