CrazyIvan 0 #6 December 13, 2002 I'd use the money to JUMP and TRAINING, that's very important to me, what's the point of spending money in gear if you can't jump. __________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

ladyskydiver 0 #9 December 13, 2002 I'd pick tunnel camp. I want to get really good at RW, and from all that I've heard, tunnel camp would be a massive help increasing my skill set.Life is short!

Rookeskydiver 0 #10 December 13, 2002 I hate renting gear, i throw 70 bucks a week just on gear. So 1500 would get me started w/ a new container.

skybytch 259 #11 December 13, 2002 Tunnel camp. Why? Cuz Kate said it's worth every penny and that she learned a lot. She's been jumping for over 20 years; if she learned and improved a lot I can only imagine how much I'd learn and improve there. The extra couple hundred I'd use for additional tunnel time in the evenings after the regular sessions are done. If there was anything left over I'd buy my coach(es) a beer.

Gawain 0 #14 December 13, 2002 Tunnel Camp! Already got two hours under my belt and it was a total blast. The coaches are fantastic, the environment is charged and the results are big-time real. Did I mention the coaching is fantastic?"If you've the means, I strongly recommend it." - Ferris Bueller I'll nurse my gear until Jessica gives me another $1500.00 Did I mention the people are great, and the environment for training and fun make it worth every penny?! Good Stuff!!edit>> Did I mention it's worth every penny and the coaches are A1 cool?! So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

AndyMan 7 #16 December 13, 2002 Tunnel Camp. I've got all the gear I need, am already doing all the jumps I want to. I'm yet interested in my ratings. The one thing I've never done yet, and would improve my skills more then anything else, is tunnel time. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Vallerina 2 #17 December 13, 2002 I picked "Jumps" since I would use the money for packers, and hence, be able to jump more!There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cepheus 0 #19 December 14, 2002 I had to go with 'Other'. Funny that you use the figure '$1,500.' That's the exact amount I need to build myself an anti-bad-weather ray, that I would subsequently use to produce beautiful weather on demand. >>sigh<<-- Skydive -- testing gravity, one jump at a time.

narcimund 0 #22 December 16, 2002 That's about what I'm going to spend on my February trip to the Domincan Republic to participate in their Air Force Boogie.

Michele 1 #24 December 16, 2002 If I got $1500 but had to spend it on skydiving, I would, without doubt, get more of my gear. Since I will most likely be ordering a new harness, that's what I'd get. The extra $$ (if any) would go towards either more canopy coaching, or some RW coaching. I wish someone would send me $1500.
