  1. Skydive Hawaii is strictly a tandem factory unless your relative works for the DZ.. There is a huge Hatfields and McCoys thing going on there between the two DZs so everyone has to follow all requirements (i.e.: AAD, USPA card, cloud clearances, etc.). They literally video the other DZ other watching for things to report to the FAA. Be sure you know everything you need to jump there or you may be disappointed. The place is great to jump (one of the best views you will ever get skydiving), however the winds shut down everything by noon or 1pm so you have to get there at the open if you want to get in a few jumps. Bring hiking and snorkel gear - if the weather is bad for jumping at least you can do something else in the morning that is unusual..be sure to read/research if the trails are closed or you may get arrested.

  2. Looks like over half are sold now - don't be left out! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  3. Noticed it is limited to 100 wingsuiters..don't delay and spend a year kicking yourself! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  4. Just requested time off from work..I only missed one of the events (including all the x.5 events) and will not let that happen again! A must attend event! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  5. 44 now signed up - big way looks like it will be 3 planes.. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  6. As others have said - good and bad...I joined to get a (clean & cheap) room close to campus without living in the dorm. The good is there is always something going on... The bad is there is always something going on...and you may be required to attend. Can be distracting if you can't budget your time well. Not all the functions revolved around drinking; some sports, community, political and even social learning experiences with other groups made for interesting times. No hazing...at all. You have to take it for what it is: I paid my dues and was welcome - when I stopped paying my dues, I was unwelcome...best friends money can buy.

  7. We are both planning to be there... We both went on our first wingsuit jumps with Chris and any others when he was jumping...miss him often even before he passed.

  8. Based on this definition, the rigid wingtip grippers on some models might be used as a basis for exclusion as a WS. While I agree strapping a fiberglass wing on your back should not be considered a wingsuit, maybe we need to have a defined, allowable limit for rigid components of the WS held by hand to properly tension the wing…? Thanks Spot for all you’re doing for all of us! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  9. Another one to check out is EMS (the link it to their Outlet Department). I've got some really good deals on closeouts. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  10. Might check St Petersburg too (sometimes Sarasota/SRQ has deals, but not too frequent) for some of the airlines. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  11. We are SO looking forward to this! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.

    That was my first thought too...well, here's my runner up: "100th Jump" Great 100th jump girls! Too bad we couldn't find a fourth to make it a 4-way naked jump...hey, pass the hand sanitizer down will ya'? Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.

  14. You just made my day! It was great seeing you again (jumping too)...thanks for being there Matt - we miss you! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  15. Call the Sunshine Factory and reserve a rental for the weekend - they've got a few to choose from that should work for you. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
