- nkoren 9y agoI did my ~30th jump with a guy who was approaching 20,000 jumps. He seemed to get just as high off of it as I did. Over time, the high changes -- from a feeling of "holy shit I'm alive!" to a much more sublime appreciation of the sensation of freedom while in freefall. You're not just dropping like a stone: every surface of your body becomes an aerodynamic control surface, and you feel like you can do anything (except, er, go up). That feeling of freedom never seems to diminish.
