That was the first time that I've been to Nagambie, I was up there for a week and had a blast, ended up doing 6 jumps. Yeah I remember seeing you up in Sydney, sory I havn't connected, I'm a very quiet type. So thanks for saying hi. Nick.
It was awesome fun, I have heard storeys of people passing out on their first jump, the two instructors hang onto you all the way down, so that if you don't or can't pull the rip cord they will.
It was very cool Andrew, this jump was a bit of a blur, the following jumps where beter. I've gotton myself back onto the exercise bike, I want to get fit before I jump.
Hey Glee, it was quite a thing to do, too strap a parachute to your own back. If you want to give it a go, I recomend doing a tandem jump, I'd be happy to be your mentor!
Man, I just don't know that I'd be able to jump on my own like that (but then, I guess you weren't really alone, per se). I think ti's so cool that you pulled that off, and man, that sunset at the end looked awesome! Southern Cross Skydivers? So what city is that in?
It's quite another experience straping a parachute to your own back. I wasn't really on my own, if I didn't pull the rip cord, the guy on the left could, or the guy on the right could pull the reserve chute. The sunset was shot at the end of the day. I jumped at a place called Nagambie which is an hour and a half drive North from Melbourne.
Thanks for the comments. If it's on your bucket list, just do it, it's such an awesome, intense experience, I highly recomend a tandem jump as a first jump. You could jump with Skydive Mackay.
I remember nagamie as a kid. And I remember you from the YT conference in Sydney haha. I subscribed. Blessings FLETCHER
