I don't know if it's cheating to complete a 'thing to do' before actually buying the book or starting a blog but... I don't care. Sky diving inspired me to buy the book 101 things to do before you die.
On 13th September 2008, at sunrise I completed thing to do # 28 - Skydive.

- My first completion star.
Country - Byron Bay, NSW, Australia
Where did you jump -
Sky Dive Byron BayTandem or Solo - TANDEM - Tandem master was Dave
Were you nervous - I was rather nervous. I even wrote a suicide note incase I didn't make it to tell the story
Did you try to back out? - No, once I was all geared up and in the plane I was nothing but excited!
Top speed reached - approx 210km/hour
Did you land correctly - I think you should check out the video! (
Heres the link ) My landing was very smooth
Did you throw up? I threw up after it was over.. My museli breakfast didn't look so tasty 2nd time around. My friend, Skye threw up at 4,000 feet..poor girl

Freefall - approx. 45 seconds
Here's a photo for evidence:
