flyingferret 0 #1 October 13, 2005 I will be in the bay area for work Oct 25th-30th. And I want two things time permitting: Great Sushi and A Jump Time will be tight, so it will probably just be a jump, and probably on rental gear. I will be visiting clients in Modesto, Fremont, Napa, and MAYBe Sacremento. So, where can I get awesome sushi? And, where can I rent a semi elliptical 170ish rig to jump?-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #2 October 13, 2005 Sushi-Tokyo Sushi (my favorite) as well as Osaka Sushi is in Davis, coincidentaly so is Skydance Skydiving, and Action Air where you could probably rent that 170 thingy you asked for. Davis is about 20 miles west of Downtown Sacramento---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

flyingferret 0 #3 October 13, 2005 Ja, I asked them, cause I have heard good things...they only have a 190 and up. It might still be the best option, just wanted to ask around.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #4 October 13, 2005 Lodi is the closest dz to Modesto. Sacramento is close to both Lodi and Davis. Davis is the closest dz to Napa. Byron is closest to Fremont. Dunno what availability of rental gear is at Lodi but I think Action Air at Davis has something suitable available and I'd bet that Bonnie at Gravity Gear in Byron would have something too. Davis is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, Lodi is open 7 days a week, don't know about Byron. Can't help ya with the sushi thing, sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sclosoma 0 #7 October 17, 2005 Lodi has a ton of rental gear and it is all pretty new, everything from a 135 triatholon to a 260 triatholon and its only 35 dollars to rent it."Don't mistake common stupidity for common sense" -Bill Dause Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #8 October 17, 2005 QuoteLodi has a ton of rental gear and it is all pretty new, everything from a 135 triatholon to a 260 triatholon and its only 35 dollars to rent it. Unless things have changed from last year, that's 20 for the rig rental (including pack) and 15 for the jump ticket. With nearby Byron at 30 for the rig alone, thought it important to mention. And the container is a wings. The nicest of the containers I rented in CA last year, leading to me buying it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StearmanR985 0 #9 October 18, 2005 I think Lodi is using some Aerodyne rigs now. And it is still $35 for the rig and jump ticket combined. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iRieFrEefALL 0 #10 October 18, 2005 Blowfish Sushi on Santana Row (Awesome bars too), http://www.blowfishsushi.com/webform1.aspx?bhcp=1 and of course the best place (in my opinion) to get a jump in is hollister. about 45 min south of San Jose, King Air, and great staff. (I dont think they have any semi-eliptical canopies available for rent though) http://www.1800funjump.com Check it out man, it would truly be a great time.

flyingferret 0 #12 October 20, 2005 Does this place: Adrenaline Air Skydiving of Santa Rosa still exist? Got them off USPA, website is dead, phone number is dead.

flyingferret 0 #14 October 20, 2005 Damn, I really dont want to drag me rig, but I got a different city to sleep in every night, and some DZs are only on the weekend, some don't have gear.

Sebazz1 2 #15 October 20, 2005 When in Sacramento and your still feining for a jump go to either Davis or Lodi. You'll find something to rent at either place i am certain. When in Fremont you most definately need to head over to Byron as that will be zee closest from there... Sushi you ask? Hmm.. I can not help you there unless you find yourself in the Palo Alto area... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #16 October 20, 2005 Even though the ocean view was nice (did probably half of my 104 jumps there), alas but they are gone. Besides, if you are in Napa, Davis is only a little over 30 min away if traffic isn't bad. Just go there and rent from action air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #17 October 31, 2005 Well...I never got to jump. The weather sucked when I was by Lodi, and the rest of the time, did not feel like driving out of the bay area and back for a single jump. Good news: Blowfish rocked. The atmosphere was awesome. Amazingly, the sushi is on par with some nice creative sushi places here in Texas, I was pretty proud of that. In any case, appetizer, to sashimi, to rolls all were excellent, spent a couple hundred bucks between myself and a coworker. Thanks for the recommendation.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyingferret 0 #19 November 3, 2005 I forgot to add, if you are ever there, check this place out in Oakland: http://www.quinnslighthouse.com/aboutus.html Very damn cool ambience, funky nautical pub. Great service, great food, and on Thursday nights: Skip Henderson and the Starboard Watch pirate band. AWESOME!-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.
