Jeanne..I have balls and will do it dammit!:

Depends on where you live in Colorado that will determine where you jump.

Skydive the Rockies is closest to Colorado Springs (Air Force Academy) and Pueblo..in Canon City. So if you're far south, you'll probably go there.

Denver Skydivers in Brush is way out I-76 on the eastern plains. Mostly upjumpers out there.

MileHi Skydiving in Longmont draws from the Denver metro area up thru Ft Collins/Greeley and is well known student/training facility. I did my L1 AFF there and then because of fall weather (clouds too low, winds too high) I had to finish AFF elsewhere.

Okay, I'll bite.

Derek, Brush is aiming for an open date of May 1st.

On second thought, I think I'll send Rachel a PM

His cords got tangled up? What is that all about? Are you talking about the CReW accident? If so, there were two that died that day.

I'm getting the vibes that maybe Colorado isn't the best place on earth to skydive? hehe

Sorry bout that, it looks as if 2 did die

and..How do i get my quote to not ride on the butt of the last words i type?

Colorado is a great place to jump. The thing is that when you ask which is the best dropzone, you may very well start an argument over the issue.

If it were me and I lived near colorado springs I would go to skydive the rockies it being closer to your location. They also have a staff fully capable of helping you out (not that the others don't as well).
But you do what is best for you.

Death is so permanant, and I'm just not ready for that kind of committment.

Cool....I will bring my sticks. I have some new tricks for you to see.
I am thinking of maybe this thursday into friday. Hey you a coach? I need to get current again....work has been killing me. Do you know what MileHi does in order for me to get current? Can I get into the hanging harness and then jump with a coach? Or does it have to be an AFF instructor?

ok......whens the best time for you man?Is there a day thats usually best for you? Its been a while....5 months....

The same thing happened to me in AFF, 5 month lay off because of my damn job.....I did fine on my next jump so I dont see any major issues. I would like to get in the harness even though I have been wearing my rig 1-2 times a week and feeling my handles and such.

hows life?

Well, Brush is closed, bust Colorado Sky Sports in Canon City has the cleanest, fastest climbing turbine in southern Colorado. Best vibes, you'll love it unless you are a wannabe skygod or phallus...

The USPA regional director is the only here one that isn't invited there, everyone else loves it... Excessive rules are for losers...

Check out the forums at www.coloradoskysports.com, bitch all you want on their forums!!!

Would love to see you at Skydive the Rockies. We now have more women jumping than when I started eighteen months ago.

Beautiful views, they now have a restaurant at the airport, great instructors and we have a brand new, huge, soft pea gravel pit to land in. (Thank you Chris and Wayne!).

I will be out next Sunday.

PM me if you have any specfic questions.
