I'm considering it...
Would love to do an AFF jump, but i need to sort out whether or not i can get the time off work for both the training and the jump day.
Providing all goes well with leave from work, I'll be in.

haha, wish it worked like that. Unfortunately, work controls how much I get paid, and if I take 2 days off for training, then another 2 off to head to york for a jump, then count in the cost of the jump its self... i'm about 2k down
Which makes for a very expensive 60sec freefall...

but hey, on the up side, I just found out that one of my mates works at skydive express

I actually thought there'd be a lot of people who would be up for this. All those people who say, i'd love to go skydiving. This is the time with petrol prices and all that. I think the prices might be going up soon

*I'm psyched*

OMG I can't believe how much time has flown. Well this is an extra incentive for me to win the fight & insist my boss backpays me!!! It'll cover my jump costs.

Altho I think will prob be tandem for my first time - not sure about the training/time involved for the Freefall. Plus I'm clumsy and I have images of me pulling the wrong cord or something and I'd like to be in a state to get back on my bike afterwards

(Reminder has been put in my lists of things to do - REGISTER!! - gotta have some girlz doing it for MAD this year too )

Hmmm,

If ZanzaraNera has confirmed, there are 3.

Hope more people can register up for this.

Desperate to go on this one, as this has been on my wish list for too long now.....

Just had an op. though which is why I am holding off at this stage with booking, as I'm not sure if I will be able to jump

I wanted to do a solo, but if I can still manage a tandem with a strapped arm - I'm still in (if it can be done that is!!)
I won't know for sure 'till I see the surgeon again at the end of July.

Keep your fingers crossed for me guys!!

I haven't confirmed yet

Depends, still waiting to see if the boss actually comes up with the backpay $ I'm "supposed" to receive, so that I can afford it.....

I think my mate just mailed off his forms for the jump

And giving information to a friend tomorrow, she's pretty interested in jumping too.

Dugy: once we have the charity dinner out of the way, we'll start pimping this pretty heavily.

It will keep things moving nicely until the bikes are ready
