Home Dropzone

What exactly is a home dropzone.. is it where you jump currently.. or is it where you did your AFF/static line/tandem progression...ect?



Your home DZ is a lot of things to a lot of people.
It could be where you did your student training, where you live...where you feel the most comfortable and have the most friends.
My home DZ has been gone for so long I feel like a displaced person.
If I was gonna pick a home DZ...it would be Lodi.

Home is where you hang your hat.... errrr... rig.
Ive had 4 'home' DZs over the past 5 years.
it all has to do with (for me):
vibe
friends
quality of jumps
aircraft
landing area
etc.

Ive been at my current DZ now for over a year. B|

You left them in Dallas dude!:D

For me my home dz is where i have done the bulk of my jumping. It is where i will end up jumping if there isn't anything special going on somewhere else.:)

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

I use whatever DZ I am a "Local" at. When leaving Zhills I was told I will always be a local there, but I know thats not true. Leave a DZ for a few years and when you go back only a few people you know will still be there.

I like that definition. My Home DZ happens to be all of the things mentioned. My life hasn't presented me the need or oppertunity to move somewhere else since I started skydiving. It's a change that I might have to make at some time, but I am mostly happy for now.
