RoryJ 0 #1 December 1, 2005 Ok, I intend to move to FL for 16 weeks of hard jumping. While there I will be trying to get some sort of temporary job to fund even more jumping and tunnel time. The big question is, where do I jump? My main choices were DeLand, Z-hills, Sebastian or Space Center, unless there is overwhelming support for another DZ. I intend to work on my freeflying, plus trying to get ramped up to get my tandem and AFF ratings. So, any advice is gladly welcomed. So, which should it be?Not again!

skinnyshrek 0 #3 December 1, 2005 i can get you work only problem is you will have to jump at the farm each week-end..lol Shitmel can give you some good free fly coaching and the work is in atlanta pm me for detailshttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

skymama 35 #4 December 1, 2005 Orlando is a mecca for part-time/temp jobs, although they don't pay all that much. If you base youself there though, you will be within an hour's drive of Z-hills, Lake Wales, Sebastian, Titusville, DeLand and the tunnel is right there. To me, that would be your best bet because of the flexibility. You won't have any problem finding freefliers at any of the dropzones. The only downside to that is where you are going to live. Were you planning on living at a dz?She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not too hard to find work there. Daytona is close to titusville, Deland and Palatka. Its a couple of hrs away from zhills, sebastian, and lake wales.

Yes, Sebastian is nice depending on what you are looking for for work though... Are you looking for dz type work or work off the dz? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RoryJ 0 #16 December 4, 2005 I will take either, or both. I have no real pride, so I will do what it takes to earn money. Err, well, to a point, I guess. Basically, I just need enough money to keep me jumping and have some money to tide me over until I get back jumping at CK.Not again!
