nutter! :shock: I'm scared of heights so would hate it. Did you enjoy it though?

Remember those bar bungee things? Strap elastic around yourself and then run towards the bar full of beer, grab your pint and then the elastic kicks in and drags you back with beer all over you. (I may have made that up - can't quite remember). Wouldn't it be fun to do it on a bike - yes, you'd certainly injure yourself and would have to be a bit p!ssed to even attempt it but it would be a laugh. God I'm bored.

Best fix I have had in ages :twisted: Not bad as I am 50 this year 8)

You never said when you spoke to me today! Well done - you idiot.

A mutual friend of ours did one in New Zealand when we were touring there in 1999. I think it cost about £70. I don't think it was enough. I'd want something like £1,000 at least before I'd do one

Nice one, it's a massive buzz isn't it.

Going to steal your thunder here I'm afraid

If you look closely I'm at the bottom of this Bloukrantz Bridge in SA, the biggest fixed jump in the world...




more recently I did a wet jump in NZ at the original site where it all kicked off. It was a walk in the park compared to my first jump

WWWWWHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR

Nice one . Somewhere I have pictures of me leaving a perfectly good aeroplane ......

at 2000 ft :shock: :shock: :roll:

You mean a bit like this? Just a few secs before I was sitting in a plane at 12,000ft thinking how mental was I - the next thing I know I'm lovin' every second of it...enough to spend a couple of weeks (and more than a few quid) in Florida throwing myself out of planes trying to get a licence!!!

Not quite ....Mine was a Solo jump.Static line to deploy chute . Did for charity ....Mind you it was a few years ago. I would love to do a free fall jump. One day who knows :shock:


During training it was .1.000, 2000, 3.000, 4,000 check canopy.
In reality it was 1,000 for FCUK $ake etc......... check canopy {saw the plane flying away from me :!: :?:} { Added up to the same } :roll:

Ps its good to know there are others who MAX it :!: 8)

Blow that for a game of soldiers! I'll continue to do my flying with my feet firmly on the ground. I prefer walking towards my crashes rather than being carried from them.

You know, life is really quite exciting enough for me without throwing myself off a bridge or a crane or out of an aeroplane. I just don't think I'd ever, EVER want to do anything like that. It's really quite nice being a wuss.

Hey Ruth .Are you the Ruth from the Beacon road cycling club who used to run an Audax event south of B'ham :?:

Just logged onto your links , and yes you are :oops: .Rode you 200k a few years ago,with one or two others from the DMRC.

BeaconRuth

Aye that's me. But it's a few years since I ran that Audax. Since then I've handed it on to a clubmate who has built it up into a very big event in the last 5 years or so - we get about 400 riders taking part now. June 15th this year if you're interested. Meanwhile, I ran our February 100km Audax events for a couple of years and now I've handed those on and have taken on our classic Beacon Little Mountain TT: http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/open_races/lmtt/index.html

How about some of you DMRC folks coming and riding that? I see Andy Eagers and Jim Hopper about from time to time but I'm not sure we've had any of the DMRC riding the Little Mountain in recent years.

I felt fine about the whole thing until I was standing there ready to go, jumped off fine making sure I looked good for the camera... then about 5 seconds in started screaming like a girl
