For my 20th bday, my rents bought me my first skydive down at Mercer in Waikato. It was a tandem jump from 12,000 feet, approximately 60 seconds of freefall and another five minutes under parachute canopy down from 5000 feet to landing back at the strip- one of the best things I've ever done in my life We didn't book the camera guy to join us, but it was such a nice day on Wednesday, he chose to come up with for the ride anyway. Thought I'd share some of the snaps here on the off chance I can tempt anyone else into giving it a go:

























And if you're on facebook, you can also view the video from his helmet camera here. Cheers!

Andy .... Did ya ever have this fear off falling .. dont figure ... why do you need a helmet hahahaha only joking new perspective to flight

I did a static line jump a few years back but no freefall to speak of, must do a tandom I think
