Dante_Lockhart Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Something I never thought I'd do due to being afraid I suppose, but now I'm just thinking **** it I may as well. Just wondered who else had done one and if they can recommend a place to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yes. It's **** awesome . I can't really recommend anywhere though as I done mine in the Army . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc12 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I did my first jump around 3 years ago and over 1000 jumps later i work at a Skydiving centre down in Devon currently. It's a highly addictive sport and i can't think of anyone out of the thousands we take skydiving for their first time each year that hasn't enjoyed it. As for the scared of heights thing we jump loads of people each year that are scared of heights including some of the staff and you're soo high up that the height doesn't effect anyone. Location close-ish to you i would recommend www.bpslangar.co.uk which is the biggest centre in the country. For anybody thats ever considered skydiving but never got round to it i can't recommend it enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturdaygig Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm put off now by all this tandem jumping sissy nonesense. It ain't a proper skydive unless you do the jumping out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yep did my level one 13k freefall at a centre near March, in Cambs. Great fun but involves lots of waiting around so you want decent facilities to help kill time which his place didn't have. Not sure if all the centres are dives (pun intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm put off now by all this tandem jumping sissy nonesense. It ain't a proper skydive unless you do the jumping out yourself. Whilst I agree with you a tandem jump isn't the real deal, it is still very exhilarating. I'd not done it before but I did one over Namibia earlier this year and it was **** brilliant. At some point I'll get round to doing it solo as I imagine that would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2011 if they can recommend a place to do it?Out of an aeroplane, in the sky, seems like the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 It's hard enough to get me onto a plane let alone get me to jump out of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
