SmilingPhoenix 0 #1 November 22, 2006 Yes, this post is to make all of you jealous... I went to Spaceland yesterday and had a blast... I'm off to San Marcos Friday and my home DZ Skydive Houston on the weekend! How Sweet is that?! What is your record for visiting DZs?Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #2 November 22, 2006 I went on a road trip last summer, and I think I did five different DZs in a week ... Lodi, Byron, Hollister, Eloy, and Perris.(might have actually been a span of 8 days - Lodi was a Friday and I arrived at Perris the following Friday in time for sunset load)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

That sounds remarkably like my road trip ... 29 jumps, 6 DZs, three states. Too fun. I keep an overall count in my logbook and I think I'm at 20 DZs, 10 states, 2 countries."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

sdctlc 0 #8 November 22, 2006 A few years ago I did 3 DZ's in a day. Grabbed a plane in the morning and flew to 3 different DZ's and made at least one jump at each. Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #9 November 22, 2006 Well shit, if you're going to San Marcos, you could probably hit Coupland and Temple in the same day and make it three in one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkeenan 13 #11 November 22, 2006 I live in Titusville Fla. Skydive Space Center is about 10 min. from my house. Then there is: DeLand - 1 hr. North Sebastian - 1 hr. South Zephyrhills or Lake Wales - 1.5 hr. West Skydive Tampa, Skydive Palatka, and a few more are around if you want to drive a little farther. I think I've actually jumped at 3 DZs in one day. I have a short attention span, so it's perfect for me. Kevin_____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome... Can I be on your ash jump ?

peckerhead 0 #15 November 22, 2006 If you count demos I jumped at 5 different places in one day on the 4th of July back in the 80's Last year I went on a trip down under and jumped at 5 different DZ's in NZ and OZ in a two week period. 35 jumps total in two different countries and on both islands in NZ.

psychoswooper 2 #17 November 23, 2006 Once did 4 Drop Zones in 4 different countries (France, Switzerland, Spain, USA) on 2 different continents in one week. But it was actually more fun road-tripping a bunch of Florida DZs in a few days. Homestead, Titusville, Umatilla, Deland & Palatka. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L.O. 0 #18 November 23, 2006 Skydive Chicago, Rantoul, Skydive Wissota, Skydive Twin cities. 4 DZs, 100 jumps. Three weeks. Thats a normal july for me, is the not normal? Oh, I only payed for about 20 of them. No tandems.HPDBs, I hate those guys. AFB, charter member. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fenceline 0 #19 November 23, 2006 Hell, three DZ's in one day. 7 jumps total. Dispatched a student and jumped at the home DZ. Flew to another airport and made 3 jumps there. Flew to a neighboring airport to get fuel for the plane and jumped into there. Flew back to the second airport and did 2 more jumps into that. Turned down a jump into a skydivers large back yard. Looking back I should have done it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #20 November 23, 2006 QuoteI went to Spaceland yesterday and had a blast... I'm off to San Marcos Friday and my home DZ Skydive Houston on the weekend! With only 44 jumps, are you still renting gear? Is it safe to rent different rigs that often at your skill level? What about the different jump staff helping you out at each place, different airplanes, different landing topography, etc.? Would you progress faster if you stuck to one place more often? Just wondering... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
