Legend Claws Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Did a tandem a few years ago for the SOH campaign, was amazing mate. Went to St Andrews dive centre. Your body tells you you are going to die for the first couple of seconds but once you control that it is amazing! Do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely want to do a skydive, hoping to do one next summer if I stay healthy and seizure free long enough. There's a great place near Auchterarder (sp), half way between Stirling and Perth.

Auchterarder is good, a mate of mines jumps there. If you are going to do a tandem jump avoid St Andrews. Or that is the advice I have had from mates who fall out of planes for a hobby.

heartgarfunkel Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Did a static line jump with the RAF, **** it big style. The Dazzler has highlighted my preferred option. Check out this radge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81gn2oLeC_U Respect to Joe Kittinger - jumping from 102,000 feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondejamtart Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Did a tandem jump with a member of the Army Golden Lions parachute jump team a few years back - absolutely terrifying, but one of the best things I've ever done! If you get the chance to skydive - go for it! It is one of the most exhilarating things you will ever do, believe me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercrutch Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Static Line is way more scary than skydiving IMO. Jumping from 800ft is a completely different feeling from jumping from 12,000 ft. It feels more like you are jumping off something rather than into something. That's what I felt anyway. All good fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJambo Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 i done a static line jump from 3,000 ft a couple of years ago. ended up last out the plane and i was bricking it. chose not to do a tandem sky dive because i want to sky dive on my own in the future. was a great adrenaline rush, and it was very surreal just hanging off the chute once it was open. thought i was a gonner for a few seconds as the wind caught me when i came out the plane and before i could even think about couting to five my chute looked like it had opened horizontally (if that makes sense). all was well though. don't have the time here to follow it up and the uk parachute centres are only open weekends. hopefully i can do a raps course abroad one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
