Sangi, have you ever been to Lodi? You are an idiot. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

pete, thanks for your effort the westcoast wingsuit community is hopeful shine on avery ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Hello Lodi is the most affordable DZ in the world. Standard ticket is $15, buy a block and it's $13. Now the deal is $10 a jump every Sunday! Bill is a totally awesome, so is Kathy. Huge grassy landing area, plenty of covered packing. The fun and games and "family of jumpers" feel rocks! Many of us call that place home, I've been jumping there for nearly 20 years. I was there the day the rule changed from "no wingsuits" to hearing the call for the "birdmen load" is next..... That was almost a decade ago now. Ever since we have been building the wingsuit community. Tons of people flock there to learn/fly/flock. Bill has his way of doing things you learn to live with. It's not difficult considering the freedoms he allows. As someone mentioned somewhere above, you may get one warning, then you are done. It is his drop zone, and he has the right to run it his way. And he does, it is "Bill's way" or "hit the road". I am fine with that, as are many, many others, obviously. Lately careless jumpers habitually land off = problem. There are other drop zones around sure, but the jumps are always more expensive, some even rediculously expensive. They all offer less than great aircraft. Not to mention certain DZO's are just not nice ever. Some drop zone are made completely of dirt, completely. Also, ten thousand windmills were put in places for a reason. I don't want to bash all the other dz's, as I might have to jump there once or twice. Flocking, which is what I do is not so great out the door of a kingair, nor a cessna, even if it is a 206, and the pac is just dangerous IMHO. Lodi is awesome year round with otters.

the word in the sky is that wingsuiting is banned @ lodi to me, this is the most upsetting news i've had this year believe me, i have had lots of bad news this year we have built a community of wingsuiters at this dz i hope and pray that the power that IS will reconsider punish offenders on an individual basis PLEASE do not make an ACROSS-THE-BOARD ban many of us call lodi home don't kick us out of the house some of us depend on this dz for livelyhood, and life what is life without wingsuits? i'll tell you, it's just falling ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity.

true that once upon a time a box showed up in it was a wingsuit no instructions no instructors ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

thanks for the reply and clarification Spot, like i said, i was just wondering because the OP said "submitted to the USPA" and i'm sure you are already aware that i tend to disregard rules in general anyway, peace and love to you and yours hope you are doing well ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Hi Spot, I'm just curious about this WPC. What is the purpose? Is it just for student wingsuiters? Is it proposed that any wingsuiters hoping to fly at USPA dz's will be required to have? Most of the folks we all usually fly with have all these skillz. And when I fly it is usually not at USPA dz. Just wondering.... ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

6 & 160 you should be able to fly anything what suit are you jumping now? what suits are they flocking with? Flock speeds, both vertical and horizontal are another topic. Acro is really fun, easy to fly, but not for fast flock. Phantom is quicker in flight, easier to flock. Shadow I only have jumped mine a few times........ ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

there are many variables to consider what are your flying skills? what is your body type? what kind of flying are you doing? These are just a few questions....... So many variables to consider, as Monkey said, there's the A/P cross: Shadow. If you want to play well with others, you need a suit that flies with others. A fat guy in an Acro may not be able to keep up with a skinny guy in a Phantom. Acro does not use grippers, which is awesome when you get the flying style dialed in. As far as speed, Phantom can go faster. If you can, get one of each. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

The fun and friendship of flocking is not for everyone. If you don't care to participate in these, it's okay, you can just say so. Peace Avery ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Spot could have been as asset to the formation...... ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Thanks for your opinion. It may change if you learn to fly a wingsuit, responsibly. I've got my own opinion, it does not involve any idiots. Where do the TI's you know jump, I'll avoid that DZ. Peace Avery ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Hi Ed, The monkeys and I are just done with our BASE escapades here in Europe, sitting here together now and the general consensus is that you can count us all in for Ecuador.

blah dee blah blah blah howzat? how are you glenn? hope all is well! you guys are a scream! i exceeded the posted speed limit on my way to the dz this morning! someone could have felt violated i think we need more cops to protect me from people like me. or not. maybe we should continue to be free to make decisions for ourselves. yeah, that sounds better. being fearful could really hamper one's ability to live. well anyway have a nice day. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity.
