Ozzie 0 #301 June 29, 2007 Quote The only thing that makes me nervous is all the people that'll be in the sky at the same time. I'm not use to that. Any hints on how to get over that? Spaceland had a left landing pattern that is pretty well followed. That will help out allot. The other thing is the size of the landing areas. You can literally land "alone" all you want and then integrate yourself as you get comfortable.Motion = Emotion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #302 June 30, 2007 They also have a couple different landing areas depending on your experience level, so that takes some of the stress out of the situation as well.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing that makes me nervous is all the people that'll be in the sky at the same time. I'm not use to that. Any hints on how to get over that? Close your eyes??? Uh oh....just kidding!

turtlespeed 212 #314 July 3, 2007 Quote Quote ...I would assume that there be people there who could advise me on different safety issues that come with boogies, correct????? Nathan, If you can't find J, you will recognize I will personally get someone for you that can answer all your questions and tell you everything you need to know. If it turns out to be Keith, you may get more than you need to know but you will be well-advised for ALL boogies. Can I do the advising? Can I, Huh, Can I?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
