11 000 feet at 200kph

Megan and Riaan's first skydiving experience with Johannesburg Skydiving Club. 

My Dive #2 and it was AWESOME!  There are very few words to describe this experience....

The day was perfect 33 deg C weather and not a cloud in the sky. We got suited up and briefed and it was a short walk to the aircraft.  A ten to fifteen minute aircraft ride to get up to 11 000ft was soopa hot, so hot they eventually opened the door a little to get a breeze through.  I was first to go, then Riaan and Meg was saved for last.

An approximate 40 second free fall through the clouds at 200kph, parachute opens and then a 10 minute gentle float to the ground with lots of spiraling left and right, with the best view you have EVER seen.  You can see for miles.  It its completely breathtaking and utterly silent!

As soon as our feet touched the ground, both Megan and I yelled the same thing "I WANNA GO AGAIN".  Riaan said he would probably never do it again.  My Boerewors suffers from motion sickness and I guess this was a little too extreme for him.  He says he's not sorry he experience it, but that its NOT for him.

The anticipation smiles, suited up and ready to head out to the plane
