Come on Anyweb, you must have left from malmö Fligg plats and be back home by now

 

[anyweb]

i did it !!!!

ok i did the jump, what an unbelivable experience !!!

awesome but also terrifying as well as terribly exciting !!!

we jumped from 3,000 metres up (that's 3 kilometres !) and did 40 seconds freefall approaching speeds of 200km/h then my tandem pulled the cord and we glided down to earth for the next 5 minutes or so

here's a few photos, i'll post a link to the video once i get it uploaded on my server in a few days,

WHAT A DAY

Congratulations!! Great photos! And you're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din. I'll stay strapped in between a couple of wings and a tail, thank you very very much.

 

[littlebrooklyn]

[Blobcat]

Well done, no way would I do it.

 

[television]

I have to agree with blobcat on this one, thanks for that

 

[littlebrooklyn]

The video makes it look ever scarier than the photos

 

[panason1c]

Got your Paraglider ordered yet?........

 

[three pointed star]

Sky Diiiiiiiiiiiiving!!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Bonkers, but a Braver man than me!

 

[anyweb]

thanks guys

i've decided i'll do it again ! the buzz was just SO amazing !

infact, the guy who i jumped with said and I quote 'why do all these people take anti-depressent drugs when they could do this'.

I agree with him so much, sometimes people need a kick up the ass to remind them that they are alive,

thankfully I'm not one of them.

I'm going to jump again !

*you are never more alive than when you think you are going to die*
