highfly 0 #1 October 12, 2010 So after taking the last 6 years off from skydiving due to starting a new life in NZ, a new family and a lack of cash Im back into it. Ive been wondering what has been missing from my life over the last few years in regards to personal activty and have tried Paragliding and Gliding as a replacement to skydiving because part of my mentality was telling me it would be a lot safer and also cheaper, but it just didnt cut it. So I bit the bullet and went to my local dropzone at Whenuapi airbase with http://www.aucklandskydivers.co.nz/ in Auckland and managed to get on a load with an instructor to do a check out dive. We went to 12k and I done a dive exit with 2 drp's a couple of turns, 1 back flip and 1 front flip with a nice track at the end. Pulled at 3.5k I even managed to stand the landing up . Boy it feels good to be back again. www.myspace.com/durtymac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
