Squeak 17 #1 April 16, 2004 There are 2 polls running at present of Currency jumps and how/whether you log them so: For those lot that have seasonal skydiving. Does your DZ offer refreshers courses Is are they free or do they charge PR marketing would sugest that it's safer and good marketing to offer them gratis what's the go on the groundYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headoverheels 291 #2 April 16, 2004 We don't have a start of season. Things are slower during the rainy/cool winter, but there's jumping straight through. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 291 #6 April 16, 2004 Mid winter, I'd go for somewhere warmer with more sure clear weather, if I were travelling anyway - Eloy comes to mind. I'm local to Lodi, and there's been plenty of good days for jumping this winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerryfuss 0 #7 April 17, 2004 My home DZ not open yet but they do have a Safety day coming up May 1st. That will be somewhat of a refresher plus any one with an A CoP or solo certificate recieves a free coach jump for attending. I guess that coach jump could be used as a refresher jump. So not a offer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dmbale 0 #8 April 18, 2004 I technically started AFF at the end of the "season" in Colorado but I have gotten 82 jumps in the past six months. (only two were not at my home DZ). Not bad for Colorado. I also know that I am new enough to the sport that I jump when it is cold out (silk long underwear, polartec with neoprene and a balacava)...there have only been a handful of times I have been really cold and only a handful of times where we didn't have enough people for a Caravan load. I guess I don't see any reason not to keep current over the "off" season.

If you can't make that one (or maybe there are a couple more) you can sit in on a FJC but that'll cost you, not as much as a full course tho.
