10 Weeks of Skydiving...

I've been skydiving now for 10 weeks, and it' been pretty busy hence the lack of posts recently. These are all my course mates on the day of my 100th jump, except Jon, who we just couldn't find! The rest of my course bar one are still to reach the magic 100 and it's turning into winter here pretty fast, which is going to make jumping in your underwear pretty flippin cold! Once you have over 100 jumps in NZ you can put a camera on your helmet so you can film other people in freefall, which is going to be loads of fun!




This is me and one of the instructors Ian (he's Welsh incase you hadn't guessed!), just after exiting the plane. I'm doing a coaching jump called "Cat & Mouse" where I have to follow Ian wherever he goes in the sky. Now this is pretty dificult, but loads of fun when your having a good day and it works really well!


This is a jump I did with one of the other guys from the course called Shaun. We're freeflying, which basically means doing anything that's not belly down. This is me trying to sit fly!
