Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Decided I'm going to do it on my birthday, the 23rd...

Going to book this week...

Any jumpers for the 23rd pm me.
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whooooooo, amazing free fall. Skydiving was awesome. Had a blast. Shoutout to Skydive Toronto for making it happen. I am looking for jumpers sometime in August - going to be skydiving Burnaby next.

Although I crossed it off my list already, I'll jump with others going for their first time and I want to experience Burnaby but I'll go anywhere someone or a group of us want to go.

:happy3::lol::p:D:):cool::happy3:

Oh, forgot to mention...there was a 86 yr old lady that jumped, she looked 60 and she walked and move better then most teenagers today that sit on the couch.

Hi there,
Well depending on your group size we pretty much have any weekend avail right now. Group rates start at 5 with a $10 savings and a group of 10 is a $20 savings per person. The jump is $299 and dvd is $105 not including the discounts. Give us a call for booking details.
Thanks

I want to stroke this off my bucket list too.

Anyone else care to join?
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:( Looking like I've taken too many weekends off from work already this summer and low on funds.

*Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.*

:happy3: Make time :happy3:

*On another note, looks like the extreme thrill of a skydive might not happen - Another thing I wanted to do, a little more normal....anyone interested in White Water Rafting (if we get a group of 4+) or Kayaking. There is still the time factor but much cheaper.....and if it's on anyone's list as well.

If anyone has gone before, feel free to share how it was and where you went.
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love white water rafting and white water kayaking too. So much fun!!!
I went to New World Rafting in Quebec. Its cheaper than the ottawa one and the guides are nuts. Supposedly the rapids are better there too.

Going to have to hold off on rafting this year too. Having a bike costs alot you know;)

The dive will happen wether or not gtam people go or not. I can't see Seabreez pulling the plug on this one. Hopefully he will want to do it again next year.

Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im in for the Skydive if on the 27th ! Anyone planning on going solo for their first jump ?
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm in on the 27!

Inferno come join us.

We can save $10.00 with a group of 5 Divers....OMG

All joking aside.

Are we all leaving from Metro Toronto?

Should we book a 9:00am or10:00am Jump?

We should try to meet up for a ride to the jump site.

I think it might be my brother that's at the door in the plane... Kinda looks like the back of his head.

He's known as J-Rodd there, did you meet him?

Naw, my video guy was Chris, and the person I was strapped in with was Peter. Met Nina and Olegs too. So J-Rodds your bother and dose this for a living, have you jumped before?
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I haven't jumped yet. I'd love to though. I'd probably just do a tandem at first, or maybe i'd do the solo.
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we all want to try to jump on the same date or should we go in two groups?

We should probably be booking the jump soon...

Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm jumping that weekend as well. Was going to do skydivetoronto though as the burnaby location is a bit of a hike from Durham. My jump date of a couple weeks ago got cancelled because the jumper I was to go with had last minute billls so had to bail. If he bails for the 27th then I'll likely hook up with you folks and do burnaby if that's ok. I'm crossing this off my list this year no matter what.

Oh and I'm up for rafting, kayaking, pretty much anything outdoors and fun. Thinking of Elora Gorge or Treetop Trekking this weekend if anyone else is interested. PM me.
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad news, I'm going to have to back out for another skydive. Gotta pay for school August 18th and going to be broke for a while $6*** :(. I would come out for the ride / day though, just post up when the group decides.

I had some great experiences this year and even though you say you "cross" them off the list, somethings keep you wanting more and will always be there on the list for years to come - Cliff jump (20ft skiing), did a motorcycle road trip up north, finished college and skydiving and starting uni soon.

Next year - Ice climbing, vacation, rock climbing, white water rafting / kayaking, scuba diving, track day(s)....feel free to add to my list for me :happy3: and to everyone thinking of skydiving to "cross" it off your list, you'll be addicted to the rush and wanting more, more, more
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My jump partner bailed (his car died and he can't spare the cash) so I'm in for the 27th if anyone here is actually jumping that weekend. SeeBreez I'll PM you.
 
Re: Skydiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll look into a noon jump for the 27th. Anyone interested can PM me. Hopefully we can ride to the jump site together. I'll post the details later.
