How to do a parachute jump
It made me
excited
 "Quite amazing. The worst part is to actually decide doing it. Jumping was scary, exciting and fun!"
How I did it: One thing is to decide doing it. Another to do it. When I was 21 or something, I decided to do a list of all the things I would like to do before I die. To my fear I knew that I had to do a parachute jump. After deciding, all there is to it is actually book an agency, pay for it and show up at the correct date. After that, it's simply to follow along and enjoy the ride.
To make it into something fun, I took with my Fakepilot MIG-29 helmet and paid a diver to jump with it, while someone else filmed it. I did the tandem jump myself. This way I could pay off the experience with my company. Use the video for marketing reasons. Lessons & tips:

I got my kit together, checked out, jumped aboard the Taupo Tandem shuttle bus and arrived shortly after at the aerodrome. Waiting for the shuttle bus gave me … Read how I did it…

Okay. So to me, this is the most frightened task and the most wanted-to-do task.
Hopefully I’ll have the guts to do it when I am 21. LoL

It’s not enough to do just one static line jump – I want to learn to skydive so I’ll carry on jumping.
