ManBird 0 #1 May 16, 2003 I'll be in San Diego from July 11 - 14 to attend a friend's wedding. I'd like to get up to Elsinore on July 12. If anyone out there lives in San Diego and regular goes to Elsinore on Saturday, anyway, I'd like to get a ride. I'll fund the gas for entire trip. PM me. Thanks, Steve"¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManBird 0 #3 May 16, 2003 No Cypres. I used to live in Jamul, actually, but Elsinore was my home DZ. ;)"¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManBird 0 #5 May 16, 2003 Definitely bringing the suit. I don't jump without it (except on (most) hop and pops and as tandem ballast). Skydive San Diego has one of the Jump Air Otters, right? I love those planes. So fast, so clean. Oh, yeah."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManBird 0 #7 May 17, 2003 Ssshhhh... It's in negotiations. No guarantees. Hey, I should have my camera helmet (no stills yet) together by the time I get down there. We should flock and film."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManBird 0 #11 May 17, 2003 Nice. That's the way to go. If you do a lot of tracking dives and feel ready for a WA, you may be able to hook up with a BMI in less than 200 jumps, but you didn't here that from me. On Skydive San Diego... I'm surprised you need a Cypres there. I mean, they fire at 750' above where you set them, which is 250' lower than where you'd impact. ;) I've rented gear to jump there, but I really don't like doing so. And I wouldn't want to jump big rented gear with which I am not familiar with a wingsuit. ANd I wouldn't want to jump without a wingsuit. Beautiful drop zone. I hear they scored a nice fat military contract, so they'll be stepping up. But I don't think Buzz will ever drop his Cypres rule. He's a great guy, his reasons are plausible and respected, and his DZ is gorgeous, but I don't want to pay $1,000 just to jump there, which is all that I, persoanlly, feel I would get out of a Cypres."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
