I'M IN, I'M IN ! ! ! Although, brushing up on the skills might be an understatement in my case! I'm drooling over the opportunity

This time is no longer available.

Hey guys, go to the Drop Zones link on USPA's web site: http://www.uspa.org/dz/index.htm It won't tell you the acreage of the DZ, nor its avg # of jumps each year, but it does have a fleet listing for each DZ. Mark.

I am one of 2 people with time reserved on Wednesday May 19. If someone will be in town and is interested in splitting about an hour or 2 let me know. Heck, if you'd like to do some fun 4-way with us in the tunnel, we're up for that too!!! I have time throughout the day. Contact me at: [email protected]

Cool! Who's on the team? Do you have a name yet? Mark

My team has about 130 jumps as of now. Our original plan was 200. We've got a pretty full schedule left before Nationals. As far as team rates go, check around on dz web sites for an idea of what you can expect. The info listed above about SD AZ is easily accessible on their web site. SD Spaceland in Houston has a pretty neat team rate structure. Check it out at http://www.skydivespaceland.com/pricing/pricing_info_team.htm. SD Dallas has a similar setup, but with different rates. This should give you an idea of what to expect. If you want to get ever greater discounts, then you've got to start selling! Generally the more involved a team is with a dz, the more the dz is willing to deviate from their "advertised rates" for the team (assuming they'll deviate at all!). The dz is a business... they're in this to make money. You've got to figure out how you can help them make money before they're willing to "spend" money on you. Mark SUPERCRUISE

Yes! The first jump on Sunday morning produced a new Texas State Record. Immediately after the jump it was (mistakenly) announced over the PA that it was a 127-way. It was later corrected and announced that the official number was 125, and that it held for ~14 seconds. Mark SUPERCRUISE
