Skydiving rush!

[gatch]

If it wasnt for the thin-ness of my wallet I would be up there ASAP, as high as I could, and free-fall for as long as I could.

I watched a vid on smoo-tube about the wing-suit flying, the dude reckons most countries recommend 500 dives before you are allowed a suit..

That, fellow KB nerds, would be alll kinds of bad ass.

OOooooOOoo!! The only options I was given were a tandem jump or static line. Where do I go to try out this accellerated free fall training? I'm signing up for that!

Come do it out at Parakai - BlueSkies - with me! (I just have to figure out how to afford it without selling the SV first)

[Usarka]

Cant wait to do a AFF jump cos i think that'l be a bigger rush..

It is nothing short of awesomenessly good.

Your first completely solo jump is one of those rare occasions that you'll remember vividly the rest of your life.

[Little Miss Trouble]

It could be said that I have done it more than once...

hehe just once or twice though aye?

[Swoop]

hehe just once or twice though aye?

Yeah.
You don't want to get silly about things.

Stamp collecting. Now there's a rush.

See you soon.

Oh how times have changed! Love the user name by the way and are you still jumping Swoop? I still miss it sometimes!

[Swoop]

Oh how times have changed!

Yes. Yes, they have...

[Nagash]

Where are you jumping from?

I'm doing the Blue Skies jump, tandem with a camera crew.

Folks have said they're just gonna get me a voucher of some sort so the date is up to me.

[McWild]

Wow thank you for this thread.
I have my 18th coming up in April... and I think I know what I'm asking for now!

They're good guys out there, lol btw no one looks good on video in free fall

Even though my one and only jump was a few years ago, I can still close my eyes and vividly remember the rush and exhilaration of those first few seconds of total freefall after jumping out of the plane, something that a bungy or bigswing type activity can never replicate. Something you could get addicted to. The guy that I jumped with had done over 4000 jumps or something crazy like that, what a job!

I'm hoping to (FINALLY) do it on Monday, big birthday celebration?!!??

Must do eet one day. I've dreamed about it for years. I'm not really into "adventure sports", and can't stand roller coasters or other thrill rides, but I'd give skydiving a go.
Was out at Parakai the other day, and there was a guy jumping from 12000 feet - you could hear him yahooing when he was still a VERY long way up.

For anyone that wants to try something that's a buzz, but not so much of an adrenaline rush, try a trial plane flight. $80 for 30 minutes, which counts as your first lesson if you decide to go for your private pilot's licence.

A ppl livence is way to dear,but id also love to get that...
