skydiver30960 0 #2 June 1, 2005 Got a couple buddies that usedta jump at Mohawk Valley. They really liked it, good small DZ vibe. Good bunch of Rodriguez Brothers up there too, so if you haven't been initiated yet... Elvisio "too cold up there for me" Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tumbler 0 #3 June 2, 2005 Duanesburg is my home DZ. It is about as small as small can be! We have 1 182 that runs on the weekends and will run on the weekdays if tandems or students are there... otherwise it sits idle unless there are 4 jumpers to fill the slots. It is a great place with great people, just not many of us. Call the DZ before you go out to see if anyone is going up... I have not been over to the valley but some folks jump between both. I have heard nothing but good things about the folks at the Valley.. the only possible drawback is there are very few outs (again that is second hand!) If you do head out drop me a PM and I will see who else can go on Thursday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, first I did a static line with them, and then AFF I. I was a college student, and I knew I didn't have the money for certification, but I had to experience a freefall, so I did it with them! My jumpmaster was Bob Raeche. I don't know if he is still around there. I had a great time. They were a C-182 DZ back then. No idea what the place is like now, but have fun whatever you decide to do!
