We ought to dig out some more video...
Great stuff Sherl. I really fancy giving this a whirl, but don't think my Doctors would be so keen just at the moment, will let things settle...
In the meantime - the Best of British to you mate!

I still remember that day very well - never knew at the time what it would grow into for you!Pompey In South Sussex wrote:As well as an instructor and coach in various skydiving disciplines, I was that guy!! I worked at Headcorn in Kent doing it all - along with regular paid instructional trips to Spain and California (usually Lake Elsinore, for info of our USA cousins) - A great 10 years or so, but a bad back forced me into skydiving retirement - and golf! Where's Wally's big brother and I did our first jump in 1982, but it was a few years before I returned seriously. Good times and I miss it. Ah well.
Remember you guys coming back, and wishing you could get straight up there again! That picture you have (with my little Big Bro') was a favourite of my Mum's till she went - always out

Thanks mate, your support is much appreciated - though more videos such as the one above would not be!WheresWally/ScottMcGarvey wrote:We ought to dig out some more video...

Re: I can't believe I'm doing this, but....!!
Many thanks TTNY, and I sincerely hope I don't get T-Boned! It's one thing doing it in a kart, but the idea of a mid-air collision with another sky-diving 'virgin' doesn't bear thinking about (and no, I don't want any YouTube videos posted to show what it might look like Wally!).

Try this Sherl, no need for a parachute at all really, or to learn how to land

Hi mate. Not tried using PayPal to donate, but I know VMG were doing some maintenance on the site over the weekend so may have been something to do with that.formerly known as wrote:Hi mate, have tried twice now via paypal (will try again)...
Only 55 days 'til I jump. So much to do, and so little time....

Had five people due to jump today (we had two dates booked with the Red Devils) but the weather put the mockers on it. Was due to be there to watch (not sure if that would have made me feel better or worse about my upcoming leap) but now looks like all 10 of us will be jumping together on 6th September.

Blimey, that's come round quick (seemed an age away).
Might seem a while for you Sherl, but bet that last week flies by, lol...

One month and one day, start counting down NSS....never did get back to you about your reply to the height problem and my stomach is churning as I type. Come on one and all, a terrific cause and I for one would love to see the video. Nice one VFTH.

Big thanks to Lindford
Unfortunately, my jump has again been postponed (someone's messing with my head!) and has now been re-booked for 6th October.
Still, gives me a bit more time to hit the £1,300 target
