Hey all,

just wondering if anyone else has done it and can tell us what its like?

it looks in-****ing-sane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS it will be tandom

[steedjo]

sky diving is so fun. just jumping out is the hard part.
yea. have a cracker. if they let you, blackout out of the plain!

[mike_rock]

Best rush you will ever get! I havent found anything (including drugs) that comes close!! :)

[flangin-muddy_1]

haha sweet
what you reckon about sydney skydivers. safe place to go??

oh and also, wahts a blackout?

[#67Skeet]

Blackout is like what travis does in nitro 2, off the cliff, run forwards and do a backflip!

[steedjo]

blackouts are mad! massive rush

[#67Skeet]

Do em off diving bords to start with though lol!

[steedjo]

lol. yea, expierience helps cause u dont wanna get stuck upside down. =/
unless its to water off a bridge or diving board

[#67Skeet]

I started doing half ones and landing in a dive but now i can do a ful one plus into a dive!

[flangin-muddy_1]

oh a superflip, doubt ud be able to do that in a tandom tho...

[steedjo]

nice. i still get caught upside down =/. but thats into a pool off the edge so its kinda hard
and u get kicked out after the 3rd one

[Rat Boy]

you wont get upside down...
sydney skydive is one of the best sites in australia.
i have done a tandom jump before...
it is one of the best experiences in the world... i agree with mike rock: there is no other feeling in the world. not even drugs...

im starting my aff (advanced freefall course (solo liscence)) in the next few months...

Lucky!!!!! You'll like it! 15,000 ft is pretty high!

yer sky diving is defently a must do. when i was in nz i went sky diving from 12,000ft and if is an awsem feelin. for the first second or 2 ya stomach feels wird and all but after that u dont even realise that u are fallin.
i recomend it to every1

[eightball]

blackouts are mad! massive rush
Have you even been skydiving? I doubt a 16 year old has been doing Blackouts out the back of a plane... considering you'd have to be jumping solo for that and I think you'll find an 18 year old age limit on that.

But yeah as mr Mike Rock Daniel said... NOTHING compares to skydiving. I've done some crazy drugs in my time, but skydiving was so much better than everything put together. You won't regret it!

Yeah ive done a jump fomr 14,000ft OMFG!!! A guy that was in the plane with us did his from 6,000 and when they opened the door and the cold wind was just rushing round like mad and i was like oh s*** then he jumped out and all i caould hear was him yell then nothing just rushing air. Once your out and falling (not diving) your stomach goes everywhere, then you get back into control and all you can see is the ground or clouds. When i was looking straight down i couldnt breathe i had to look up straight out to be able to get air in. All you can do is yell its awesome, the biggest rush ive ever had. One thing to make very sure of, check that you dont have a rouge testicle under the strap around your legs cos when the rip cord is pulled theres alot of force in that area. Didnt happen to me but i could just imagine if it did it could turn bad very quickly and ruin your whole experience.

Once the cord is pulled there is sheer silence as your coastin through the air. Its funny that you go from such a mad rush fall to a calm almost peaceful glide in the space of seconds.

Last but not least its time for legs up as you come in for let hope a good landing.

Three things i will suggest

1. 14,000ft or highest you can (think 14thou is the highest without oxygen not sure but is getting up there)

2. Get it video taped.

3. Take a jumper (no pun intended) its bloody cold, not while falling tho other things on your mind.

Just get out and do it you will not be dissapointed.

Cheers,
