  1. I have read the reviews and spoke to a few people. Honestly they were not so great.....but I would like to form my own opinion. Any regulars there that would be willing to jump with a visiting jumper during the week? Anything I should know before making a visit there? Another DZ is not an option because of the distance. I am a bellyflier with 371 jumps. I would prefer not to jump by myself. I would only be able to chose one day to jump and do a couple jump and leave! So , who wants to jump?

  2. I love eggs.........so therefore I have 8 laying hens that give me 4 eggs a day! I have 4dz in the fridge now. Mine are free range!

  3. We are located in Zuni, VA about 25 miles west of Skydive Suffolk. We have lost one tree so far in the horse pasture and it is still early. It's pretty windy but we still have power. The horse is freaking out and we have placed a breakaway halter with identification on her just in case the fence blows down. Everything is tied down and put away! I have deserts backed and grill items in the freezer! All ATVs are gased up and plenty of gas for the chainsaw! We are prepared! Stay safe out there!

  4. I have been in your shoes a few times! Some days are meant for enjoying the weather on the ground! Then you want to kick yourself when you can't jump! There will be another weekend! Enjoy!

  5. So a while back I was looking at some gifts and saw a three ring dog collar. I did not get one at the time but wished I had because I can not find one now. Does anyone know where I can find one of these collars? It was a collar that had the actual three rings attached to it.

  6. Ok this is my 2cents! I did six tandems in six months and then started my AFF. I also had 30 minutes worth of tunnel time. EVERY tandem that I did I learned something and met some really great people. I did not do the tandem progression, I just did alot of tandems. My daughter has two tandems and I encourage her to do more before starting her AFF. This is not a sport to rush. Take your time. The only bad thing about tandems is that it will teach you bad body position. Don't sweat the small stuff. Enjoy your tandems and learn canopy pattern and altitude awareness. Don't worry about steering, you will be happy to grab the toggles when you do AFF!

  7. Skydive Suffolk is my home DZ! Skydive Atlanta is alot like Suffolk! I love them both! You should check out West Point on your way to Suffolk. The Farm was a fun place to jump but don't get lost getting back! You will enjoy all of them!

  8. I was 35 when I started skydiving and I told my parents before I started. My dad was pretty worried but wanted to see me do it. He was so excited that he paid for my A license. My mother did two tandems with me. Now my daughter wants to jump! Yes, I am a little worried!

  9. Just to give you an idea...... My then 5 month old was 22lbs, at 13 months she was 20lbs, now she is 10 and is a whole 85lbs as of yesterday! Children grow at different rates. I would not be concerned so much to book an appointment right away but you should bring it up to her pediatrician at her well baby check up next time! Merry Christmas!

  10. I did my first helo jump a few months ago! I would love to do another one. I did not feel that falling feeling but from the smiles on everyone's faces I was kicking and flailing my arms like crazy! What a blast, you gotta do one!

  11. My husband is a non-jumper but comes to the DZ with me almost every weekend that is not a hunting weekend. It works out well. We respect the fact that each of us have other interests. During the summer months he will be found at the grill cooking up burgers for the DZ! So if you are ever in Suffolk, VA and see a man standing at the grill it is probrably him! I make sure I thank him every day for what he does for us!
