This ultimate adventure company specializes in tandem skydiving, clients are firmly attached to staff members. The Tandem Master takes care of pulling the ripcord to allow clients to focus on screaming, praying, and otherwise "enjoying" the plummet. If simply hurtling to the ground at 200 km/hour isn't exciting enough, your master can add a few high-speed turns to further test your mettle. The Ranch also has jumping cameramen to provide video evidence for those back home. Group rates are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

There is a nominal fee to take part and for a little more you can get some beer too at the end of the "race". Contact the club for info on the next run. Review © 2007, Wcities |
