flyingcanuck 0 #1 October 31, 2002 Unfortunately, work is sending me to Cancun for a month. In November. Life is rough and I was thinking skydiving would help pass all the free time I spend sober. Anyone out there on this whacky thing know anything about the d/z's in Mx? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enrique 0 #4 October 31, 2002 Yes. The DZ is actually in Playa del Carmen and one of the owner's name is Jerry (Mexican but fluent in English). He's a great flier (approx. 5,000 + jumps). I think they fly a C-182 (which sucks) but the view must be breathtaking. Have fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #7 October 31, 2002 Yeah. The DZO will personally lead me around and be my personal translator for the day. And all I have to do is give him quarters for tiny boxes of Chiclets every now and then. Dumbass. I saw that, but wanted to know about the DZ as a whole. Whatever. It isn't like I'm worried about my Spanish skills: Donde esta el banyo. Me gusta su madre. Or, in your case: Me gusta su ovejas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #8 October 31, 2002 Quote The DZO will personally lead me around and be my personal translator for the day. I wouldn't worry about it really.....I'm sure that most people with 100 miles of Cancun speak at least some English. Plus....it's a 182 DZ. It's not like you'll be on an Otter with 20 other people.

jfields 0 #9 October 31, 2002 Actually, I'm not worried about it. First of all, because I'm not going to Cancun. Quote Devolver me ovejas! Tu ovejas? Mierda! Pero, no muy importante. Tu estas me oveja, amigo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skygod7777 0 #15 October 31, 2002 the dz in playa del carmon rocks. the people are so cool. they are a tandem factory though. there main priority is the tandems. but the view is awsome. the dz is right in a mall. you have to walk over to the airport. then you land down the beach a ways away, and get a ride, from the dz people, back to the mall. now it's 30 bucks a jump, so you don't make too many (that is unless your like made of money) so after your jump you can go around the corner and your at senor frogs to have a drink. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good for you. Of course, when you aren't mad, he'd rather you stop talking and get physical then, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #22 November 1, 2002 QuoteWTF is that supposed to mean? OK....I'm writing Spanish with English grammar. Sorry.....I suck. It means "Go on Go and present. For you crazy relative workers."

Enrique 0 #23 November 1, 2002 It means "Go on Go and present. For you crazy relative workers." *** I would have never guessed! Specially the "regalo" part; in Spanish, "regalo" means "gift", but the translation of the kind of present you are talking about [pronounced presént in English] is presenta.
