The Poolie Bunker

Anybody done it? I sort of lost a bet to the younger brother and now he wants to go skydiving As he knows i am afraid of heights!!

Anybody done it? or know were i can sign up for it

And on a related subject has anyone ever gone kitesurfing? Cos I'm supposed to be going to get initiated on Sunday.

Never done it, but really want to. If you search for it on the internet you can get various sponsors.

I have but it was a lot of years ago.

Check this site, should tell you what you need to know.

Lots of it and it is the most fantastic experience. Do it and do it now! Fear of heights doesn't really come into it because you are so high you can hardly see the ground. Besides, when you are in the place and moving to the exit it happens automatically, you just go. This is because of the training you do beforehand where you do a lot of routines jumping off platforms etc.

Do it and enjoy it.

try shotton airfield i know they do parachute jumps there, dunno bout sky diving like... more fool you i say i darent even go on the rides at flamingo land common sense prevails

Mrs Bandage has always said she fancies skydiving and would i do have a go........ FOOK THAT!!

Like Mr I says, you wouldn't believe how exhilarating it is and what a sense of achievement it gives you.

I mean you got out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft for no particular reason right up in the sky and survived.

These days I go scuba diving. I go bored up there so now I go down there.

Oh Hpoollad, one popular myth that I'll explode for you straight off, when your parachute opens, you don't go shooting upwards at a dramatic rate, it's just that the camera man is usually still falling fast and you slow down.

weve been to south shields today and our lass couldnt get me on the waltzers, went on the bumpy cars with the bairn enough excitement for me... so skydiving, parachuting etc fluk that
