" A HUGE thank you to Jezza at Makingtrax and the Skydiving Kiwis team for their outstanding service and willingness to help us wheelchair riders experience the wonder of free fall action. It was one of the craziest and best things I have done and definitely recommend it to other wheelchair riders to have a go. The feeling of freefall was incredible and then floating through the sky was surreal. The skydiving Kiwis team made me feel completely safe and were really informative so I knew what was going to happen at all times. The harness system is really clever, it lifts up your legs so you are in kind of a sitting position and when you come in to land you basically don't touch the ground until you are stopped and sitting on it. I absolutely can't wait to get out there and do it again"

"On Saturday the 30th of March I had the opportunity to go skydiving with Makingtrax and Skydiving Kiwis. Many people get this chance as well, but after become a tetraplegic two years ago I definitely did not think it was something I would be able to do, until of course, I was approached by Jezza. He explained he had discovered a safe way for me to be able to experience the amazing feeling of flying! I couldn't resist.

To my delight my jump was even going to be sponsored. How could I say no?

On the morning I was pretty nervous but the Makingtrax and Skydiving Kiwi crew put me at ease and had created a really positive and fun vibe that turned my nerves into excitement. Being able to participate in this awesome activity made me feel "normal" for a bit and do something that I never in a million years thought I'd be able to do in a wheelchair.

I highly recommend this to anyone with a disability. It has certainly opened my eyes and I will definitely be trying other activities with Makingtrax.

Thank you, one of the most amazing thrills I've had in my life."
