LukeDuke 0 #1 June 4, 2003 Ok I just moved to Vegas and I had done alittle homework on the dropzones in the area, and had decided I wanted to jump skydive vegas instead of the gravity zone. I made a call to them about thirty days before moving and was told to come right over when I got into town. I show up and nobody is there. Could someone please fill me in on what happened. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy2 0 #2 June 4, 2003 just hazarding a guess here but is it a full time DZ? Some DZs dont operate certain days of the week. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #7 August 25, 2005 well I guess I can update this VERY OLD POST. SKYDIVE LAS VEGAS has closed too. Don't think it will be a permenant thing but I never though it would close in the first place. so who knows. again, this had nothing to do with safety. from what I understand It had to do with politics and business decisionsMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know brent or what happened all I know is what is in the rumor mill. and that is is. so if he gets an A/C he'll be up and running again. but it doubt it will be at full capacity for a whileMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bozo 0 #15 August 25, 2005 Quotewell as far as I know they have all the equipment but the a/c and hangar was taken from them.

Hawkes showed up early last week locked and chained all the planes down. The rumor is that, he says....Hawkes....they were operating unsafe. Thats a load of bullshit. I know half the TI out there and they are all highly experienced safe guys. Oh well.....as the world turns. bozo bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

It has NOTHING to do with safety or finances. I know most people on here don't care, but for those that do, when things finally get straightened out I will get the story out. Until then, please don't ask. Remember, don't ever forget why you started skydiving.
