freeflir29 0 #3 June 23, 2005 FF mostly.........but a lot of the FF's also swoop. There's a bit of RW and a small amount of CRW as well. A little bit of everything but SD Atlanta is pretty much THE place for Free Flying in Georgia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peej 0 #6 June 23, 2005 My DZ is primarily made up of RW peeps and I think it has a lot to do with the fact that our National team trains there. So there's a big push for people to get involved in RW. There are a few of us that freefly and we're trying to steer people towards it when they're ready. I for one am working on my JM rating and as soon as i have that and a coach rating i'll be pushing heavily to grow freefly. Also, thanks mainly to Tonto's influence we're seeing a lot of interest in wing suits, which is awesome! Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BGill 0 #8 June 23, 2005 my dz is mostly RW much to my dismay. it's a lot of old time funjumpers who just go out and do the normal 4-way, maybe once in a while they do something bigger. there are a few of us there that freefly, but because there's only a few, the learning curve isn't way up there. whatever, i have my fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skychick312 0 #9 June 23, 2005 Come to Skydive Atlanta for our huge Halloween Boogie!!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #10 June 23, 2005 There is a shit load of old timers who do RW at my DZ. There's also a shit load of newer people getting into RW. The DZ has it's fair share of freefliers, wingsuit jumpers and there are a few CReW dawgs as well. And of course we have a swoop course setup usually all the time with a 1/2 dug (hopefully soon to be completed even though nothing seems to have happened in the last week or so) swoop pond to tend to us crazy swoopers. So this DZ in CO pretty much has everything except no sky-ball jumps, tubes or raft dives due to our close proximity to civilization.
