MD039 - Skydiving!
As a bit of stress relief post-CES and Macworld, we decided to get a breath of fresh air. To that end, we went and visited our friends at iFLY in Hollywood, who we were told could well and truly blow us away.

That looks like so much fun. I really hope there is a place close to me that offers indoor skydiving and the hair looked perfect afterwards. You should keep it like that all the time Veronica.

Some fan-mail really: Hey, I think your podcasts are excellent. Fun, interesting and cool! I used to watch Geek Brief but I think I am a convert. Keep it Up!
On the Video: Looks awesome fun…. I’ll do a real skydive oneday…

Seems pretty cool, but too bad you don’t get the sensation of the earth rushing up at you! You seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly, so that is encouraging for anyone wanting to try it out.

Awesomeness. While you were flying, were you thinking at all about going to that pretzel place across the way? yum.

Your skydive jump was cool =) I did my first skydive last summer.
I even took some photos when I was jumping (not when I was on the air of course) feel free to check them here: http://www.pbase.com/whig/ (On parachute jump gallery)
Hopefully I will see more this kind of “not so tech stuff” on Maholo Daily in future =)

I went on one of these skydiving machine in back when I was a kid on vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN. They’re really fun.

what a good idea (:
safer and cheaper than flying by a plane etc.
veronica, you were fearless, though I suppose you went there before the breakfast ((:

Awesome video! But did you guys know that there is another ifly place locally located in the SF Bay Area. http://iflysfbay.com/

wow! I totally want to try this!
@james thanks for the local (SF) link - i’m checking it out!

They just built one of these in the Bay Area. I was going to give it a shot but it was really expensive. If anyone in the Bay Area is interested its in Union City.
