Skydiving

BYTEr · 28 May 2009 at 02:36

Did a tandem skydive a few months back, first jumping out of plane experience in an odd leather hat and a rather funky not so well fitting jumpsuit.

Managed a few turns and some tracking and would go again but well have a certain lack of money with driving lessons in the near future.

If I were still jumping I would offer you lot discounted training. Maybe in a few years I'll get back into it and become an instructor again.

Yeah it's been a couple of years now

Just don't have time anymore - but I may well get back into it at some point.

Still know it all, and keep close to the sport - just don't physically do it!

i went with a friend for my 18th, such a rush and you feel invincible for a few days afterwards

hopefully i'll be doing my AFF course during my gap year somewhere a bit cheaper than the UK!

It good at Peterlee? That's the one I was looking at going to, since it's teh closest to me, as far as I know.

The most dangerous thing about skydiving is driving/riding home after half a dozen+ jumps! You're buzzing so much it's has a somewhat positive effect on the throttle!

I got from Langar back to uni (Loughborough) in under 40 mins back in a crappy fiat uno 1.1!! Trust me, that's bonkers
