Smile Skydive for the RNIB

Dear All,

I have in my wisdom been talked into throwing myself out of a perfectly good aircraft at 10K feet all in the name of the RNIB

If you would like to sponsor me in this lunacy then please visit http://www.justgiving.com/sjskyline

Thanks in advance

Rich

Tell them to take you to 14,000ft so you can a better view

Good luck,

Stefan

I know you will enjoy yourself, I done a Static line jump for Devon Air ambulance and raised £503 it was absolutly superb. I really want to do it again. I use to have a fear of heights but that is well gone. The Tandem i do not tink will be the same as it is the Traind Sky Diver who will do everything. The static line you have full controll and jump alone. I only done 4000ft beautiful day, had to get into the door myself theinstructer went 3,2,1 Go and i went. all the training we done that day had gone right over my head and instead of going Arch 1 Thousand, 2 Thousand... 5 Thousand check Cannopy. when i jumped it was Aaaaaahhhhh untill i felt the chute open and pull me up i then thought Oh S*it check cannopy all was well i got the toggles and shouted wooohhooooo the feeling was superb. The landing could have been better, i had to land in a freshly cut corn field and slippd on my a**. Their were people their doing tandem jumps from around 10000ft due to the extra weight but i prefered the static jump.

All the best for it mate.
