Skydive!!

Post by Watty »

Well chaps! Did the skydive today 8O omfg what an absolute adrenaline rush. Still buzzing now :crazy: . Scary waiting around to get geared up etc but that turned to apprehension once in the plane and climbing, then when they opened that side door and hung me out before we jumped I've never experienced anything like it. Highly recommended and I'm scared of heights :lol:

well done, however iam sure you are not the only bloke on here to be strapped to a man, and had a different jump :lol: .

I haven't done one since 1999 but i used to love doing them. i did static line then free fall. Its such a buzz. Ive also done 2 HALO Jumps
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Knew you would enjoy it. TBH I think anyone that rides a motorcycle and loves a bit of speed and wind in their hair would love it. It's all over a little too quick though.

Thanks lads :D . Was such a confidence boost ( as I don't have any ) for myself, just wanted to prove to myself I could do it :thumbup: One more ticked off the bucket list and will definitely be doing another, but from the max 15,000 ft next time 8O

Around 15/20 seconds mate. The initial disorientation, rush and wind noise is indescribable :thumbup:

Well done that man, apparently it is supposed to be one of the most safe things to do where as riding a motorbike is apparently on of the least safe.
All about perceived risk against actual risk. Having said that I take my hat of to you as I do not think I could do it.
