    200kmh and no control? Last will and... etc!

    Sometimes you just have to give over controll to someone who knows the ropes aye ! Or where the ropes are at least !

    To my kids.... i leave them to fight over the bikes, to my ex wife ... the dept !

    Skydive Taupo, this weekend ! Not to sure about being buttfucked at 10000 ft but seeing i'll probably be shitting myself, good luck to them !

    Rather do a solo jump, but it aint my call, women aye lol, anything to get ya into a embarrassing position !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Did 13,000ft a year ago...and still buzzing, . and get a video of it if you can. Had to laugh when some other people jumped out on the way up at 10,000 ft and “Todd” hooked me up nice and tight..and said we need to do this just doing this in case they hit the tail on the way out and we need to get out of here in a hurry...
    Enjoy!

    Done about three tandem skydives and each time was was brilliant. Twice above Taupo and once above franz josef.

    Taupo on a clear day is the best place - the lake from above looks stunning.

    You'll enjoy it for sure - it's one hell of a rush.

    I have mastered the art of playing "flip my turn on top", how hard can it be to look for the sun if things go bad

    You mongrel hahaha I love merry go rounds !

    The Tandem Side Spin Phenomenon has now been well documented by Bill Morrissey, of Strong Enterprises. The Instructor Examiner should explain the causes, avoidance, and solutions to this potentially dangerous situation
    If the side spin is allowed to continue, and not abated quickly, the high "G" forces will cause the Tandem Instructor and student to "black out".

    Enjoy the skydive!

    I did it for my 11th birthday (yes, many many years ago and my parents were CRAZY to let me do it at that age). Still remember the incredible feeling after 14 years. Plus it was my first ride in a plane - the old thing was in such bad shape I was quite happy to jump out of it!!
