For my Christmas present this year, I was given a voucher for me and a friend to go indoor skydiving and a 120ft freefall jump. So nearly seven months later I finally got round to doing it. 
We woke up ready for the 2 and 1/2 hour journey to Bedford full of excitement and nerves.
First up was Vertigo, the 120ft jump, you start off by ascending up in the small lift, going eight at a time and then climbing the final 20 foot with a ladder. You then one by one get harnessed up and on three, throw yourself over the edge. Here is the video of myself jumping. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myRRDINywWo[/youtube]
It was an amazing experience, but very nerve racking, seemed incredibly high for only 120ft. Have asked my Uncle who lives in Hong Kong to book me a ticket for a similar thing but off Macau Tower which is 750ft tall. :lol:
Next up was the indoor skydiving, which was very remembral, it was a lot harder to master then I thought it would be and i ended up having to be pulled down a lot of the time. My friend ended up kicking his instructor in the head by accident lol. And there was much dribbling due to the huge speeds of the wind! I would recommend both to everyone who loves a thrill or two as it is well worth the money! Anyway onto some pictures! I am the guy in the red!
