Yee haaaa
I really enjoyed the parachute jumps I did a few years agoOriginally Posted by Oakie
but you couldn't get me to do a bungy jump
Yeah, I know it probably sounds odd, but there you go.
The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

How would one go about going skydiving? What's the cost? I hate hights so much, but I just can't stop it! It's an addiction. So I think that skydiving would be up my tree!
Forum whore
I checked it out once it was something like $200! For a tandem jump - I shudder to think how much it cost to get your solo jump ticket.
I still want it though...

No sense in stepping off a perfectly good bridge, or jumping out of a plane for that matter. You have guts, well done.
Homer you shot the zombie Flanders !

Haven't done the bungy as they were still setting it up when I did the bridge walk, which is something I'd recommend for all to do at least once (ask for it as a birthday pressie).

Still Ridin'
Likewise. I did the "Rocket Bungy at Tauranga - start in a ball-shaped cage on the ground and get launched up at around 5 gees, that was fun. I'm terrified of heights so you can well imagine the adrenalin high I was on...
And I agree with Gremiln - the price is the off-putting bit. I can overcome my fear of heights enough to try it, 'tis overcoming the Scottish heritage and paying for it that I find hard...

Tandem varies around $250- less if you get a group together!
Solo jumps. Once you have your licence and own gear they cost $30. Getting your licence requires 25 jumps, and the AFF method of training is best, as you learn more + faster. Cost varies. Stage 1 = $350 (includes ground course and first jump with 2 jumpmasters holding on to you in freefall). Stages 2-3 -$250- (still with 2 jumpmasters with you - doing different stuff in freefall). Stages 4-8 $200 (I think) 1 jumpmaster jumps. Stage 9 is a "hop & pop" 3000ft jump out the door and open immediately. $50-.
After stage 6 you can start doing jumps by yourself if you satisfy an instructor that you are safe to be let loose!
The only sport in which you have to save your life, every time you participate!!!
Give it a go! Heaps of fun and really great people at dz's as well.
