    Nah, man, whit a buzz it is. I couldn't even begin to describe it. Deathly silent too. That caught me by surprise cos when ye see it on the telly ye hear a "whooshing" sound as they fall through the air. But that is an artefact of the microphones recording the jump.

    May have been a whoosh sound in freefall, I canny mind, yer too preoccupied with the sensory overload of freefalling from 12000 to 3000 feet. Once the chute is open. Deadly quiet.

    Naw, but I did take a stiffy. Which was a bit worrying cos it was a tandem jump and the instructor was strapped onto ma back.

    Not a chance you'd get me to sky dive...


    I hate flying - even getting on a plane freaks me out!

    Is that all you did? I did it from 14000. Extra 2000 ft makes all the difference <ok>

    Also, the bastards are no slow in winding ye up when yer in a tiny wee plane with no doors on it climbing to the jump altitude.

    The ****s were talking about how they all had an eye on each others chute and if looked like it was going to snag or start to open the **** wearing it would get chucked oot the plane regardless of altitude for fear it would open fully inside the plane, get caught by the wind, and bring the plane doon <laugh>

    Yea, I stopped for over 6 months this year, problem with the electric ones is that you get used to them and they become boring.

    I'm going to get the pimped up chrome version that looks a bit like a dildo next year, they're ****ing awesome. You end up blowing out smoke like you're taking bong hits.
