    Skydive The South

    This DZ is located at the Historic Moton Field, home of the Tuskegee Airmen. There is a museum on-site dedicated to these brave men. This DZ replaces the former Skydive Opelika and Skydive Tuskegee DZ. We are family oriented and want to bring back the old DZ feel. We will be offering Tandem, AFF, and IAD instructional methods. Come out and join us.
  3. Jim Horak is a big reason I still skydive today. It had to be close to 11 years ago now that I accompanied the Alabama Gang to my first boogie on Memorial weekend in Elberta. I had about 7 static line jumps, not progressing well and thoughts of quitting had entered my psyche. It works out that being a non-jumper I drove the van to pick up skydivers from the Flora-Bama for most of the weekend and in exchange Jim offered me an Instructional tandem. Though the jump was “free” I was very hesitant. His presence calmed that demon on my shoulder he spent a lot of time going through the dive flow before and critiquing my performance after. He cleared me for AFF IV and instilled a confidence that I carried with me throughout my time as a student. It was his spirit, attention to not only detail but to me as a student that made me want to continue in the sport. To this day I do not know what would have happened if it would have been anyone else. The things I have done, seen and will do because of Jim’s attentiveness to me that day is a debt that I will struggle to repay. Thanks Jim BSBD. - Daniel BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang

  7. I just bought this beut from a yard sale for 25$ hadn't run in 10 or more years. Owner couldn't get it started. Cleaned the carb, replaced battery, cleaned gas tank, changed transmission oil, refreshed the 2 cycle oil, checked compression and spark. I still couldn't get it started. It turned out to be a clogged muffler. I put the muffler in a hot fire to clean it. Reinstalled the muffler, and the scooter fired right up first time. I did have to go back later and use a chemical solution to remove all the rust from the inside of the fuel tank. That stuff worked great! No I can get up to 28 MPH 100 MPG and I have a blast riding thru the neigborhoods. Its a 1978 Honda Express with a spring starter. You can check out this link http://www.mopedarmy.com/resources/articles/ It has some good articles and suggestions on getting mopeds/scooters going again. Good luck. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
  8. I like the way he talked his partner into going on the jump. (Paraphrased) TED "What about the little girl... they can't last long?" JIM "Sorry but no" TED "Skydiving by radar..... I betcha its never been done before... I gonna give it a whirl.. You can pass..." JIM "That'll be the day... Im jumping with you" My favorite quote "...You as a freefalling object are the same as a bomb..." BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang
