LouDiamond 1 #4 November 15, 2005 Quotewhats the weather like? is there possability for much jumpingness? It's a sight better than the UK and there is mucho flock action. Usualy cold nights and early mornings that warm up during the jumping day. The bent prop is also fairly well full of people and adult beverages as soon as the beer light goes on. It's a great time, just cruise some of the old holiday boogie threads and you'll see."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #5 November 15, 2005 Quotewhats the weather like? is there possability for much jumpingness? Weather in Eloy sucks during Christmas. That's why they have the DZ.com boogie then. Everyone on DZ.com is a big nerd, so it's ok if they all just sit inside on computers instead of jumping. -- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Large tailgates, LOTS of flocking, plus Jari Kuosma and Brian Germain will be there. Oh and did i mention that the British Pound goes ten times further over here?

Peej 0 #10 November 15, 2005 Hmmm, I'll admit i hadn't taken the cheap flights within Europe into consideration. But Zeemax is considering getting his flock on in the US, that's continent to continent travel. And besides, you guys are next door to Empuria, how many people can say they've flocked over Africa?

But sadly, I have to go with the spanish winds..I'm not good enough to fly from Empuria to Africa yet in my suit Maybe if they can get that jet-engine thing working, so we can plan trans-atlantic flocking someday with people taking off on dirrent continents JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

unclecharlie95 3 #18 November 15, 2005 Hey Jarno, might be worth checking how many other wingsuit pilots are going and also if the ground control will be cool with you flocking from all the a/c. Long flights JBASEstore.it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notsane 0 #22 November 15, 2005 Z-Hills is going to be packed with wingsuit folks over the holidays In fact, the Europeans are already arriving to take advantage of the great exchange rates. Count on good weather and great jumps here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #23 November 15, 2005 Quoteall the usual suspects for flights... best i can get to phoenix is about £550... SA is about a grand... I think might just have solved it! Currently, according to www.xe.com 1 EUR = 1.16939 USD and 1 EUR = 7.93699 ZAR (South African Rands) So, all you have to do is pay for an expensive flight and when you get here drink enough cheap beer and do cheap jumps and you should come out on top! edited to add: you're also guaranteed 30 deg celsius weather every day!

The111 0 #25 November 15, 2005 Quoteanyone know any good ways to scam an airline? Get your DZ pilot to fly you over a major airport... wait for your desired flight to take off, get out of your jumpship, and fly your wingsuit up to the airliner. Hitch a ride! Bring a jacket and maybe some oxygen... it will be cold, and dizzy without those. To answer your original question, I know from experience (as do you) that Zhills is a great time. I will be in Eloy this year though, and I think it will be great too.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
