Just to start out, I just want to thank you, Red Bull!  This has seriously been one of the best experiences of my life.  Having experienced this, I was introduced to lifestyles I could have never even imagined!  I mean, skydiving was awesome, let alone five dives, and then the B.A.S.E. jumping two days later.  These past few days have given me a new passion, which is leading me to sell my R6 so that I can buy skydiving equipment and get my license.  Also, I wanted to thank Mike from Red Bull and his crew.  Good luck to all the future Red Bull First Persons.  I hope your experience will be as good as mine!

Andrew was greeted today by Red Bull Air Force member and world record holding base jumper, Miles Dasher. Miles trained Andrew for about 45 mins. Next step was over the railing of the bridge for Andrew's first base jump. He stuck it perfectly and was glowing when he landed. Let us remind you, Andrew had never even skydived before 2 days ago.

More to come soon

Right now, I'm sitting in the lobby at a Hampton Inn.  The Red Bull guys just walked outside to prepare for whatever surprise is coming.  As always, I have no clue what I will be doing or where I will be going.  Anyway, Idaho is an awesome place!  I got some extra time last night and I left the hotel for a little run and I accidentally stumbled upon a huge canyon, which I had no clue even existed!  Again, I don't what I will be doing but I did see some signs for base jumping on the way in.  But then again I know white water rafting and rally car racing is popular in Idaho as well.  I'm in Twin Falls so my guess is white water rafting.  My next update on here will let all you guys know!
Thanks

So we just arrived in Twin Falls, Idaho.  Andrew is sound asleep and set to wake up at 7 AM for his final day's adventure.  I know Andrew has been filling you in on his updates here but in the 8 hours at the jump site, Andrew went from never skydiving before to completing a 100% solo, free-fall jump, not to mention sticking full flips and other advanced air maneuvers.  He never even did a tandem jump.....pretty impressive.  Here's a link to a map of the location for tomorrow's First Person shoot, Andrew's final day:

More to come tomorrow....

I'm on my way to the next destination, Idaho.  Just like everything else, I have no clue what I will be doing which increases the excitement a bit more.  Yesterday, I ended up getting five dives in and if I'm not mistaken, there will soon be pictures up of me jumping out, free falling, pulling the chute and even flipping. I'll keep you guys updated as more stuff happens!

I just got done jumping solo out of a plane for my first time ever!  Without question, that was one of the best experiences of my life. It probably took 2.5 hours of training total and then we were on our way.  I got to free fall from 13,000 ft.  with two Red Bull skydivers and then I pulled my chute at 5,500 ft.  Hands down, it was one of the coolest experiences of my life.  On top of all that, I'm getting ready to dive again!  I'll update again when I'm done.  Hope everyone in the east is doing well.....

I said it was going to get more interesting and it definitely has.  I'm presently in the middle of training to go skydiving for my first time. The best part is, I get to free fall solo (not hooked up to instructor) for my first jump.  I've been training for about two hours and I'm going to be diving within the hour.  I'm pumped!  I'll get back at you guys after the jump.....

Well....I arrived at my first destination.  Red Bull picked me up outside the airport and we were immediately on our way to the hotel/casino.  So far it has been awesome; valet parking, room service (Prime Rib), and the excitement that I have no clue what I got myself into.  I just want to say thanks to everyone for giving me this great opportunity.  The real adventure begins tomorrow at 8:30! I'll update this blog again when I'm sure I'll have something more interesting to talk about!!!!
