bseriesboosted 0 #1 October 4, 2004 i was just wondering because i have only been to ASC in cedertown and they have an awesome setup im just curious of other places to jumpPruitt Skydive The Farm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #2 October 4, 2004 Honestly, they're all good. Each dropzone brings it's own flavor to the mix, and each DZ has their pros and cons. My suggestion to you would be to visit each one for a weekend and see which one "feels right" for yourself. When you come to Thomaston (skydive atlanta) let me know and I'll show you around.

mgerra28 0 #3 October 4, 2004 My home DZ is the Farm. So i will have to go with thats the best..lol Thomaston is an awesome DZ as well. their king air is one of the fastest climbing alongside Mullins. I will be at Thomaston with a load of us from Tally for the halloween boogie so perhaps check it out then along with the roaming DZ crowd. the roaming Dz lot will be the ones surrounding a camper with free jello shots thats if jay and chiquita will be there.http://www.skydivethefarm.com don't sweat the small stuff, in fact don't sweat at all,, you get smelly!!

bseriesboosted 0 #4 October 4, 2004 yea i have been to asc and its great but i was thinking of trying the farm because they have cheaper tandems and i need to do a few more before i start affPruitt Skydive The Farm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #5 October 4, 2004 You should also consider Georgia Skydiving Center in Rome about 20 miles up the road. They are a smaller operation than they were a few years ago but it is still one of the Friendliest DZ you will ever visit with a HUGE Landing area and incredible scenery. The Farm is also great DZ that is right next to ASC. They have a much better landing area and great group of regular jumpers. Thomaston and Monroe both have excellent reputations and make good alternatives depending on what side of Atlanta you live on. I personally find many of ASC`s business practices unethical and therefore choose not to jump there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bseriesboosted 0 #6 October 4, 2004 yea they do have some hidden fee's like we made reservations for 4 people at 130 each we got there and then had to pay an extra 10 bux to go from 9000ft to 14000Pruitt Skydive The Farm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #7 October 4, 2004 I made a lot of jumps in Monroe and Thomaston. But now choose Monroe as the DZ of my choice for GA. (But I will admit I haven't been in a while, work you know) MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgerra28 0 #8 October 4, 2004 wow never heard of that crap before... If your planning on jumping this week-end i will be at the farm shooting video. All the tandem guys there are very proffesional and funny. But i do love the Fram and so do a few people from down here in florida. We don't mind the 4 hour drive each week. If your at the farm this week-end plan on camping out. Thats when the fun starts......http://www.skydivethefarm.com don't sweat the small stuff, in fact don't sweat at all,, you get smelly!!

bseriesboosted 0 #9 October 4, 2004 camping at a dz that has to be great fun i may ride down just to check stuff out and hang outPruitt Skydive The Farm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #10 October 4, 2004 You can also camp at Skydive Atlanta. Although you'd better hurry . . . it's starting to get cold. If you're looking for nice, safe landing areas, you can't beat SDA (well, not in GA, anyway). We also have a laid-back atmosphere during the day, with lots of partying at night. But like Ian said, try them all and get a feel for which one you like. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bseriesboosted 0 #11 October 4, 2004 yea I talk to my buddy and we are going to go to the farm on the 23rd and probably akydive atlanta a week or so after maybe i will see you there...Pruitt Skydive The Farm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheenster303 0 #12 October 4, 2004 Halloween weekend Skydive Atlanta is having its annual Freefly Festival. I've heard it's an awesome party. There is a thread about it a couple spots down from this one.I'm so funny I crack my head open! P.M.S. #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingJ 0 #13 October 4, 2004 QuoteIf your planning on jumping this week-end i will be at the farm shooting video. I thought you and your lovely new bride were heading up to Harvest Moon this weekend? Glad to hear you'll be hanging at the Farm. Planning a late arrival on Friday again? I should be getting there around 10:30. bseries - if you aren't doing anything you should come by the Farm this weekend. Even if you don't jump it would be cool to see a new face. Usually about 10 or 12 people there camping on Friday nights, a pile more on Saturday. Look forward to meeting you soon.Killing threads since 2004.

Normally I'd tell you where you could stick your Corona, but being that you just got hitched and all I might think about bringing some Corona along. Who all is coming and when are you leaving? I'm going to bring some wood out for the fire so hopefully it will be a bit better than last weekend. bseries - sorry for hijacking your thread! Anytime is a good time to stop by. It's a fun bunch regardless of time of day or what is going on. Edited: If you do make it just come to the hanger. There will be plenty of people around.Killing threads since 2004.
