CHOPPER JUMPS!

I jumped out of a helicopter today.............three times!! It's just awesome, totally different to jumping out of a plane, much more like BASE jumping. You're falling into still air so you have pretty much no control as soon as you let go, and you get the same feeling of acceleration you get when you jump off anything, it just lasts a bit longer!

These two are Ritchie in the black & white and JP in the mostly black.

Skydiving and Landing

This is me landing on my new canopy

These are from a tandem swoop I did a couple of days ago



This is Ricky, our resident canopy piloting expert, swooping the lake edge!

NZONE

I've been working here now for nearly 4 months and I've even been paid once! I have been meaning to post some pictures of where I work, so here they are.


Coming into land

Tandem landing

This is a photo I took of a visiting jumper, you can see Queenstown behind him & we live on the far side of the lake just to the right of his left knee!
