Lost Prarie was a pleasure to jump at once the long drive was over. If you stay in Missoula, plan on a beautiful drive past Lake Flathead on your way. Didn't have time to check on hotels closer to the DZ, but there did appear to be a few available. Drove out there while many of the fires kept some of the tourists out of town, but the DZ was clear. The staff was extremely helpful in finding a rig for me to use, and was even willing to quick turn it with a smaller canopy for me. I definitely plan on going back next time I make it out that direction, but will probably find a place to stay a little closer than Missoula. Thanks for the great time fellas!

Bummer! Hope you feel well soon!

I plan on doing my part to run him out of the sport. Think I'll tell everyone I can of my experience, and make sure anybody going to Vegas hears about it! Never expected his type of attitude when I started skydiving, it simply doesn't belong!

So there I was,...planning a work trip out to Las Vegas and trying to figure out when I would have time to jump over the weekend. Having been out there a year and a half ago, I assumed I would hit Skydive Las Vegas again. So I talk two of my friends into making tandem jumps while we're there, and start making phone calls to help set it up for them. Now comes the fun part,...it seems the owner doesn't allow any fun jumpers anymore except those that graduate from "his" jump course. My friends are welcome, but I'm not!!?? If it weren't for me knowing who to call, they never would've even known the place existed. I'll keep it short, if you go to Las Vegas, jump at Las Vegas Gravity Zone in Jean, NV. It's the same distance from the city going south towards California. The atmosphere is great! I was welcomed with open arms, and look forward to jumping there again as well as taking any friends who want tandems. By the way, the "multi-million dollar" Skydive Las Vegas isn't the DZ its owner thinks it is anyway. When I did jump there, the reception was opposite of every drop zone I have ever tried, and it was obvious they cared about only one thing....$$$. What happened to perpetuation of the sport and helping out other jumpers? I look forward to the day I hear Skydive Las Vegas has gone out of business,...Long live Las Vegas Gravity Zone!!!

JT, Going to Osan NLT 10 May, at Tinker right now. If I can't find anything, I guess I'm gonna have to make a few trips to Japan! Huevo

About to be stationed in Korea. While I know there aren't any USPA DZs over there, anybody know of any non-USPA DZs I might find?

Lots O' good folks running Skydive Walterboro! Very laid back atmosphere with plenty of folks willing to help out the novice jumper. Wish more DZs were like this one!
