here's to you evil knievel

Props again to Ben for putting his life on the line for his students. Here are the views over Temecula Valley High from 13,000 ft. (jump) and 5,000 ft. (parachute)!! Question for Ben: what does the free fall feel like (rollercoaster??) and were you singing Tom Petty the whole time down?

13,000 ft.


5,000 ft.

Wes- That is a pretty accurate view..13,000 feet is pretty high. The freefall feels like you have stuck your head out of the window on the freeway, yet going 120-170mph. It is loud, it lasted about 45 seconds to a minute, but was an amazing feeling! It was so fun! Suprisingly, it doesn't feel like a rollercoaster, it almost feels like you are going up...weird. As soon as I get the video or pictures, I will post them!

I think Cypress Hill put it best....
"Insane in the Membrane"

Or Chris Farley on SNL...."THAT IS AWESOME!"

Benny, you inspire us all to greater heights!

I passed it on to our ASB and I've challenged him to think BIGGER about fundraising..


The sky's the limit man! Ok...enough.


Way to go B!

Having a first hand discussion with our parachutist, I am still awed that #76 did it. I think I will add it to my bucket.

I won't be adding this to my bucket Ben, but GOOD FOR YOU! You are brave!
