MeatJerky 0 #1 May 18, 2005 So for the past four months i was traveling around the world, and in the process managed to go tandem twice. Once in Hawaii and then again in South Africa. In Hawaii i became friends with the guys at the DZ and i am now completely hooked. Unfortunately in the three days that I did get to experience the whole skydiving vibe, I also got the worst side of it, one of my new friends passed on the day after I met him in an unfortunate accident. Even after seeing the worst of it, i can't stop thinking about skydiving and in the next few weeks will be signing up for an AFF program around Pittsburgh. If anyone is around here, say hi. I would love to talk.I wish my pants had a 3-ring system. Maybe my girlfriend wouldnt have such a problem trying to get them off... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MeatJerky 0 #4 May 19, 2005 I went at SkyDive Capetown. Cool little place, although they only had a couple cessnas. I see you're from JoBurg. I heard that was an interesting place, unfortunately the closest I got to there was this bar called Jo Burg on Long St in Capetown.I wish my pants had a 3-ring system. Maybe my girlfriend wouldnt have such a problem trying to get them off... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #5 May 20, 2005 Skydive CT's cool, they're still jumping Cessnas but i think once you get out the door the view more than makes up for the extra time it takes to get to altitude Jo'burg's very cool (both the place and the bar) if you ever come back this way come visit us for a jump or two, we jump turbines up here.
