Indoor Skying
Indoor Skydiving
is the amazing freefall simulation experience created by floating over a
powerful vertically mounted fan.
Ever wanted to go
skydiving but didn't like the idea of jumping out of a plane. Indoor skydiving
may be the answer. You don't need a parachute in this ultimate freefall
experience. You can go indoor skydiving and feel the exhilaration of unlimited
freefall without even boarding a plane or leaving the building.
Indoor Skydiving
involves being in a vertical windtunnel, and floating on a powerful updraft of
air. The walls of the indoor skydiving chamber are transparent, so that others
can watch you while you have a most uplifting experience!
The
impressive structure has been designed and built specifically for indoor
skydiving and bodyflying. The tunnel employs state of the art technology which
accurately controls the environment inside the tunnel.
Skydiving
Skydiving and
parachuting is the art of hurling yourself from a height and safely floating to
the ground using a canopy to slow your descent. The initial freefall before the
parachute opens is quite exhilarating. Some people get a rush from the more
extreme sport of base jumping, where you jump from a high cliff with a
parachute and open the parachute at the latest possible moment. Although this
is a serious adrenalin rush, there are significant risks of not only hitting
the cliffs, but also misjudging when to open the parachute.Skydiving typically
involves jumping out of an aircraft from a height of 4000 metres. If you are
going to have a freefall experience, then you will be in control of when to
pull the ripcord which will open your parachute. For beginners and those who
have been given a skydiving gift, you will normally have a static line
parachute jump. For a static line parachute jump, the ripcord of your parachute
is attached to a line in the airplane. When you exit the aircraft, your
parachute will automatically open for you.
Wing walking
Wing walking is an
aerial sport where you are strapped the a frame on the wing of a plane and then
perform various moves whilst the plane flies at speed in front of an audience.
You can nowadays
have your very own wing walking show. You can invite friends and family to
watch you as you demonstrate your thrill seeking nature by showing off your
wing walking skills on the top of a biplane. Before you take off, you will get
a complete wing walking lesson, at the end of which you'll be a qualified
wingwalker who knows all about the required hand signals, using the frame on
the wing and harnesses.
Wing Walkers must
be at least 18 years old, be between 1.52m and 1.83m and weigh less than 82.5kg.
If you are over 65 you will need to provide a doctors note stating your
suitability for the activity. You need to be able to climb up to the top wing
of the aircraft .
Climb Sydney Harbour Bridge
Climb Sydney Harbour Bridge
I
still remember I climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge with my friends on 2/9/2014.
First I want to introduce the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Sydney
Harbour Bridge is located in the nice and iconic Sydney Harbour, it connects
the south and the north Sydney, which cars, bikes, trains and people can cross
over the bridge. The Harbour Bridge boasts 8 traffic lanes, 2 railways and a
pedestrian and bicycle lane, it starts from the Central Business District (CBD)
to the North Shore.
We
were 4 people included me went in the small room, there were other people in
the room, they also climbed together with us. When we finished signing the
forms, we started dress the specified clothes. We were all excited and talked
with other people, they were all tourist and that was their first time came to
Sydney. 2 people from London, 1 from America, 3 from Hong Kong. Then we
needed to put our private things in the lockers. After that, we had to follow
the tutor practice how to climb the bridge up and down. Next step was climbing
the bridge. We could see the beautiful Sydney Opera House and the people looks
like ants on the grass. I could see the cars under my feet. On the top of
the bridge, I could the whole scene of Sydney. We couldn’t bring anything on
the bridge, the tutor helped us take photos and tell us the history of the
bridge. But we just could climb the half of the bridge, I hope next time I can
climb the whole bridge.
I was
so happy and that was my first time climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
