I seen on another thread something about Boards Paintball

in the Spring or Summer

Yes. Yes please.

The closest Ive come to a decent ground rush was in one of those drop tower rides over in the states (suck you 130 foot in the air and drop you untill the last 15 meters where you decellerate hard).

Theres something about chucking yourself off though......aaaargh

Ill pack a spare pair of undies.

What I would Like to do is wherever we get the Most people Intersted where it be Dublin Cork or where ever ,,,,,,,, this is where we can have the Jump If we get a big enough area we can get the skaters and Bmx guys envolved make it into and event.

And if its tramore we can get the Water sports involved as sort of a land sea air get together

we can organise to have the Jump, if it happens ...........in the town and a suitable venue can be arranged .

I keep you all informed

Get back with feedback if you have any good ideas

I dunno if I'd bring myself to jump but it sounds good

It could possibly be held in conjunction of a bmx/skate/rollerblade event alright, I'll have a chat to a few folks, something just got built up in Bangor and there is something in the works for limerick, although having it done at the rds could be just as simple.

I'd love to give it a go (believe it or not I have mild vertigo!) but I have a defect in the veins in my left eye and I'd be very concerned about putting excessive blood pressure on it so I'd like to find out of there is a medical risk of me doing it (anyone know if there is a large increase in the blood pressure to the head?)

You could jump om a sit chest harness which is basically jumping in a parachute harness and the rope is conx to your stomach area so there is less pressure to the Head and eyes "personally my favourite way of jumping"

and lorax you have to be 16 - 55 to jump over 55 you will need a doctors cert
