Bi Plane Inverted Skydive Exit

Buy video

This is a HUGE passion for me and I put this video together of 3 different views of one of my FAVORITE skydives EVER so that you can share the experience with me! Easter Sunday 2018 I was lucky enough to jump out of a bi plane, a Naval Aircraft Factory N3N to be exact. This jump took place at Skydive Perris, in Perris Ca. The plane owner is from Northern California, AdventureFlight.net and they flew down to Skydive Perris Easter weekend for a boogie called "Sisters in Skydiving" Where women empower women to share their skydive passion and to donate time to help each other get better by organizing group jumps!

A little about the jump: It is so scary! Mostly the fear comes from the unknown. I was dropped at a very low altitude of 4,500ft when I normally jump from 13K ft, will I be able to hang on, will I know when to do what and will I do it right? Will I have enough time to track away, etc etc... The entire plane ride up I was talking to myself to breathe and be calm!! As I also tried to enjoy the fun ride up in this wonderful aircraft. At around 4500ft the pilot shook the wings and that was the signal to stand up and hold on, dipped the plane and then rose it back up, this gave us about 1.5-2 G forces!! Next, the pilot inverted the aircraft, and since he had maneuvered the aircraft the way he did it caused us to have zero gravity, instead of being whipped out of the aircraft like I expected, I became COMPLETELY WEIGHTLESS! It was zero gravity, I FLOATED out of my seat and became light as a feather. Such an amazing feeling. You can only be upsidedown for 2 seconds becasue the airplane engine doesnt work upside down and the plane becomes a brick and starts to fall towards the earth. So, whoops back to reality and time to give a rock on hand signal holding on with one hand and let go. I had decided I would back track to capture the plane as it flew away... then flipped over to stabilize and checked my altimeter... I was still at 3.9K ft.. plenty of time to pitch my PC (Pilot Chute), make sure my canopy was good to land and head back to the landing area! When I was under canopy I was a little nauseous, couldn't decide if it was from the adrenaline, excitement, or the whiskey from the night before. I was on a high for the next several hours excited for my friends who were up next. I will forever re watch and re live this amazing experience.

Video content is an essential part of a brand’s marketing strategy, and while stock footage has been a reliable go-to in the past, forward-thinking companies are looking to user-generated content for their video needs.
