A nice way to spend a Monday...

[Shug]

Would really love to give a tandem jump a try, just the once

, but only if it was strapped to the front of a lass with tits like spacehoppers....

Extra safety feature?

Only if she's strapped on in front of you surely??

Well, VXJON has just booked a tandem - good lad Hopefully I'll get to jump out with him

[GregR]

I'll be doing this soon, probably just a few hop n pops as part of conquering the fear of heights I appear to have developed. Its an odd thing, only tends to happen when I'm about 8/10s up a mountain clinging on for dear life with no protection up 'off piste' routes.

Starting to get a little nervous about this now


Hint for anyone wanting to jump - Stay away from youtube

Don't whatever you do book a static line course. Been there, done that, trust me it is a total waste of time. AFF is the only way, or if you don't want to commit to full AFF, IFF is a good idea (tandem + AFF level 1).

No need to get nervous this weekend I'm afraid. The forecast for Sunday is terrible. Let me know when you reschedule. If the weather is ok next weekend I'll be down at Black Knights

Good call


Forecast for Sat looks better, so I've rebooked

[ryallm]

Met for Sat is better but still a bit marginal I reckon. I'll decide tomorrow evening if it is worth going - its a bit of a trek if you don't get to jump.

what camera was used?

i would love to do this....

[ryallm]

No idea on the camera - some kind of high def SLR. They were taken by one of the professional camera flyers at the dropzone. SLR mounted on top of the helmet operated by a bite switch, and a a video cam on the side for debriefing footage.

Don't be a ghey my old dear did it at 60

Although the guy with the paper shop round the corner's shute failed to inflate and his reserve got caught in it and he plunged to the ground.

He is ok well a couple of scrapes and bruises* etc he even had an "I am still alive party" a year later.

* what I really mean is smashed almost every bone in his body.
