  1. Question about that (Lodi): Seeing how it seems to be one of the most well-known dropzones worldwide, why are they that underrepresented online? I mean their websites https://www.parachutecenter.com/ and http://skydivelodiparachutecenter.com seem very basic and don't give lots of information. + Googling Lodi skydiving shows lots of not so nice news headlines about accidents, the center being raided by the FBI etc.
  2. Hi, I'd like to spend 1-2 months near a dropzone to do 100-200 jumps. I'd be working at the same time (just need my laptop and a good internet connection). So any recommendations for dropzones that are: - Cheap - Open every day - Are located in a country/ region that has fast enough internet (e.g. could be a problem at Kolomna) - Preferably close to an interesting town - Preferably in a timezone not too far of from the GMT timezone (but no deal breaker) Would most likely be for around May or so. Thanks in advance! Ruben
  3. Thanks for the advice. I'll try the squirrel exit for sure. I tried a backwards exit with salto's on my second jump but i don't really know if it worked.. . Too bad the weather isn't good at the moment . I thought about practicing up, down and so on but i think that would be easyer to learn with someone around. Does anyone know about a good book about skydiving btw? Not to basic but not to much in detail. To learn about the different disciplines and so on.
  4. Hi, I just finished my AFF course and did 2 solo jumps today. I really enjoyed them but i would like to try to learn some new things in the next solos i'll be doing. Maybe it's pretty early to start thinking about new stuff after 9 jumps already but i feel very comfortable doing the things i learned in AFF so i would like to try something new, like a new position or some fun exits. Of course it shouldn't be to hard but just something i could try for like 10 seconds during the jump. Anybody got any tips or ideas what to practice? Like trying to fall stable on my back or like flying backwards or is that really to hard for a novice? Any experiences about the first solos after your AFF and what extra courses you followed would be welcome to. Thanks in advance
