Stuart Will go Nude Skydiving! Who in the UK will help!

[Danee]

As for the skydive, I need a place that'll let me do it naked!

Try Tandem Jump UK: http://www.tandemjump.co.uk/centres

Not sure if they'd let you do a naked tandem or if they're too far away from you, but ya never know!

BTW without a license you'd be out of luck here in the United States.......  sorry, I asked a couple DZMs. They said "no way" to either a tandem or AFF jump.
Of course ya gotta remember a tandem jump is real up close and personal, and nudity is always sexual of course......  

Ok!  Christine informed me of her research last week and I had not thought of a way of doing this, w/out contacting Stuart.  (we wanted to surprise him..)  Now that this info is public, could one of our members take upon themselves the responsibility of contacting these fine folk in the UK to enquire about Nude skydiving?  For a Naturist?  

For those that do not know what this is about, our resident Legend and photographer and mountain climber, Stuart of Scotland, advised us last year, that this spring or summer, if we arranged it, he would do the deed.  IE: Nude skydiving.    So, someone over in the UK?  Can we ask for some help in this regard?

And if anyone needs help understanding skydiving terminology or just wants to know if something sounds legitimate or not, let me know!

Anyone up here in Washington State, Oregon or Vancouver area of Canada interested in doing such, I would be lol.

In the United States you'd be hard pressed to find somewhere unless you're USPA-licensed...... the few places I've talked to said "absolutely not" to both a nude tandem jump or a nude AFF jump.
Gotta remember, nudity is *always* sexual....      There may be DZ's that allow it, but I haven't come across any.

Tandems are highly recommended for first-timers, some DZ's won't let you do anything else for your first time. AFF jumps are the semi-solo training jumps before you get licensed. To do a true solo jump you need to complete AFF training and pass a test to get licensed. If anyone's willing to wait a couple years, I'm planning on trying for a tandem-master license once I have the required # of jumps and pass the (very intense) exam.
Gotta give me time though......   Sorry to sound so business-like, but it's the reality of how strictly regulated the sport truly is. 
Besides, I just crashed again this past weekend and I'm experiencing better living through Vicodin right now......

It wasn't as bad as crashing into trees 50 feet above ground and getting stuck, was it? That's what happened to this lady. http://wcco.com/local/skydiver.tree.landing.2.1727430.html

All the more funny to me since when I lived in Minnesota that's where I used to go!  About 45 minutes from my house......

I noticed that jumps are "no bare feet" so Stuart won't be able to do it completely nude, check on the following picture for a proof:
