I've only been waiting sinse November, and now I've been told to get to Starallen airfield on friday . This'll be my first jump, so if I'm not back by sunday night you'll all know why

Brave of you. Thats one thing I don't think I could do... Jump out of a plane at god knows what altitude... Good luck.

Good luck!

Good luck.

So, I guess you'll have a static line since its your first jump...or will you pull the rip cord your self?

It must be cold in the U.K, its about 17F during the day here in Canada.

Good luck Craig, and remember what my old parachute instructor at Brize used to say "Adrenalin is brown and runs down your leg!"
Don't end up as strawberry jam huh! And enjoy yourself, you'll love it!

Thanks guys, I'm doing a static line Raps jump from 3500ft

Easier than stepping off the pavement, errr but the pavement isn't at 3.5 grand of course.....

Ps. Try and post some pics!

I'll try, but I'd have to arange for someone to send them to me via MSN as my scanner took early retirment

off for the train now and I've never been as nervous in my life

Okay roll-up roll-up, its time for the 'Will CrazyCraig survive sweep-stake'
I'm putting my money on him surviving it, being scared out of his brain, and loving it.

Any takers
Ozzy

I'll put money on him being pushed outta the plane...

Its static line so hes gonna survive.

Ever heard of strop failure? Or the Irish parachute packer? True with static line the odds are better.... But it's still a dangerous game!

Ozzy, if you ever go sky diving, I will be sure to find an Irish to pack the parachute for you. Oh, one more thing, I will also make sure he is drunk.
