skymama 35 #302 February 14, 2012 Quote I’m used to smaller club DZs were I know everyone and even Handsome Dave will do a 2-way. I’ve only ventured to a big DZ once and I was the only fun jumper on the Otter, so that was fun. Find me, Normiss and I will do a jump with you and I'll introduce you to other people you might want to jump with too. 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
popsjumper 2 #303 February 14, 2012 Quote Although I was worried about having my “b” license it doesn’t look like that will be a problem....I’m used to smaller club DZs were I know everyone and even Handsome Dave will do a 2-way. I’ve only ventured to a big DZ once and I was the only fun jumper on the Otter, so that was fun. I'll respectfully suggest: At any boogie, you're going to be on planes with multiple jumpers doing multiple disciplines and more canopies being in the sky at one time than you are used to. Hopefully, your time in Eloy will expose you to that environment. And more importantly, hopefully, before you jump there, you will ask to get some real advice and instruction at Eloy on how to handle that new environment. Key points (among others): -Load/exit order -Exit separation -Clear your airspace -Head on a swivel -Collision avoidance -Conservative canopy piloting -Proper landing patterns Please get the advice and instruction before you jump. It's a different world from the small, intimate DZ environment. You are going to have a blast...it's guaranteed!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

hillson 0 #306 February 14, 2012 Dumb question...do you need a B for balloon jumps? I should have it y then...but the wind and the rain etc etc. have no problem prepaying... I'm coming btw Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #307 February 15, 2012 I'd like to see a B, but if your qualified I'll talk to someone at your home DZ and we can probably work it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hillson 0 #308 February 15, 2012 Cool. If I'm B'd I'll bring the paperwork. If not I'll talk to the ZHills folks to see if they think it is appropriate and have them get in touch if cleared. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trafficdiver 8 #309 February 15, 2012 Quote So as a sub 100 wonder, will there be people to jump with? I'm going too. I may or may not have 100 jumps by then but I'm certainly not good so it should be cool. Can't wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are going to have a blast...it's guaranteed! I am going with 2 other friends and we already booked tunnel time. We are planning on hiring a coach for the first day or two and split the cost 3 ways. Each of us has 40-60 jumps so it should be a good learning experience and well worth the money.

Time for some updates. -It's time to start booking balloon slots if you want the balloon there. Info is on the forums at www.RoamingOutoutdoors.com -There is a lot of info on the forums however forum registration is still locked due to spammers. You can still view the forums. -Reminder: This is a cash only event. We don't have phone lines on site and I don't maintain accounts to accept credit cards. If this is a problem you can pre-register by mail and put money on account or I accept PayPal with all fees added. -I am working on having internet access on site, cross your fingers. -We have quite a few shirts left from last year and a few from other years. It would be a great help going into the boogie to get rid of these and have the cash on hand for pre-boogie expenses. I'll sell them for $12 including shipping. Hit me at [email protected]. -I just got the final t-shirt art back for this year. This is a complete redesign and it turned out great. However, because of the number of shirts we had left last year I am cutting back on the order. I recommend you get a shirt when you get there or pre-register and prepay for a shirt. I will post pre-register info on the RoamingOutdoor forums. That's it for now.
