Skydive Abel Tasman

YOLO! When mom called Jezza at Making Trax she asked if it was possible for me to skydive. My biggest dream. This is where everything started. Jezza told mom yes and she can do a lot more too. So to end with this was epic. Originally I was supposed to go with a friend of Jezza’s but his plane had some repairs needed. Jezza never gave up. He quickly regrouped and got me set up at Abel Tasman Skydive at Motueka Airport. Jezza pulled out all the stops. The only downside was we had to fly there so Jezza couln’t go with us.

We flew out of Christchurch Airport to Nelson. Nelson is at the north end of the south island.

At the Motueka Airport Abel Tasman picked us up and then the adventure began. First we watched a video of what to expect and then we suited up!

I brought Jezza’s special adapted harness with me so I could land safely. It will keep my feet up when it is time to land. Chek it out!

So guess who is going with me? Papa! lol 🙂 Kevin was my tandem instructor. He is really nice!Image

So up we went and out we jumped! Weeeee, Papa is red and I am black. This was the best day of my life! when I landed all of my emotions overfilled and came spilling out. I called Jezza, T and Amy to share my excitement and accomplishment! Jezza gave me the most powerful week of my life. Because of Making Trax I know anything is possible and I just can’t believe everything I just did!
