Hi I'm Mikey, if you where to come to Brid we'd might meet as I pack/jump.So I kinda spend a lot of my spare time at Brid.
I first came to Brid with the 4Para (reservist - Parachute Regiment) as part of a bit of adventure training with 20 of guys all dressed in combats and boots. We spent the day completing our static line training under the supervision of Phil, Del, Chris and Simon screaming our heads off ARCHTHOUSAND!!! etc... and making a the onlookers jump. It was a real fun and entertaining day as the staff, current and former Reg lads all kicked about with the banter and even though we didn't jump that day it was a worth while experience.
Once I realised I wanted to jump and had the bug I turned to the staff and asked how a bloke with not much money could be invovled in the sport and they just said "Learn to pack" so thats what I did. So under the supervison of Olley, Joey and the CCI Ray Armstrong I became a packer. which I do to pay for my jumps which makes the training course I'm doing so much worth while.
I'v learned so much from all the wealth of exsperience at Brid from guys and they really have made me feel welcome.
If you want to get into skydiving, Brid is the place to do it and over the last few months I have gained some much just being apart of what Brid has to give.
