SkyAnt 0 #1 January 21, 2005 Heading to the US in a few weeks stating in Los Angeles. What do you think would be the great DZ close to LA not just for aircraft but for cool friendly people aswell.

Evelyn 0 #3 January 21, 2005 Do you mean Los Angeles or Louisiana? If you mean Los Angeles I'd recommend Perris and Elsinore. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skysprite 0 #4 January 21, 2005 QuoteDo you mean Los Angeles or Louisiana? If you mean Los Angeles I'd recommend Perris and Elsinore. I've never been to Perris, but the couple of times I've been at Elsinore (once to jump and the rest just watching and helping out) people there were the best! Everyone was really nice, and it felt very home-y/friendly.~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn 0 #6 January 21, 2005 Yeah, Perris is the same way, at least I think so since Perris is my home DZ. Some people think Elsinore is friendlier being a smaller DZ, but I jump at both DZ's and I think they are both very friendly.

skysprite 0 #7 January 21, 2005 Cool... I'll have to make my way out to Perris one of these days. ~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #8 January 21, 2005 Yeah what Evelyn said. I spent a month at Perris and it blew my mind man. but with a tunnel right there be perpared to come back broke! I never got out to Elsinore but i only heard good things about it EDIT: to fix my spacing Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gordy 0 #9 January 21, 2005 I am a huge fan of Elsinore, and Perris rocks too, take your pick! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #10 January 21, 2005 If I recall correctly, the two dz's are within about a 20 min drive of each other. I think you should go to both! edited for Stumpy. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gordy 0 #11 January 21, 2005 Yip, and ideal day would be to start early at Elsinore, get a few in, then head to Perris and do another few, then head to the tunnel, then head to the bombshelter for s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blind_Jumper 0 #12 January 21, 2005 There are a good number of people that jump at both. But if you are looking for better planes...Elsinore has 2 otters. Where Perris has 2 otters and a skyvan. Both have had some really busy days letting people like me get in lots of jumps in one day. But Perris doesn't normally fly the skyvan during the week. I hope you have lots of fun on your trip, I might see you at either place not sure where I am jumping this weekend. I might just stay up here and go to Cal City...Not sure if I will be working with a cameraman or training on my own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laurie 0 #13 January 21, 2005 Actually, Perris has 3 Otters and the Skyvan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Conundrum 1 #14 January 21, 2005 Perris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkymonkeyONE 3 #15 January 21, 2005 Definitely Skydive Opelika. Technically, though, that DZ would be defined as "UCLA" or Upper Corner, Lower Alabama. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VanillaSkyGirl 6 #16 January 21, 2005 I would recommend going to both Perris and Elsinore, but make sure that you experience Elsinore on the weekends because it's not as active during the week as Perris can sometimes be. Personally, I favor ELSINORE because it is much more beautiful (view and DZ layout) and the people (both jumpers and staff) are the BEST. Since the 2 DZs are about 20 minutes away from each other, you should try to go to both. Not too many people who say "Perris is the best" or "Elsinore is the best" have been to both. Both are very different, but both have so much to offer. Also, don't forget to visit the tunnel in Perris with Elsinore coaches (many are hottie skychicks) or with coaches from Perris. I will be jumping more at Elsinore than Perris, now that I am going to jump regularly again (beginning tomorrow in a fun 10-way competition). I will be jumping at Perris every so often, as well, though, so I'll see you whenever you come out this way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkyAnt 0 #17 January 22, 2005 Cant wait to get out there and meet you all. I will probably stay out at Elsinore for the weekend of the 11-13 Feb (I think) it is and head out to Perris after that. Im easy to spot. Green and Yellow jumpsuit and the weird accent.
