两年前的某天，在墨西哥的Cabo San Lucas，一队“空中飞人”参与者一路“跋山涉水”，走了很久的山路，终于气喘吁吁地来到山腰的起跳站。站在起跳站往下一看，底下全是大石头，不由心生胆怯，但既然已经来到了，我不想临阵退缩。
根据领队的指示，我身体要向前倾，然后把身体自然往下掉。但是人的本能会让自己身体往后倾，我来回挣扎了好几下，最后鼓足勇气，像其他队员那样大叫一声，让自己的身体往下掉。原来准备跳下去的那一刻才是最可怕的，一旦跳下去后，我就恨不得多荡一会儿，感觉耳边微风呼呼，像鸟儿一般的自由自在。
可惜在空中荡来荡去一分钟都不到，我就被缓缓着地了，快乐的一刻总是令人觉得那么短暂！有的人跳了两次，我因为害怕，排在后面，就没有机会再跳一次了。跳完后的感觉特别好，让我感到很自豪，觉得又一次战胜了自己，并觉得自己有潜力对付人生中的更多挑战。
空中飞人结束后，我们来到ATV越野车停车站，每人拿到一条四方巾，用来围住口鼻挡风沙。然后大家把越野车开得飞快，一路风尘仆仆地开去吃饭地点，下车后，我们从头到脚都盖着厚厚的尘土。饭前，有人拿着个强力吹风机把我们一个个身上的泥土都吹干净了，才开始吃饭。吃完饭我们就结束了筋疲力竭的一天，一辆旅游大巴来接我们返回各自的酒店。
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 这是我正在往下跳
