1st Jan - Jump with JSG

**justsomeguy** · 26th December 2006, 11:32

Hiya,

If you guys have nothing better to do on new years - 1st Jan - do you want to join me??

I'll be jumping out of a plane at 16,000 ft. (with a parachute - yeah sorry to dissappoint some) on the afternoon of Sunday the 1st from Mercer, Auckland.

It will cost $550 - a bit less if you don't want pictures or video.

Oh yeah, I have dibs on being the 1st jumper.

If interested PM me ASAP so I can book us in as a group.

JSG

$550 is a bit much...

My 1st Jump cost me $140ish including training..

Then the rest were $50 each jump using there Gear!!!

Who did you jump with?

From all the places on the net I could find the price seems reasonable.

Matamata company...

$140 was for 6hours training...And the 1st Jump at 3k feet (Static line)

$40 using there Gear 2nd Jump 3k..(Static)

$30 using there Gear 3rd Jump 4k..(Static)

All in Same day...

I realize the one your looking at is Free fall...

But after 5 Static Jumps you can do free fall by your self at 7k..

Im still concern about my weight??

You could come and Cook me a Curry...Then maybe I would be light enough......

Sounds like a Tandem jump, hence the price (and the video etc)

Doubt they would let ya go from 16,000 on your first time solo

I had the same problem, was looking at a tandem jump down in queenstown on holiday one year, but apparently the guy on the back (the instructor) needs to be taller than you, well I'm 6'5"ish and about 125kgs so was too big

same goes for bungy jumping and that... but then I'm a scaredy cat anyways...
