cbrown1311 0 #1 December 4, 2011 Hey everyone, More likely than not I'll be attending medical school at the University of Chicago, and I was wondering a couple of things: 1.) Are there any jumpers here that live in Hyde Park? 2.) Whats the closest dropzone in terms of time to the University? both CSC and Skydive Chicago are about the only two dropzones I've heard anything about 3.) Does the University have any type of skydiving club? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eUrNiCc 0 #2 December 5, 2011 Congrats on getting into UofC! My wife and I live in Hyde Park, where she is finishing up her law degree this June. I'm not sure if there are any other jumpers in Hyde Park, but the university doesn't have a club (yet). The closest DZ's are SDC and CSC, both of which are about an hour and a half drive. We moved to Chicago from the south and I will never get used to the winters up here. The summers are really nice and the DZ's are really busy, so bring your rig and your checkbook.Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamWirtz2001 0 #3 December 19, 2011 I live in the West suburbs and frequent SDC. I have not been to CSC yet. Also, you are probably nearly as close to Skydive Milwaukee in East Troy, WI. I have been going there the past few weeks because they jump a cessna even in the winter. I have done 7 jumps there in the past 2 weeks. It is a bit of a drive for me (100 minutes), but it's worth it to stay current through the winter. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #4 December 20, 2011 I live downtown and am a regular at CSC. CSC is building some outstanding facilities, and SDC is fantastic. Skydive Midwest is small but has a loyal following. I don't know of any skydiving clubs. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
