Northern season, and Certification maintenance
VRod replied to VRod's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I think the tough part for me is going to be getting those winter jumps in. I called a local sky dive place in central MI and they're answering service says they close shop from like Thanksgiving to April. I could probably get enough jumps in during season as I do 12 hr shifts, and only half the days out of the month. Riding a bike with a rig on - That is some kind of visual! -
Northern season, and Certification maintenance
VRod replied to VRod's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hey folks - alright I am either going to buy a motorcycle in the spring or a full set of skydiving gear. I have jumped about 25 times and was working on getting certified, but then I moved up north from Florida, and was a bit shocked by the cold. It's been 10 years now and the cold doesn't bother me in the least anymore. I remember I gave up on pursuing a SD cert because there would have been so much time between my last fall jump and my first spring jump. I thought I would at least give SD'ing one last look before I actually bought my bike because since I can handle alot colder temps maybe I would rather do this instead. Can anyone give me the scoop on how getting certified goes in the far north (Michigan), and keeping the cert through the off season? Do people jump in the winter up north? Thanks
