Still said he will never forget going out of the aeroplane and falling through the air, but it was all over so quickly.
To mark the skydive, staff and neighbours from the Rowleys Center presented him with a personalized "thank you" mug featuring a photo of his jump, so he will be reminded of the experience with every cup of tea.
Still said he never imagined he would be doing anything like this at 91, but he enjoyed it so much that he is now planning more fun adventures.
He said his next challenge will be to ride a 100-mph (160.9 km/h) zip line in Wales.
