QuoteSDA is always a good choice, I like going there.
And we always enjoy having you

You'll have a great time no matter where you go (SDA or The Farm). Skydive Atlanta is my home and while we always have some RW folk lurking about we've got a lot of FF'ers too.
Generally The Farm is a slower pace but more scenic than SDA, and SDA gets a bunch of loads up fast with no bus ride. Either way you can't really lose.
Just depends what you're looking for.
Have fun!

The Farm's most definitely the place to go! Unless you are a complete introvert and don't like partying with a bunch of gorgeous girls and some great guys.
I've only been there once, but it was certainly one I'm glad I didn't miss!

ASC is the ONLY way to go dude. The farm will underwhelm you uttlery with their lack of load numbers and lift capacity. Even if you don't choose ASC, Skydive Atlanta would be your next option for load numbers.
QuoteQuoteThe Farm would be my first choice. Skydive Atlanta or Monroe next. ASC would be my last choice of any dropzone in the country.
Amen!
Why exactly is ASC your last choice? So far it's only gotten one recommendation on this thread and two "I'd go there if every other dropzone in the country shut down" votes, which isn't exactly what I'd call an endorsement.
Well, the door was open...

I'm with them. If you do a search for people's impressions of the owners of ASC (and 1800skyride) you'll understand why a fair amount of us aren't interested in giving them a single dime.

That has nothing to do with my recommendation. I even have a few friends at ASC, but I spent three days at The Farm and had one of the best times ever and we got weathered out Sunday! If your looking for a place to jump, jump, jump and then go home then any big DZ will do.
But if you want to go and spend a day at a new DZ and not feel like the new dude that everyone ignores then The Farm's the place. Hans and Lee and the rest of the gang over there will welcome you in like you're one of the crew. I can't say that for many other DZ's.
My first choice would be the Farm. My second would be the Farm, my third would be to stick my own thumb up my ass. Nuff said?

In fairness to Skydive Atlanta, haven't been to that one. There is enough distance from where I hail from that the Farm is MUCH closer. I love the Farm, great group of people that have fun before and after the Beer (yes that word should always be capitalized!) light comes on. Great Job Hans!

I'm just teasing ya . The Farm is a cool place.
I've always said each DZ in the Atlanta area offers a very unique skydiving experience. They really are all different but generally have good vibes (SDA and The Farm specifically)

Plane = yes SDA has the super fast king air, but the caravan doesn't suck
Best Landing Area = Rome (huge airport with lots of grassy areas, no worries of crosswind landings, unless you like them) / SDA isnt bad either / & i like jumping in to The Farm (i dig the funnel)
Good Vibe = (in my experience) Rome, SDA, The Farm
just another view to consider...
Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!
I gotta disagree with Kele on this:
SDA is Great (and so is there landing area) but you could put 4 or 5 landing areas that size in the Rome DZ. and nothing compares to the scenery around that DZ located in the Foot Hills. Rome has 650 Acres of Open Landing area with outs everywhere.
Rome is a Smaller DZ that is VERY focused on Students and Low time Jumpers. They are about 15 Miles north of the FARM and ASC. They have some of the Friendliest people on the planet that are all about helping new Jumpers get started in the sport. They have Fewer up jumpers than other DZ`s because they have been a cessna DZ for the past year but that is changing and they are now bringing in larger aircraft (Thanks to The Farm). I have gone back and forth between the two DZs many times on the same day and jumped at both (20 minute drive) several times.
Atlanta has Many Great DZs.
a lot of the Jumpers move around between the DZ`s. It makes for a great place to skydive when you can goto anyone of the DZ`s and always be able to find someone you know.
When Monroe or SDA call a Boogie, alot of people from the Farm will be there. And this weekend many Jumpers from SDA and Monroe will be at the Farm. ALL the Jumpers from Rome will be at the Farm as they decided to bring the entire DZ to the Farm for the Boogie.
Monroe, SDA, The Farm or Rome.. You cant go wrong with any of them. They are all great.
