AAD - cost vs future progression

Recommended Posts

So where does that leave us? I believe that we're going to see current trends continue. That is the proliferation of vertical wind tunnels and people spending hours upon hours in them to hone their flying skills. This will continue in that people will physically jump less due to the costs. The rising costs will continue to cut out more of the sport's "tourists."




I don't think I agree with this 100%. I think we'll see the club dropzone come back onto the scene. I currently jump at a good club dropzone, and because of this we have cheap tickets, good gear, and a good, well maintained C-182. 15 years ago, we had some 8+ club style Dropzones in Kansas, now we are the only ones left. Now we have a few people trying to start them up again. They'll never have a PAC or an Otter, but it'll keep us jumping.
