Even though Kyiv can be an adrenaline thrill by itself, getting the ultimate adrenaline kick
with an aura of the good old Soviet times, can be found only 15 kilometers outside of Kyiv,
at the Sport Complex ’Chayka’.
Here they offer dirt cheap parachuting. The Kyiv Post followed two first time jumpers, 32-
year-old Oleksandr Filippov and 25-year-old Asya Sutyagina, during a day at the small
parachute club.
Where: Sport Complex Chayka in Kyiv
When: Thursday-Monday in summer, when the weather is calm.
