Who jumps at Crosskeys, Ranch and or SDLI?

I have a few questions for a local to any or all of these places.

Trying to plan my trip to NY.

I've jumped at both CK and The Ranch, The Ranch is home and I worked for CK for a season. I can help you.

Sure can,
I pm'd ya.

Anyone else?
SDLI?

My questions include some of the local rules about a visiting jumper requesting to film two tandems he brings to their dz.


I plan on bringing about 5 tandems but I want to film two of them.

Quick snapshot of my credentials.
AFFI/Videot with about 400 tandem videos at skydive mesquite and at the Air Force Academy.

visit my youtube account if you wanna see some of my footage. youtube/jtval27.com
type in skydive mesquite. most of the tandems that pop up prior to march 2008 are my footage.

I have jumped at SDLI a few times and love it. The staff there is great, it's a friendly DZ. The view is the best in NY, as you can see the entire end of LI surrounded by water. Not a lot of experienced jumpers there tho. I'd recommend it. One down side is that it is kind of a bitch to get out there, not a problem if you have a car.

Cool... keep in mind that they usually give you free jumps for every tandem you bring with you at SDLI, not sure about the others.

I actually enjoy the train ride or road trip out there.

Nice. Now if they'll let me film two of the tandems I think LI may b the easiest way for me to go.

BTW- I am about to go jump for 2 weeks over cape canaveral. I CANNOT wait to see that view again.
