Are there any specifics out on the Moab boogie or if it is even going to happen this year? I've been trying to plan a Climbing/Camping/Jump trip to Moab for later this summer and would like to see if I can work it into the boogie schedule if possible. ______________________________________________________________ "Give me some duct tape, chewing gum, and some Jack Daniels and I can fix damn near anything"

As my Dad said when he learned that I had started skydiving... "Son... You're nuttier than squirrel shit!" ______________________________________________________________ "Give me some duct tape, chewing gum, and some Jack Daniels and I can fix damn near anything"

I'm getting sent over for a month for work and was wondering if anyone had any insight. I can't seem to find any information that mentions anything about a dropzone . It's hard to imagine an entire country and not one single DZ! I'm bringing my rig none the less, just in case. Does anyone have any tips, advice or stories? ______________________________________________________________ "Give me some duct tape, chewing gum, and some Jack Daniels and I can fix damn near anything"

Back in COLLEGE, this cute little sorority girl I knew calls me up and asks me "Hey, what time does CNN come on?" I smiled and simply replied..."Right after NBC is over."

Jack! Good Ole' Tennessee tap water. Although, I'd say it's more of a love/hate relationship than an addiction. . . . . ______________________________________________________________ "Give me some duct tape, chewing gum, and some Jack Daniels and I can fix damn near anything"

I am one of a very small number of skydivers that have the blessing/misfortune of being able to say that I was born and raised in lovely Deland, FL and that it is my true "home DZ". I lived about a mile away from the DZ (the locals call it the "Airport" by the way, in case you get lost and have to ask for directions) for some 18+ years before moving away to college in Orlando and later to CA. Ironically, I never even thought about skydiving until a buddy bought me a tandem in Titusville for my birthday my 3rd year at UCF. I did come back home to do my AFF with Nikki, Nat, Pedro and the crew at Deland. Growing up in Deland I thought it was the most backwoods, tiny, boring town on the planet, full of nothing but big truck driving hillbillies and couldn't wait to get out. Now living in California sitting here reading all these posts about all the "cool stuff to do" and "nightlife" I kind of laughed to myself and realized that it could have been a lot worse and that Deland does have a little charm of its own, and is a great place to skydive. It's funny that to most people I meet I just say I'm from Orlando so they'll know where I'm talking about, but at any dropzone I can almost proudly say I'm from Deland without worry that no one has heard of the place. So here's some true insider info on Deland: 1) Scarily enough, every time I go in to PD I see at least 2 Deland High School drop-outs that I didn't think could even spell "parachute", sewing and assembling the canopies that are flying over our heads. Thank god for quality control and master rigger final inspection! 2) If you're going to be in Deland in April you'll probably need something to do besides jump seeing that it rains almost every afternoon. 3) Even though you're at one of the world centers of skydiving... the guy at the local Wal-Mart that's wearing the super tight blue jeans, cowboy boots, hub-cap sized belt buckle, Dale Jr. NASCAR T- shirt, and a bright orange camouflage hat will in fact think YOU look like the idiot in your jumpsuit or freefly pants and will have no idea why you're dressed that way. Just smile and nod as to not provoke the confused redneck. Anywho, everyone else pretty much covered all there is to do in the area. Bring plenty of sun-screen and a rain jacket and have fun. -blue ones ______________________________________________________________ "Give me some duct tape, chewing gum, and some Jack Daniels and I can fix damn near anything"
