THE MOUNTAIN WARRIORS
Hey everyone coming to you live from queenstown! We have been here for a couple of days and its been pretty damn cool. On the drive in we stopped off at a place where you can shoot guns.. it was sweet, clay pigeon shooting and rimfire rifles were pretty good fun although wouldnt mind going out on a deer hunt or something! But lets cut straight to the point, we did a skydive yesterday. It was heavy, jumping from a plane at 15,000 feet, thats about 17,000 feet above sea level, we needed oxygen it was so high! It was such a mad feeling sitting with legs dangling out of the little plane at that height and then just going for it. You get such a rush as you start to fall and tumble and it takes quite a while to register whats actually happening, you reach terminal velocity pretty quickly which is about 240 km per hour and we had a full 60 seconds of freefall so you can really enjoy it, although it felt like 20 seconds it was so nuts! Jumz and Ginge came out after but i only caught sight of them once the parachute had been opened because your so focused on the freefalling. maximum respect to ginge who isnt a great fan of heights, he was straight out of that plane and wanted to go straight back up as soon as he had landed! all we could do in the plane on the way up is just grin stupidly at eachother it was brilliant. So we had a camera guy each, me and ginge got the photos, as you will see in the album, and a dvd which is damn sweet. Jumz just went for the photos which I will also put on the site shortly. Unfortunately Ginges photos havent arrived at the shop yet but keep checking the site. We went out with the 4 other people we did the dive with last night and had a pretty heavy one, several pints followed by 7 bottles of champagne put us to sleep nicely! We are just chilling out for a day now and Im looking at all the other stuff like huge bungee jumps and jet boats which Im sure mum will absolutely love!!....... Check the NZ photo album aswell because thats just about to get updated. peace
