"Skydive; pure joy! YOLO! For the first 5 seconds I had a feeling which I never felt before, I can’t describe it. To say, it is like driving your car over a small hill, that feeling times million! It is euphoria! You don’t realize what is happening... my instructor Aaron was so cool! you’re falling down as a rock with the speed of 200 kilometers per hour, the best adrenaline rush I had in my life so far. Thank you Skydive Auckland and Aaron!"
