hey guys
i suddenly had the urge to go skydiving again
turns out theres a group discount for solo jumps
20% off with 20 people
so if you interested post and we can arrange a date
the company is located in newmarket
it would be $176 a head for a 3000 foot first time solo jump
http://www.parachuteschool.com
Never done it before sort of interested.
Is there any special equipment or anything I would need ?
Will I destroy my ankes?
if you have never been before its an insain experence
adn the best part is when the shute is open.
landing, if done right, youll just land and stand there.
all you need is running shoes.
Keep me posted I’m definately interested.
How long is the prep-course?
Interested for sure!
Could prolly get a couple people in on this too.
Theo
I’m in aswell if it’s going through, probably a couple of friends too.
Yup, would be interested too.
Well since so many are interested we need to choose a date
i was thining late june on a sunday
get time for ppl to sign up and save cash
the training course is typically 4-5 hours
so it would be an all day event to get time for everyone to jump.
so once we decide on the final date we need ppl to sign up for sure. if you back out we all get screwed on the discount.
:arrow: Sounds good, start collecting deposits from people once everything is finalized to ensure no one gets screwed.
What happens if both my parachutes fail when i’m on my way down? :?:
Then you’re fucked.
If you think you have a chance at surviving you can fan out and slow yourself down a bit and then land on ur legs.
Or if you want to go out with some glory you just go head-first.
Or you could survive with every bone in your body broken…
I am most certianly down!
How many peices of i.d do you need???
and what happens if say 40 people are interested?
I doubt 40 people will want to jump out of an airplane.
How much does it cost to go higher? 3,000 is pussy shit… lets get some HALO jumps goin.
sounds good. tell me when you want the deposit. first time for everything

haha
yea, sure
its 300o ft for the first just cause you have to open the chute almost right away.
it will still be an insain expereince, especially because your jumping, not the instructor like in a tandom jump.
i have done a 12,000 foot jump before and had 50 seconds of free fall
but it was a tandom jump.
as i said before, i found the best parts to be the chute opening and then just flying around
i want to go. i was under the impression your first jump no matter what was a tandem though?

I could get 40 people alone to come, but that would be a busy day.
and are you saying after the first jump (if we are successful :P) we can go higher?
DETAILS
I called again and got all questions answered
THE COST
176 each after 20% discount plus gst (no pst) = 188.32 TOTAL
THE CLASS
registration starts at 9am
class starts at 10am and goes to around 3-4
THE JUMP
starting after teh class untill sunset
if the weather conditions become a problem teh jump its self can be rescedualed and a refresher course is required at a 10 dollar cost
Jumps are from 3000 feet
weather permiting 4000 or even 5000 are possible with a 15 dollar cost per 1000ft
its so low because your all noobs and wind can creat different conditions.
the most they have had in a day before is 29 with out a problem so we will be ok.
deposits will be required to make sure we dont get screwed on the discount
feel free to bring friends, please add them to a spot
