Trent 0 #1 August 25, 2002 Skydive Spaceland in Rosharon, Texas has just outfitted their haul-ass Super Otter with one of the nicest oxygen setups I've ever seen. We just finished flying the first "test" load with this system and had an 80 second freefly jump from 21,000 feet! Belly fliers are getting 105 seconds! Their planning on doing high altitudes whenever they can fill a manifest sheet for one, so come on out and get HIGH HIGH. The price should be around $36, much lower than what I've paid before at other DZs. Think of the bigway possibilities.....Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #2 August 25, 2002 ooooh I am so excited! I always wanted to do a high-alti jump, just to say I did it. Perry is moving his trailer down to Spaceland so we will be there probably 2 weekends a month, maybe more who knows. We will be down there either next weekend (Labor Day) or the weekend after. See you then! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

INSANEDADDY 0 #5 August 26, 2002 What kind of license do you need to do a HALO jump? I have always heard you need a "D"........ You dont't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when.......You can only decide how you're going to live........NOW. -BASE 1605 Night BASE 227 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #6 August 26, 2002 *giggle* O2 is for wusses.... Come play with me you can go to 18(MSL) every weekend for the low low price of $20. Hmmm.....You may need a bigger canopy though Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin922 0 #7 August 26, 2002 Wonder what you could get with a wingsuit.. guess you would need O2 strapped to you wouldn't you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rachill 0 #8 August 26, 2002 A guy on the "test" load jumped a bird man suit and his pro-trac would only read up to 119 sec of freefall time, so he isn't sure exactly how long he got. I think you have to have a C license to do the high alt. jump. I know I had a blast and can't wait to do it again! I got 79 seconds of freefall time and I was FF! Come on everybody..... come out and lets go up! BooYa#1 GR#50 You might be a skydiver if...

Rachill 0 #10 August 26, 2002 QuoteDoes that include UK jumpers? If not, whats the ruling there? I don't have any idea....... sorry I just heard that you had to have a C license or 100 jumps. But that's just what I heard... Do you have 100 jumps? Come to Spaceland and jump! BooYa#1 GR#50 You might be a skydiver if...
