Might As Well Jump

Skydive Elsinore

You’ve kicked the cigarettes. Gotten yourself down to one glass of wine at dinner. Even your daily sugar fix is a thing of the past. 

Is it any surprise that life has lost some of its zing? 

In these ascetic times, getting your kicks requires going farther afield. Or, rather, higher up. In less than two hours, Skydive Elsinore’s Xtreme Air Sports Skydiving School will have you flying higher than any controlled substance you can get your hands on (if you wanted to, tsk).

Nothing beats jumping off a plane at 13,000 feet — harnessed, of course, to a licensed tandem instructor — and landing in the lovely Elsinore Valley, one of Southern California’s most scenic drop zones. Best of all, the whole ordeal is recorded by your very own personal cameraman and still photographer, thereby adding to the whole I-am-the-star-of-my-own-movie thrill.

Now that’s a high you can come down from.
