14000 Feet Freefall. Drop Of A Lifetime by gunpoint(op): 10:50am On Nov 17, 2015
So yesterday i ballsed up and took the plunge. I have a bucket list of things i wana do before i go and skydiving was one of them.
Kiss a Kangaroo(done)
Kiss a Tiger(loading)
Jump off a plane at 14000 feet(done)
Scuba dive with sharks at 130meters(booked)
Bungee jump(haven't found a trusty vendor)
Visit the 6 continents(only north and south America to go)
Drive at a major motoGP race(loading)
Space tourism(the ultimate dream)

So it was a bright and sunny day and i figured, if you are ever gona take the plunge, today is as good a day as any.
Its not for the faint hearted. But if you have ever wanted to live on the edge, if you have ever wanted to toy with fate, if you ever wanted to test the laws of physics, then add it to your bucket list too grin

Skydiving in tandem doesn't really give an Adrenaline rush. Try doing a solo jump next time, and when you have achieved that, try doing a proper military solo jump carrying 40 kilos of kit. You will get a proper Adrenaline rush afterwards. grin

Good start though, it's not easy jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft.

Hahahaha... my bucket list includes solo jumping, but here you have to start with a tandem jump. So i may never get to solo jump status, but 14000 feet is off my bucket list. Posting photos of my scuba dive soon too. That too is a guided tour wink

I screamed like a girl until i was like 2feet off the ground. Thats a hell of a lot of screaming mate.
But you have to do it. At 14000 feet, the horizon is infinite kiss
