My DZ closes for the winter. :( I can't wait to live in Florida where there's jumping year round.

thats hardcore



no, its not, its all a matter of determination, i fucking havent jumped since beginning of november, and it started hitting on my sanity (which is not healthy to begin with..:P) having two wingsuits in my gearbag, both new (to me) and un-jumped, hasnt helped the case..

go figure! :o

Well, not really. There's always those pesky summer mid-afternoon storms and hurricanes that ruin a jump day. Once you've been here for awhile and you get used to the warm temps, you'll decide it's too cold to jump when it's below 60 but then it's awful when it's above 95 degrees with 90% humidity. Mark my words, it ain't no Shang-ri-la. ;)

it sure is addicting isn't it. if you've got a mentor with a rig they'll let you use, bundle up and go flick something. if you just need to jump i'm sure there's a DZ open closer than FL. you'll just have to wear layers.-- cheers

I have this undying need to jump off of something. The last jump I did of any kind was at Bridge Day this year. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(



I never thought I'd see the day when I saw a BASE post on DZ.com!!!

I feel your pain though. . .I got my first jump last Sunday. It was off a 930' A. Then the weather moved in and it was all of 14 degrees yesterday!!
Today it'll be a high of 22 but the wind forecast looks great so. . .Here comes the FrijolB|

On a side note. . .our DZ won't send a load if it's below 32deg (F) on the ground:( That being said we've jumped in some COLD like -14 at alt. . .:)
Gawddang I love this sport!!!

edit to add. . .I'm very happy I bought my own BASE rig :)!!!
If your gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.
