    Yep another one here! I've only done one jump a couple of years back but absolutely loved it and cant wait to do another, I posted the link to my video on here recently! Its an expensive thing to do though and I'm not particularly making good money at the moment so unfortunately thats whats kept me from doing it again so far!

    I've done two tandem jumps... Lucky enough to have done the first one 12,000ft over Rotorua (New Zealand) with no cloud cover at all. The view was epic! Apart from the wind, felt like I was floating up there!

    With the first one we went down head first for a few seconds which was an incredible feeling. The second one we bailed out more feet first/flat, so less of a 'rush'.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Welcome!

    Never been skydiving, but who knows. Had an interest a number of years back, but didn't want to sully the experience by going tandem.

    Dont worry going tandem doesnt ruin the experience, its as good a starting block as any!
