Looking for Fast Riders

No speed limits, but there's plenty of rules to be broken ;) And they have a separate skydive club at Grand Bend.
Ya 2 seater, Cessna 150, still working toward a license. PM for anymore details. If you want to fly with an instructor, It's for rent, half price of what the flying club charges!
Also sightseeing flights for sale once I get a license.

I don't know Ramon the way you ride;) and could only imagine what kind of stunts you'll be pulling
 
About 200-230 km/h.

Alright I'll give you some skydive lessons next month! I always wondered if my emergency parachute actually works..

Screw that, if you can provide a cheaper skydiving opportunities on a more regular basis (like couple of times a month), I'll buy my own chute.
 
Ya that's possible. I'd recommend a few jumps with an instructor though first :P Chutes are expensive though. We should split the cost for one!

probably getting a skydive license amongst one of you is a half decent idea !!

I started jumping in 1991 and have over 1500 jumps. We can go as high as 15,000' ASL without oxygen. Parachutes cost almost $2000, and the container it goes in cost almost $2,000, and the reserve parachute cost around 1500, so a complete system costs about 5-6K new, but you can pick up used airworthy jumpable gear for less than 3000. It would take about $2500 and 20 jumps to get your A licence, which will let you jump on your own, and about another 1000 to get your B licence which lets you jump with other skydivers and play in the sky. Once you are licenced and have your own gear, a jump from 10,000-14,000 feet high would cost less than $36 each jump. At that price it is easy to become an altitude junkie.

I'm a Tandem Master at www.skydiveswoop.com near Dundas.

they must make an exception for skydiving jumps. How much for a tandem jump at skydive swoop? Can you get discounts?

A tandem at SWOOP cost $295+tax. Video is extra, but well worth it. The only people who regret video are the ones who didn't get it.

I don't get a discount on tandems, but if there is a group you can get a discount.
