Skydive Fargo

Hey, guys. I have an opportunity to jump at Skydive Fargo soon. I’ve had great interaction and communication with them thus far. But, just wanted to see if any fun jumpers have had any experiences (good, bad, indifferent) there?

I live 3.5 hours north of them in Canada. I've been down there to visit several times. It's a nice friendly club style DZ where they love visitors and treat people well. Can't say enough good things about them.

Just replied to your other post...

I jump in Fargo. Are you signed up for a FJC?

I hope you are not planning on just showing up for a recurrency jump.

Hi, ufk22 — I’ve been in conversation over the past month with Hans planning this out. Appreciate the warm welcome (sarcasm).

This isn’t about a non-warm welcome, this is about you and your safety.

You’ve got 30 some jumps, a 2 year layoff, and you were seriously injured on your last jump.

My point is you should take the FJC, not just plan on some review and a jump.

You yourself commented on how uneasy you felt about your canopy skills in your other post. 

Just my recommendation.

As an C-E, a S/L I-E, and a AFF D-E.

Wow.  I think you over-reacted.
