Skydive Vietnam Boogie - Organised by Extreme Sports Cafe & Mekong River Boogies
(c) International Skydiving Association. Nha Trang, Vietnam 2008.
A day of mixed emotions.. We got in the air for 3 wonderful jumps over the Vietnamese Landscape, and in doing so our participants, Extreme Sports Cafe’s staff and the Mekong River Boogie team claimed another World’s First. The first ever civilian skydives in Vietnam.
We are hoping that the storms predicted for the next few days are sporadic and simply allow us to take some breaks between more awesome skydives..
Our Mi8 chopper gave us around 11.5 thousand feet, and allowed us to jump over the coast of Nha Trang…
Unfortunately on the 3rd jump one of our participants had a small incident and landed hard. Luckily all of our jumps are beach landings, and despite some minor injury to one of his vertebrae he is in good sprits and on the mend. We wish him a speedy recovery and a safe trip home, and we’ll share a beer with him on a sunny beach somewhere in Asia again soon..
Here are a few pictures of the day to show the landing area and speedy setup for the first morning of jumping of the Skydive Vietnam Boogie.
A large number of people joined the ranks of our skydivers to do Tandems with Danniel Lee and Khun Winnai (RTAF).
