Emma 0 #1 May 10, 2001 Have any of you gone on the training camps run by Arizona Airspeed?I know they do 4-way training but I'm thinking about going solo...not sure if this would be as valuable as going with a team...Anyone got any ideas/feedback/experience?What's the ideal experience level to go on a camp like this?Emma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #2 May 10, 2001 Can't talk from experience, but I hear a guy at the DZ talking about his trip. He went for two weeks, made 50 jumps, and said that he was a "new" skydiver after that. He said that it was a HUGE help and that he would recommend it to anyone. They are real thorough and helpful and do a lot for you while you are there.Hope this helps a bit.MORE SKYDIVING PHOTOS ADDED!!!http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #3 May 10, 2001 Emma,I have never been but Airspeed hold regular training camps at the Windtunnel here and I hear they are very helpful. If you are going solo, I'm sure the tunnel would be a great place!Much love and blue skies,Carrie http://www.geocities.com/skydivegrl20/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff 0 #4 May 10, 2001 I did one of their camps last year, and I also went as a solo.It was GREAT - did 48 jumps in 9 days. Most of it was 4 ways, but the last couple of days were 8, 16 and then 32 ways from a DC-3 (single-file exit).The experience range was from 100 - 7000 jumps (I had 250ish then). The coaches were very good at putting together groups of compatible people, and they're very, very, relaxed and friendly guys - not at all skygod-ish.Even the least experienced people joined in the big-ways, and everyone tried randoms, blocks, different exit positions, etc.One of the benefits of NOT going with a team is that if necessary, the Airspeed guys jump with you to make the 4 ways. - I was lucky and did about half the 4 ways with Dan BC or Craig Girard.I'll probably go again some time, and I have to fly half way round the world!Learned SO much - definitely recommended.Geoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
