bikerxxuk 0 #1 May 13, 2009 Hope this has not been posted already, I have done a search but there not one with a link to the footage. Andy on the Blue Peter show (UK show on kids TV aimed at teenagers) completes his challenge to do AFF and jump with the RAF Falcons over LA. See here on BBC i Player. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006md2v Start watching 12 minutes into it. Jolly good for the sport I say. Well done Andy.It's my Natural Arch !

mr_music11 0 #2 May 13, 2009 your clicky says program is no longer avail for viewing.. but really... as long as the coverage is "positive"... then I would say bravo.. the more good coverage we can have for our sport the better!If flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat. I know why birds sing.. I skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R1DOC 0 #8 May 17, 2009 I had similar high's and low's. Jumps 5-8 were by far more nerve racking for me than the first 4, but after that It got better. I think after doing flips and rolls I realized how much control I had and that set alot of my fears to rest. I still have some gear fears but that goes away after the first jump of the day.
