Hello

Just thought I would see if anyone would be interested in a WB skydive. I started Skydiving about 2 years ago and it's honestly the best thing I have ever done.
After I tell people this I always get the response "I would love to do that"
So I thought I would ask if any one wanted to try a tandem skydive.
It is expensive at £200 but the most exciting thing you will ever do. The other option is doing it for a charity and putting any extra you make to the charity ( possibly the bike experience or something bike related) I can prob get a discount if I can get some numbers.

Cheers Don

Cool I will sort it out then as there is a few people interested :) will be in the summer as its a lot more fun when it's sunny as you may end up sat around most of the day if the weather is pants or it's to windy.

Is there a weight limit then????

If so then what is it .......cos this chubby (ok I'll say it before someone else does....FAT) short arse person would definately be up for this ????


I would have to do it as a sponsored thing so would need a bit of time to get some sponsorship together......what sort of dates are you thinking of ????

This was my first jump without an instructor holding on to me and it did not go to plan :( I was meant to fall flat and then do a 360 left and right then attempt a back flip and this was what happens.
