ouch its kinda expensive, i suppose its about right considering, aeroplane fuel, the pilot, and the skydiving instructor!

Thanks !

its amazing and worth all the money, its better than 50 bungee jumps (and lasts longer too)

Totally agree. The freefall is incredible :eek:
The instructor said "it's the best thing you can do with your clothes on".

He's right

the closest you'll ever get to actually flying . well worth it

If you do the charity jump from 3000ft it doesn't cost near as much to go again on your own cause you will have recieved 6+ hours of training before hand.
no freefall though because you jump on your own and the parachute is pulled as soon as you leave the plane

however if you go for the 10000ft tandom you get the 50 second freefall but not that big of a discount if you want to go again as you only recieved minimal (30 mins or less) training because of the instuctor stapped to you

nah, the jumps not bad, its the climbing out onto the wing strut and dangling while you wait for the ok from your jump master that gives you the butterflies

I did a jump last October, we were waiting the whole day for the jump. We arrived there at 8am, lovely day but windy. We had 3 attempts to jump, the first two cancelled at the last minute (we were in the plane at 4000feet when it was called off). We finally did the jump at 4pm, its very mentally draining aswell waiting that long

There's nothing like it, putting your legs out of the plane, feeling the cold wind, looking down at the ground, the plane moving up and down and then BANG, your away, your stomach is up at your throat, you cant shout or scream as the feeling of acceleration overwhelms you....... ah its so incredible. And then 30seconds later the parachute opens up and you get a violent jerk of gforce, after that its plane sailing to the ground. I hit the ground hard though on my first jump, I remember landing in a field about half a km away from the landing zone. I remember looking up after hitting the ground and seeing a cow looking down at me and mooooing .... funny now that I think back
