SRC Member dradttg Posted August 22, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 22, 2005 Dear all, Have anyone of you tried that? I have been thinking about doing it. I have a friend who did it in Australia (10 jumps for 2K). Have anyone of you done it before? Where else can it be done? Thank you. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member dradttg Posted August 22, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks kelstorm. Found the website, www.skydive.com.sg. The price of doing it is more expensive that doing it in Australia. I should arrange to do in Australia when I go there for work again.

RAV-65 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Btw, haven't got a chance to try this free-fall thingy with a burly man strapped so tightly to my body... But had bungeed twice when I was in New Zealand ( no burly man attached to me )... once at Mount Hutt and once at some river ( cant remember name )... Got certs to prove it! Dat's about the most manly thing I ever did! Anyway for those who haven't tried, try it if you ever have a chance, the adrenalin rush is out of the world!!

acidjazz Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Room temperature when i went to Aussie this Feb was 31-32 degrees. At 14000 feet, the temperature actually drops to 25-26 degrees. It was fantastic. . i paid about $300 aussie dollars for this jump which is definately worth it.

I used to shiver even standing on high ladder or escalator. After diving, somehow my fear of height is gone. Though it is different, for diving you are looking down at 30 to 40m.

SRC Member icecold Posted August 24, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks bro. Nice photo. The photos was a nice but painful experience.. being a person who took photos as a hobby....it was always a pain to pay NZ150 for a guy to take 20 pictures of me.... "touch" (Each photo cost 150/20 = NZ7.50 = 7.5 x 1.2 = SIN9) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
