…was a terrible movie. But indoor skydiving is fun. I’m not quite there yet with the outdoor variety — too much to live for, have a wife and kid, all that. So last week I went with my team from work to iFly over in Union City as part of a team-building offsite. I was pretty excited about it but turned out to be a little disappointing initially. The windtunnel’s really small, they don’t let you do anything cool other than hover for the most part, and the most critical piece: there’s no freefall. But it was still cool to try. Couldn’t really say I was excited about the price, though – $70 for 4 minutes of fun is pretty steep, although they say that it’s the equivalent of 4 actual jumps from a plane. Although jumping from a plane does have the death-defying thrill aspect to it.

However, I’d already gotten some passes for Huong and myself for her birthday which we’d never redeemed, so I took her a couple of days later to try it out. Plus there’s nothing sexier than a lady in a jumpsuit. I have to say the 2nd time around it’s a lot more fun since the instructor let me pretty much fly around inside the tunnel without any assistance. I wasn’t doing barrel rolls or anything, but it got me thinking I might try it out again…Huong thought it was fun to try, but wasn’t really all that excited about going again – once was enough. But if anybody else out there’s interested in giving it a go, I might be convinced to take another trip…
