DesertDevil 0 #1 January 22, 2008 Does anyone know how high the balloon goes for balloon jumps in Eloy and how much it costs to jump from it? Do they let people jump from the balloon with BASE rigs? Or does anyone know who I could contact who might have this information about the hot air balloon? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. the rig question is best left up to Gary Peek, as he seems to be the authority on that. haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #8 January 22, 2008 Can you jump your base right from a jump plane? No. Why would it be any different from a balloon piloted by a ticket holding pilot."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hobie331 0 #9 January 22, 2008 Last January it was $70 and I got out at 5800. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSHusky 0 #10 January 22, 2008 Last January it was really cold (like 40 degrees!) at 8 am and I was able to get out at 7,000 ft. Plus since there was no wind some of our group made it back to the dz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
