Vallerina 2 #1 August 26, 2004 I was just wondering who is going to this: http://www.perrisvalleyskydiving.com/ppp/bigwaycamp.asp I'm not taking my exam this sitting so that I can go and learn some skills! I was just wondering who else was going. Maybe we can split rooms/rental car costs/etc. Also, if anyone has gone in the past, what can I expect, and what should I do to prepare (other than jump.) Any other tips?There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemini 0 #3 August 26, 2004 Val I've been to 3 because they are so much fun! Plan on trying places in the formation where you are uncomfortable since you can't get "cut" if you mess up (as long as it is not a safety violation of course). It is amazing how much better you can fly when the only pressure is that which you put on yourself. First class coaching, first class dz, first class participants.

el_chester 4 #4 August 26, 2004 don't miss it i plan to be there in october for the second time this year you'll be rotated to every position tiny skinny girls get to try being in the base, heavy guys dock last in their big jumpsuits tons of fun - tons of learning that camp (as well as another at skydive dallas) got me into the TSR... were i beleive i had the lowest # of jumps it's great - highly recommended --- eric ("chester") from mexico -- Be careful giving advice.

dgskydive 0 #5 August 27, 2004 Go to the camp Val. It is well worth the money and the travel. I will be there. The camps for me are just fun for the fact that you get to make new friends. It's almost like a boogie in that way. They really help with your skills as well. Eric is right. Last camp he did really well and the coaches saw that and next thing he knows he is on the TSR. The way they structure the camps there is no blame or fault if you mess up. In fact most of the jumps they don't even worry about completions. It is all about doing your part. You will love the camp.

Vallerina 2 #8 August 31, 2004 One more thing...would it be easy to get a ride to/from Ontario?There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #9 August 31, 2004 SHouldn't be to hard. If I had a car I would come and pick you up. It's only 45 minutes at the most. Contact the DZ if you can't find a ride. They can get you in contact with Kim White. She runs a shuttle service. I am sure someone on here will be able to pick ya up tough.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skykittykat 0 #16 September 26, 2004 Just to add my 2 cents worth, the camps are totally awesome. As there is a no fault environment, you can go out there and really learn. I found from the 2 camps I have done that my confidence has improved, I have pushed myself and put myself way out of my comfort zone. I am usually a base chick and asked to be last diver out. Yup, I went Quotelow (not heaps low) twice, but hey, I got to practice swooping, which is not something that I do normally! there is a lot of information, but not overload, that helps you understand big ways. Also, if you do 4-way, etc, it will help that flying as well, in that there is discipline and of course, tracking. How often in a 4-way, 8-way, etc jump is there enough time to practice a full on track for more than 4 seconds? Getting used to flying under canopy with 80+ other canopies in the air is also a good learning curve. I will hopefully be there if there are still slots left and it is not too late to sign up. Oh yeah, all of the people I have met on the big way camps have been awesome and many are repeat attendees.
