[Squeak the Rat]

Why aint ya doing it??????

Skydiving is the ultimate rush and the guys at Mercer were pretty good last time I was out there.


FFS... is that it? 90Kgs and no sky dive? Yet another thing the weasel can't do :(

You can skydive if you're over 90kg, just not tandem. Do an accelerated freefall course, jumping out of a plane into freefall by yourself for the first time is something you don't forget in a hurry :D

[Swoop]

Where has this "magic" 90kg limit come from???

[Squeak the Rat]

The tandem operators place a limit. Some are 100kg so it's worth checking if you're 95Kg and interested in buying the voucher.

Limit at mercer is 100kg.

Limit at mercer is 100kg.

fuck jumping out of a plane lol

[Shadows]

I'm Scared


So was I. Absolutely shit scared. To the point of almost literally shitting myself. In fact, the only reason I jumped was because Mrs went first and I would have rather have died horribly after experiencing a 'chute failure than wussing out and having to ride out the shame of it all.

I will probably never do it again, however, statistically speaking it is probably safer than riding your bike to the airfield.

You only live once, I recommend doing it. Just the once.

[Indiana_Jones]

no way

Far, far safer in fact...

[mynameis]

Boomer you pussy is it sold now? They give you discounts when you go in bigger lots anyway! Lolzz @ $200! And I am sure it's 100 kg at Mercer! Apparently parachutes fail if you're heavier than 100kg pppffftt.

[XP@]

Bah, did a tandem a few years ago...

it was too windy so delays happened.
I went for a ride
It was still too windy
I went for another ride this time took in some gravel
came back it was not too windy, the flight before mine went up.
They jumped
The plane coasted down out of fuel, we found the fuel cap just off the run way.
Plane filled up and we went up
Jumped out of plane
It was awsome, i could see all the roads i had ridden, I would have said just like google earth but that was probably just a flow diagram in a programmers eye at that time.
Landed.
Got back on bike and went for some real kicks!

So instead of forking out heaps of $'s on a real jump do this:

1. Download google earth.
2. Attach hairdryer to your monitor. lube your office chair to make sure the swivel performs perfectly
3. launch google earth and locate your "drop zone" and take a good look at the landing area (you don't want to be landing in an un-downloaded graphic, belive me, it hurts!!!!!)
5. Zoom out to about 50km's.
6. Now you are ready to jump, so get on your chair, mouse in hand and be prepared for the zoom in of your life! Turn on hairdrier to max setting on cold.
7. when you are ready get in position and start scrolling in as fast as you can.
8. Next comes the real fun part, just before you get to 25m you need to prepare to land so kick away your chair and hit the floor!

So, not only is this cheeper than a real parachute jump but you can jump anywhere in the world from the comfort of your own home, and still risk severe injury (if drunk).

no it's not sold.. was thinking about riding down there today and cackin my pants.. we'll see :sick:

[Alice]

Its a buzz, the flight up, alls silent while you contemplate what is about to happen, its a complete scensory overload exiting the plane, quite awesome sitting on the edge waiting to jump, no chance to chicken out when doing a tandem cause the choice is taken away from yu. Go for it... its a pretty cool experience, bloody good scenery up there.
I couldn't stop laughing after landing, probably because its just so good to be back on solid ground.

[dnos]

Wow, it's impressive how many people have done one.
I would totally recommend doing it, incredible experience and all that shit. But yes, pretty scary, as nike would say - just do it.
You will not regret it.

[Dooly]

Fuckin skydiving, last time I did it, broke me leg!
Who put that grapevine right where I wanted to land.

[phantom]

Did a tandem skydive a couple of years ago with a guy who was apparently a NZ rep skydiver. Took off into a fairly cloudy sky that by the time we got to 12000 feet had closed in altogether. "we'll jump anyway " he said. When you are strapped to a guy bloody near twice your size you do what he says. Freefalling through cloud for what seems like ages is the most freeky thing I have ever done and we were still in cloud when he opened the chute. I was bloody glad to see the ground when we eventually came out of the clouds and equally glad to see it was still a long way away. " I think we will miss the drop zone " he says as he couldnt tell where we were in the clouds, so he proceeds to do all sorts of aerobatics ( I get motion sick if I am on a swing !!!!) and landed us right on the target. An absolutely fantastic experience but not sure if I will ever do it again

[boomer]

I must be going mad in my old age.. i was sure this was a For Sale thread not a fuckin reminiscing thread.

[placidfemme]

if I had $200 I'd buy it from ya! But I owe a KB'er some $$ so this week its out.

Sam and i combined only just scrape past 90kg's... it would be a mission to convince her to jump with me (lol you'd understand if your saw the sky bungy thread)

[jrandom]

Sam and i combined only just scrape past 90kg's...

Luxury.

I can only dream of just scraping past 90kgs.

I think you'll find that there are laws that specifically forbid such practices in all states south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

*doesn't get it*

*gets confused easily*

[Hitcher]

*doesn't get it*

The Mason-Dixon line has its origins as a name of the boundary between the "free" and "slave" states of what is now known as the United States of America. Subsequently this term has been used to describe the philosophical differences that divide the conservative southern states from their more liberal cousins. Concepts like homosexual relationships (irrespective of gender) are too much for many red-necked southerners to cope with, and the thought of two lesbians (irrespective of their total combined weight) leaping from aircraft whilst locked together may cause them to have some sort of mental infarction. It is more than certain that some of these states have laws preventing such practices.

I hope this isn't construed as being "off topic"...

your no further off topic than teh rest of the passers by Hitcher, however if i was a Mod i'd have banned all you mother fuckers by now !!!!


Still for sale, i didn't quite manage Mercer.. hit Kawakawa bay instead and got rid of those dreaded chicken strips that Dovers been taking the piss out of. 40PSi on the rear isn't conjusive to looking good, 34psi however is enough to see the edge

Ps.. was that You SpankMe, that i gave the bird to, just down from AMPS ;)

If at first you don't succeed - so much for skydiving.

[Winter]

After a 'near-death' experience im dead keen to jump out of a plane, live life to the fullest and all that!

Is there anywhere you can jump around national park somewhere? Love to have the mountains in the background..

Or do I just have to go to wanaka or somesuch?

[bugjuice]

Taupo has a good skydiving place, not too far from National Park..

As Homer said.. you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

jumping out of a plane is not natural. If i'd have wanted to do that for fun i'd have joined the paras instead of being a sapper

[Usarka]

Yeah digging up landmines is the most natural & sane thing in the world......
