Skydiving

Went Skydiving today... 14,000ft @ Nagambie (on the was to Shepp)

Wasn't too bad - nowhere near the rush i was expecting... So thinking about doing the solo course soonish.

ANYWAY, anyone interested in going up in the next couple of months??? Could organise a few of us to head up on a Sat etc etc.

I'll probably go another tandem again just to get a better feel for it now i know whats going on etc etc.

Overall it was great fun, such a weird sensation...

Nothing better then jumping out of a plane and falling at 200km/h. Interested.

[bluejeans]

ive driven past the signs which say skydiving when i drive to shepparton - always considered it - bit too scared though lol

grats on the jump! if i ever work up the balls to do it lol ill send you a message

Trust me when you see other parachuting down while your waiting it really makes you want to go. And seeing that no one plowed into the ground it also a plus lol. Mind you 14000 ft is above the clouds so you fall through them when you out there and already start falling any fear you have dissapears. It I'd an awesome sensation even though it really hurts your cheeks lol

ya i've jumped from 14k over Newcastle. great fun.

one of the guys at work has done the first part of the solo course at bridgewater.

goto love the 'warning' sign on the back of the pack....

Hey guys, just letting you know I'm getting my license this year so I can finally get my hands on a wingsuit and base jump gear, let me know if you want in it's about 2.5g's and takes a bout a week

We went for my birthday last month at Mission Beach north of Townsville QLD. Ment to be the best jump site in Aus because you can see the entire reef and coastline.

Ash if it wasn't the rush you were expecting you must have balls of steel! I thought it was insane!

I did the mission beach jump too, 14,000ft. Did it on a clear day so could see the whole ocean and beach. Was awesome.

The day before I jumped i was watching others skydive. One of the jumpers parachute didnt deploy and roman candled. He had to deploy the 2nd parachute which is much smaller and they both landed with a thud on the beach haha

Didnt stop me from going on my jump the next day haha

[PM-R33]

Yeah our view was awesome at 14,000ft aswell. I can't believe you still jumped after that, no way in hell i would have lol.

Ye my best mate did a jump from there or maybe Rainbow... somewhere up that north way... view was tops.

Seriously not the rush i was expecting at all. In the plane on the way up i wasn't even getting jittery about it all which was strange lol.

I was like "oh f**k" for about the first 2 seconds as we were spinning around but after that it was all sweet

[bozodos]

probably cause you were hugging the instructor for dear life

ahh i'll get around to doing it one day, you can do a jump by yourself first go can't you?

[R31Nismoid]

Yep, you can do it alone first go.

just gotta do the course they provide first. i think its a two day thing

[blind_elk]

Why on earth would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane, with nothing more than a giant handkerchief to prevent them hitting the ground hard?
