skyejumper 0 #1 August 24, 2006 If you were grounded for a while, and couldn't do anything too physically strenuous, what activity might be a good substitute for skydiving for a bunch of months? Please don't say golf or bowling. I'm seriously missing the adrenaline rush, but due to a medical reason can't jump 'til next spring. Suggestions?

Scoop 0 #3 August 24, 2006 What about flying? Its expensive but good fun. I don't mean go and get your PPL but do a few pleasue flights where you can take control. I done a few and got to take control for about 15 mins each time. After that the pilot did aerobatics. Was good fun. But if your grounded, maybe you wouldn't be fit for that.. I don't know, just a suggestion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites shropshire 0 #4 August 24, 2006 Paragliding is just a good. (.)Y(.)
