skycamefalling 0 #5 December 5, 2010 Yeah it has been fairly cold here in CA along with rain. So hopefully the weather will be some what decent during those days you are here.Speedracer~I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead. And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa126 0 #6 December 5, 2010 Cold as in? It was 35 on the ground here in PA the other week when I jumped :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #8 December 5, 2010 QuoteCold as in? It was 35 on the ground here in PA the other week when I jumped :) It could easily be that chilly in the morning though it'll typically warm up during the day. But when the sun goes down, expect the temps to drop and be ready to throw some layers on for the evening."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

ManagingPrime 0 #12 December 8, 2010 If you don't have them already get some heavy weight gloves too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 24 #13 December 8, 2010 QuoteIf you don't have them already get some heavy weight gloves too. For jumping? I wouldnt recommend that. Use latex inserts, or thin thermal inserts with your regular gloves. For hanging our at night, sure!Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I picked some up at square 2 for the really cold days and they worked well for me....much better than the tandem gloves I made the mistake of using before.

Melissa126 0 #17 December 23, 2010 hopefully, the dz will be out from under water by the time I get there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa126 0 #18 January 5, 2011 8 days left, super excited. I'm assuming Perris has load organizers, think it will be hard to find people to jump with? Just belly stuff, 4-way or less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #19 January 5, 2011 Quote8 days left, super excited. I'm assuming Perris has load organizers, think it will be hard to find people to jump with? Just belly stuff, 4-way or less. Yes, just ask at manifest who's organizing that day and they'll connect you. I had about the same number of jumps as you when I first visited and I had a great time and learned a ton! Be sure you ask for a landing area briefing as well."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

billvon 2,400 #20 January 5, 2011 >I'm assuming Perris has load organizers Yep. Darryld and Mark are the two organizers usually there. There are a few others who do it on an as-needed basis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shward 0 #21 January 5, 2011 Just jumped at Perris this weekend. Cold as hell!!! The landing area is not under water any more but there is a good 4 inches of VERY slick mud covering everything. Hope that dries out before the 13th. Agree with NW, make sure to get a good brief on the landing areas.Life is short, eat more bacon, have more sex and jump anytime you can!!

Be sure you ask for a landing area briefing as well. Most load organised jumps during the weekend end up a tad bigger than 4-ways though, the jumps they organise are a ton of fun, you should definitly join in... I'm there 14-17 as well...

Melissa126 0 #23 January 11, 2011 hey everyone, after hours on the phone with expedia, etc, and cancelled flights. I need a ride!!! Anybody know anybody? I'd be willing to pay gas. I arrive at LAX Friday at 11am and need to get to Perris... I leave Monday, and would have to be back at LAX by 11am... I tried renting a card but they require a credit card in the drivers name... I don't own a cc! Anybody know of any options, buses, etc. something, let me know! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
