Skytower Pix

A few shots taken on the day of our Skyjump. Obviously anyone living in Auckland has seen all this before..

Looking out towards the start of the Auckland harbor bridge, which is just a little to the right of this shot.

Looking down through the glass floor of the towers main viewing deck. The point where you jump off is just beneath the deck, so this is pretty much the view we got before jumpage.

The harbor bridge, and loads of boats.

A shot out into the harbor, with Rangitoto island in the background. In the foreground you can see the ANZ tower, which was previously the Coopers and Lybrand tower - where I worked for a little while.

Some of the apparatus used for the Skyjump, and the gangplank you leap off.

Theres a little landing platform right at the base of the tower - it's such a soft landing, they have it measured so that you slow down during the last 20m or so, and in the end your feet touch down gently.. btw, Mr Poulter did the jump with me! (Actually it was his idea)

Ross,

Surely you have more constructive things to do with your time than throw yourself off NZ's largest building.... Like going to the gym!
