OT - Music to jump out of a plane to

[azzy_wazzy]

Well Larry wins the award for making me snort the most whilst reading your suggestions

Though I now know how young I really am as I didn't recognise a lot of the songs Some learning to be had there methinks

I think it's going to have to be an eclectic mix - and if Trev can film me before and after too, there should be enough film to cobble together an album's worth. Trev was going to be the sole cameraman - and film as much as he could see from the ground, but I think I will pay the £85 to have a proper video done

Eeep - Trev is reading out my paperwork and I have to steer the damn parachute... and I'm being chucked out from at least 10,000 feet (which means it could be higher ) and we freefall to 5,000 at 120mph Let's hope for the love of all that is good that the parachute opens at this point!

I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!!!!!!!

Youtube footage will be posted on Saturday night once we've cobbled it all together in iMovie.

And once again, thankyou guys SO MUCH for all of the donations you've made - you lot seem to have more faith in me than people who claim to know me and your generosity continues to have me stunned - and the money will make a big difference to a lot of very sick kids - so thanks

Make sure to empty your kidneys before take off Azzy.


There is a potential song or two going to be formed just from your experience.

Don't sweat the jump. It will be fun.

I know I'll want to do it all over again once I've done it - it's just a fear of the unknown, even though I'm really looking forward to it and know it will all be ok

You lot are just the best

Bowels too!

Good luck!

 

[SharonG]

What a rush - it will be glorious!! Here's to great weather for you!!

I think Ace of Spades by Motorhead would work nicely...

Giving it some thought...

A Message to you Rudy by The Specials
Rock N Roll Led Zep
So Lonely, The Police
Seven seconds, Yousso Ndour/Neneh Cherry
Stranded in the jungle, NY Dolls
Any Ramones song

Or the one I always sing when I'm 1% from total failure on MTB downhill: Highway To Hell, AC/DC.

Have a nice jump, Azzy! I've never tried it, but I have bungied some, and so I think I know the initial feeling

I'm thinking "Learn To Fly" by the Foo Fighters.

no no, Learning To Fly by Pink Floyd!

A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
...
Theres no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

A lot of gravity references in there!

"Vapor Trails" by Rush is a pretty good song.

Also,FREEBIRD!

Not really.

Have fun, Azzy!

I jumped for my 27th Birthday (that was a loooong time ago). I remember them playing that Headbanger's Ball theme (Prong?)

 

[tiffles]

hope im not too late...and sorry if someone suggested it...

Shes so high originally by Kurt Nilsen but performed by Tal Bachman. love it

GO YOU CRAZY GIRL. remember im jealous!!!

 

[tkarter]

Freebird made me think of one.


"Another brick in the wall" or is that "hey teacher"?


it works cuz it will be playing from the time you jump until you land. And then you will see.

Not too late hun - fingers crossed I'll have done the jump in 24 hours time... I rang the airfield and they suggested getting there as close to 7am tomorrow as possible so I'm going to get there bright and early and try to be one of the first of the 80 jumps that they've got to get through tomorrow!

If you don't hear from me by Sunday, you know something's happened

 

[Bill]

Good luck, Azzy! You'll do just fine!

 

[azzy_wazzy]

Guys - it's 5:50 in the morning and I'm being picked up in 40 minutes... to make things worse I walked into the living room and stubbed my foot on my MM case, so now my feet hurt...

And I'm absolutely crapping myself! Waaa! Haven't had a wink of sleep!

This seemed like SUCH a good idea at the time...

 

[SteveB]

Good luck, Azzy! I can't wait to read about it after I wake up! (It's 1:14am here and I'm about to retire..)
