The day before the rest of Australia went to the polls, I decided to go skydiving in a tandem jump for the first time. It’s something Ive always wanted to do but it’s also something I’ve been incredibly scared to do. We’re in New Zealand at the moment and if your going to skydive anywhere this is the place. The views are brilliant! Not only that but I was told the highest you can jump from in AUst is 14,000 feet but in NZ it is 15,000 (just over 4.5KM). I went with a crew NZONE. Incredibly professional and extremely process driven. I was impressed with the business setup and practices before I was impressed with their actual skill at the job.
Like most of the times I have experienced extreme fear in my life I have found that if you can push through it, the outcome can be amazing. I know it’s what all the self help gurus preach but it also happens to be true. In the video below the look on my face for the most part is pure unadulterated fear but once I was in freefall the experience was amazing and one I would highly recommend. If you’ve ever thought about doing a tandem jump but have been too fearful like I was, DO IT! It’s amazing (however if it goes horribly wrong don’t blame me
) I hope you enjoy the vid.

Looks really fun! I’ll have to pop over to Kiwi land one day and have a jump.
If you ever get the chance DO IT! Highly recommended
