In Kamloops every year, there's a jump week, where for cheap, you can get enough jumps in to keep your certifications.<br /><br />Try parapenting some time. There are ski hills now where you can take a gondola up, and a parapent down in the summer. Parapent's are more like a slow, wearable glider, than a parachute.Jay Farquharsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335226520940843630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-47964002400704078142016-07-30T23:49:59.712-04:002016-07-30T23:49:59.712-04:00It was a tandem jump (I guess that is what you mea...It was a tandem jump (I guess that is what you mean by a paired free fall). But I was super-lucky. There were a lot of people that day, and somehow I got stuck with an attractive lady instructor. But it was only after the jump that I realised that she was a good looking babe. :)War News Updates Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034101783150523332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-65469531292802837632016-07-30T23:19:31.352-04:002016-07-30T23:19:31.352-04:00WNU Editor,

Back in the day, bought a parapent, so I didn't have to climb down the same mountains I had climbed up.Jay Farquharsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335226520940843630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-47707734341075445632016-07-30T23:13:51.224-04:002016-07-30T23:13:51.224-04:00Oh great... precision guided suicide bombers!Oh great... precision guided suicide bombers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966485299899285868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-57456202648874478092016-07-30T22:54:22.993-04:002016-07-30T22:54:22.993-04:00I agree 10,000%!I agree 10,000%!Jacnoreply@blogger.com
