SKY DIVING :)

Here are the Pics for the SKY DIVING that I just went on for my 21st!!



This is the country side in which the Sky jump facilities where held, nice and farmy!

















The Next two shots are of my flatemate/best friend, his Dad and myself on the bench before the jump, we had just been given our Jump suits and it was all good. We then got a little bored so decided to do a 'Jig' though my jig looks like gangster rap or ape dancing, made me look like a retard thats for sure!!!!
















We both then got suited up with Harnesses and proceeded to walk to the Plane. This is me with my Jump master Lazlo(spelt it wrong before). He looks a little crazy because he was, it was good fun!!




















This very Top Gun shot of us walking to the plane is one of the best I think!! The plane was a small cessna type, fit all four plus pilot, possibly could have taken another at a push.

















This is the little plane taking off, it was actually really quick it wasn't long before we were miles in the air!
















This is after I've allready had the fantastic Free fall expierence and pulled the chute in the clouds, we had some good fun coming back to the LZ though. Spins and stalls were great.















After the fairly soft landing I was just over the moon, it was a fantastic expierence to have had, and what a privilage to do so!

  • Awesome photos documenting your grand adventure! Glad the marshmallow landing worked out.

    Wonder if landing people hit cows or fences sometimes...? Some folks aren't as co-ordinated as you, ya know. (but I am...)
    Looks like a single-engine cessina, eh?

    Well, at least the silly lookin suits weren't neon pink! Looks like much fun! Would make a good commercial...

  • Snag - Thanks they are great, reminds me of the feeling I had before during and after the Jump!
    No there is no Cow tipping here!! Even if its by parachute :) The instructors have done like 15 years of this sort of thing so if they made you hit a cow then they shouldn't be guiding you to the ground. Funny though, except not for the cow!!

    Jags - I'm sure you could do it hey, all you gotta do is Psyche yourself for the initial drop out of the door the rest is such a good feeling, yeah truely amazing! Cheers Jags, man can't get over your profile pic its great:)


    morgs - :) I so can imagine a two guys tandem hitting a cow, and then this muted Mooooooo from the cow and two unconscious guys or at least the guy on the front would be unconcious!!! LOL!!
