chaoskitty 0 #1 March 7, 2004 With all the biching and complaning going about in the threads.. heres a place to say great things about your home dz, and other dz's where you have jumped. I love my home dz.. Tennessee Skydiving Center in Tullahoma, TN. All of the staff and jumpers kick ass. Nobody jumps solo unless they want to. Everyone is helpful and encouraging to students. We are constantly changing, yet staying the same, head in the clouds, down to earth good people. The learning never seems to stop.. and neither does the flow of beer.. shout out your dz yo..

ACMESkydiver 0 #5 March 7, 2004 I like Skydive Snohomish where I jump here in Washington...small and friendly and I NEVER have to look far to get some experienced peep's take on my jumps or advice. -Aggieland was too cool for school. Next time, Joe wil hafta come with me. I can't wait to party jump in Texas again!! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Lee03 0 #8 March 7, 2004 Thanks for trying Kitty, a nice attempt to start a positive thread about dropzones here, but with statements like this: "I'm still looking for a "home" DZ. I'm trying out Tecumseh next. However, I DON'T like ASC." it completely defeats your attempt to be positive, it ruins the whole thing for everybody, so I will pass on this, thanks for trying.-------- To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. --Nevil Shute, Slide Rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Jarcie 0 #25 March 7, 2004 I've only jumped at Adventure Center Skydiving in Hollister, CA, but once I get my A, I intend to try other places in the SF Bay Area. I like Hollister because people look out for each other. I've noticed that the staff and up jumpers keep a close eye on everyone, particularly on the students and low-number jumpers (like me), and I appreciate that. I've also met a lot of cool people, and that's one of the reasons I love skydiving. Skydivers rock! And... I like the fact that there are a ton of coaches who jump at my home DZ. Coaching always seems to be available if someone needs it. I may be getting spoiled, though: I'm now used to jumping from at least 15K (sometimes 18K), and having a huge landing area to accommodate my attempts to master accuracy. Thanks for starting this thread. No business is ever perfect, but I'm glad that there are people who want to run dropzones and teach other people to skydive.
