兩年前的某天，在墨西哥的Cabo San Lucas，一隊“空中飛人”參與者一路“跋山涉水”，走了很久的山路，終於氣喘籲籲地來到山腰的起跳站。站在起跳站往下一看，底下全是大石頭，不由心生膽怯，但既然已經來到了，我不想臨陣退縮。
根據領隊的指示，我身體要向前傾，然後把身體自然往下掉。但是人的本能會讓自己身體往後傾，我來回掙紮了好幾下，最後鼓足勇氣，像其他隊員那樣大叫一聲，讓自己的身體往下掉。原來準備跳下去的那一刻才是最可怕的，一旦跳下去後，我就恨不得多蕩一會兒，感覺耳邊微風呼呼，像鳥兒一般的自由自在。
可惜在空中蕩來蕩去一分鍾都不到，我就被緩緩著地了，快樂的一刻總是令人覺得那麽短暫！有的人跳了兩次，我因為害怕，排在後麵，就沒有機會再跳一次了。跳完後的感覺特別好，讓我感到很自豪，覺得又一次戰勝了自己，並覺得自己有潛力對付人生中的更多挑戰。
空中飛人結束後，我們來到ATV越野車停車站，每人拿到一條四方巾，用來圍住口鼻擋風沙。然後大家把越野車開得飛快，一路風塵仆仆地開去吃飯地點，下車後，我們從頭到腳都蓋著厚厚的塵土。飯前，有人拿著個強力吹風機把我們一個個身上的泥土都吹幹淨了，才開始吃飯。吃完飯我們就結束了筋疲力竭的一天，一輛旅遊大巴來接我們返回各自的酒店。
Two years ago, a group of "The Pendulum" (Giant Rope Swing) participants panted at the jump station at the top of the hill after a long hike. There was one giant rope that I needed to hold on to and swing after I jumped down from the middle of the hill. The bottom was full of large stones that made me feel timid. But since I was there, I didn’t want to chicken out. The moment of preparing to jump down was the most frightening moment.
According to the leader's instructions, I should lean forward and drop my body down naturally. But human instinct made me lean backwards. After I struggled back and forth several times, finally I summoned up the courage to let out a loud cry and let my body fall. Once I jumped down, I started to enjoy the swing. I felt the breeze whistling in my ears, I was as free as a bird.
But actually I swung less than a minute, then I was slowly let down. Some people jumped twice, but since I was scared, I was the last one to jump, so I didn't have a chance to jump again. I felt very good after I was unbuckled from the swing. I felt very proud of myself and thought I could conquer more challenges in my life.
After The Pendulum, we went to an ATV station, each person was given a scarf to cover one’s nose and mouth. Then we sped the ATV off to the dining place. We were covered with dust from head to toe. Before dinner, someone took a powerful blower to blow the dust off our clothes. Then we began to eat. We finished our exhausting day with a tour bus to pick us up and head back to each of our hotels.
This is me jumping down 這是我正在往下跳
