Its been a few months since I have sold my GTR. Its been quite depressing to tell you the truth. Three months without any adrenalin rush has driven me crazy.

So I've booked in a Skydiving session on Saturday.

Not sure what to expect, I am confident as usual :nyaanyaa:

Anyone else done it before, any tips at all?

I'm going to look into getting a certification (obviously a few more sessions to follow) and then be able to jump alone.

It's the tandem jump by the way, 10,000 feet off Bell's beach.

For all you guys who love posting pics - make sure its not of a person who's parachute failed !!

My tip is to hold on tight and don't forget to enjoy the ride. You never know when it's your last :rofl:

Just kidding. When I did it, it was heaps of fun! Just enjoy the experience and try to not to get caught up in all the extra stuff they try to sell you. The DVD at the end is pretty good but that's bout it.

Ash: I'm full of confidence mate, I don't see myself hesitating to jump at all. In fact to prove all my family and friends wrong it will be on taped on DVD. Lets hope I prove them wrong :rofl:

Leewah: I'm hoping it will be full of fun. They did say it will be around 40seconds of free fall and around 6-7 mins of parachuting.

Do the Accelerated freefall course, 2 day course then you get to jump by yourself (ie no tandem) I didn't want no big fat hairy guy strapped to my ass.... ;)

Did that a few years ago, pretty good... doesn't feel like your falling, just feels like you stick your head out of a car window at 200k/h :)

You think they'll even let you go up in the plane Hus!!!!

Hehehe - JK - you are braver than me.

Sif jumping out of planes is 'fun'.

Hahaha - Can't believe it took that long for someone to make that comment, I was expecting it on the first post :)

Lets hope it's all nice and smooth ;)

Hold on to what? Ya bum?? lol

It's awsome man, everyone should do it at least once.....

and you don't even have to jump, the person your attached to does and you just get pushed.

You'll definately get that rush your craving,,and then some!!! ;):)

You'll be back. You miss our weather too much, and all you have to drink up there is xxxx.

My girlfriend has a skydiving voucher she got for her birthday, i would love to do it over the x-mas break this year.

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
