look what I done now....

Postby kb » Tue Sep 26, 2006 12:06 pm

Sunday, CPT, dear old auntie decides to "treat me" to a skydive. First jump, tandem of course, and what a amazing, unforgettable feeling. Yes, I was a little nervous, and quite rightly so, but the feeling was did not match my preconcieved idea's, IT SMASHED IT!! There is NO feeling that you are falling, just a tad windy, that's all. Will deff do it again, and for those that have NOT done it, it's a deff must. Not cheap, but well worth it. To see Robben island, Coffee-table mountain", and all the way to cape point, was a special feeling. Those in CPT know how good the wx was on sunday.

Camera man also jumps, has video strapped to his helmet, and then still camera on the top of his helmet, with a month piece between his teeth. he then just bites the mouth piece, and the camera takes the shot. using a wide angle lens, also helps to get all the shots in view, but of course there are one or 2 that have chopped the pic in half, can't win them all.
Thunder, you can do it.
