I took up parachuting in April 1987. It certainly filled the gap since I had to give up cycling. It does however lack the the physical aspect. It does increase the heart rate but for very different reasons. Give me a new pair of knees and I'd give it up and wear them out cycling again.

Ive been a semi consistent jumper since starting. Now having completed 240 jumps, but thats not alot in 10 years.

This jump was done for a T shirt competetion.

Another photo of the same jump. This is here for any current Jumpers.

Question. Where's the chest Strap?

It had to be concealed in order not to obstruct the logo on the T Shirt. Yes this jump was legal. I was checked out by two very experienced jumpers. One an instructor.

If you can't work it out Email me.

One of the jumps I have done at headcorn. This is were I learned to jump 10 years ago.

If you wish to have a go ring the British Parachute Association on 01162 785271. Ask about the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) course. Your first jump will be free fall from 12000 feet with 2 instructors guiding you on the way down.

Have Fun!
