DAVID AND VICTORIA FREEFALL INTO 2007

SEND TO A FRIEND

3 JANUARY 2007

Style icon Victoria Beckham eschewed her usual cutting-edge couture to welcome in the New Year, donning goggles and flight suit instead to indulge in a spot of indoor skydiving with her family.

The former Spice Girl's husband David Beckham had forked out £1,200 to privately hire out the Airkix centre in Milton Keynes - where a 150mph wind tunnel recreates the exhilarating sensation of freefall parachuting. Sons Brooklyn, seven, and four-year-old Romeo spent 20 minutes with their mum and dad lying face-down on tables to learn the parachute manoeuvres before entering the wind tunnel.

"David and Brooklyn were both really good and were going up and down and forward and back and turning like proper skydivers," revealed an insider. "Posh and Romeo had a great time, but weren't as good."

After the 90-minute session the Real Madrid star bought souvenir photos of them all in action. Youngest son Cruz, one, will have to wait a few more years before he can join in the high-octane fun. He was looked after by an aide during the family adventure.
