Yeah, right up to the point where my blood started to boil, my eyeballs bled out and I burst into flames.

Just wanted to acknowledge an amazing string of hilariousness in everyone's posts. Y'all had me cracking up.

Is there a day where it's not really windy somewhere in the atmosphere in 23 miles?

Didn't we see Chris Pine and the expendable red shirt do this in Star Trek??
Don't tell anyone, but he's actually going to do it in front of a green screen in a warehouse in Burbank.

At this point, it's just anticlimactic. If you're going to be the Sheck Exley of skydiving, then go for it.
