Dear all,

Have anyone of you tried that?

I have been thinking about doing it. I have a friend who did it in Australia (10 jumps for 2K).

Have anyone of you done it before? Where else can it be done?

Thank you.

regards

Let us work together to preserve the world for our children to inherit by being responsible to our surroundings. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, bubbles and memories.

Btw,

haven't got a chance to try this free-fall thingy with a burly man strapped so tightly to my body...

But had bungeed twice when I was in New Zealand ( no burly man attached to me )... once at Mount Hutt and once at some river ( cant remember name )... Got certs to prove it! :eyebrow::eyebrow:

Dat's about the most manly thing I ever did!

Anyway for those who haven't tried, try it if you ever have a chance, the adrenalin rush is out of the world!! :yeah::yeah::yeah:

People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...

Wat I do to prevent myself from tearing my hair out... My stress remedy...

Room temperature when i went to Aussie this Feb was 31-32 degrees. At 14000 feet, the temperature actually drops to 25-26 degrees. It was fantastic. . i paid about $300 aussie dollars for this jump which is definately worth it.

Bro, $300 for tandem jump kinda of $$. Will be more worth it if goin for the AFF, u control ur chute. Military jump and civilian jump r totally different. ;)

someone ever told me to go for this free fall thing to cure my height phobia hahaha :D doubt it work anyway cos by looking at the photo of free fall,I already couldnt find my knee :blink:

Try scuba diving, it helps.

I used to shiver even standing on high ladder or escalator.

After diving, somehow my fear of height is gone. Though it is different, for diving you are looking down at 30 to 40m.

Thanks bro. Nice photo.

The photos was a nice but painful experience..

being a person who took photos as a hobby....it was always a pain to pay NZ150 for a guy to take 20 pictures of me.... "touch"

(Each photo cost 150/20 = NZ7.50 = 7.5 x 1.2 = SIN9)
