The best experience you can live through  — 2 years ago

I am so glad that I got on and did this. I completed the AFF course at Freefall University, Ocana, Spain. Its the most amazing sensation. The feeling of acheivment afer a good skydive is unbeatable.

I want to do this for the rest of my life!

I’m soooo looking forward to then!!!

AFF Course at the Free Fall University!  — 2 years ago

This weekend I was thinking about what I might do to holiday and the whole skydiving thing drifted across my mind, so I got searching on the web.

I’ve found a place in Spain that calls itself the FreeFall University. I’ve been on the phone to them today to check availabilty and prices, and hopefully (as long as I can get the time off work) I’ll be heading over there for a week in May to complete the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) course.

I’m already buzzing with excitement, I can’t wait to get out there :-D

Did a static line jump  — 2 years ago

I always wanted to do a parachute and a freefall jump, since I was a teenager. While I was at university in Exeter I had the opportunity so I went to Dunkeswell and did the training, and a couple weeks later I actually did my first static-line parachute jump.

A static-line jump is when you have a fixed cord between you and the plane which pulls the parachute for you. This gives about 3 seconds of freefall, not that you really have chance to notice that!

It was an amazing experience that I hope to repeat, and I hope this time I’ll do enough jumps to progress to a full freefall skydive!
