Tf15 0 #27 March 29, 2003 Quote ok well how bout this...do I handle getting all my jump tickets thru the net or do I do it at the convention I mean I dont know how kosher it would be walking around with 3000 bones in my back pocket for a week. And as for the drive, My drive is from Macon, GA to Rantoul. Forget how long it took me to get from here to chicago. Took me just under 12 hours Macon to Rantoul on Jan 2 this year, including 100 miles through a snowstorm.

Don't worry, we're "mostly harmless". And, yes, you must jump with one of us.

PhreeZone 20 #31 March 29, 2003 How many jumps do you have? (your profile is a bit wack) They have different tents based on what you want. The Hellfish/Muff Bros and RB's tend to do some organizing of stuff like Magic Carpets, Tubes, and other fun no pressure jumps. Then comes the bigger, slightly more serious stuff. Things start at 6 ways doing multiple points all the way up to some formation loads with 30 people. I hung out with BillVon, Amy, DJan and all the great people in the lower experience tent. There are all low pressure skydives with experience levels from 50 jumps to 1500 jumps. This is where all new jumpers should go first. The Freefliers have a tent as well as the CRW dawgs. The organizer picks you up and away you go. Color Concepts is way organized jumps, these are the guys that do the stuff that makes TV since its so cordinated. The Golden Knights did some organizing last year too. The Tandem and AFF tents are there also. All the organizing except Color Concepts and the Knights was free. I flew video on a few loads for BillVon and really enjoyed it (I did it for free to everyone, I bought my own slot) You can see an example of one of the RW 6's ways that BillVon organized and I videoed in the video on Freefall.com right now. If you want to skip an organizer (I used one for 5 out of 35 jumps last year) you just walk out to the loading tents. In 2002 Slot 1 was the Biplane, then the SDA Otters and Skyvan, slot 5 was Mullins King Air, then 6,7 and 8 were Casa's. Helicopter loading area was off to the side and the ramp was used to load the C130. The Balloons took off from the spectator landing area every morning and night that the weather played nicely.

WFFC 1 #32 March 29, 2003 Quote Ok here is my big big qeustion. So many people I have talked to have said that since Im pretty much a virgin to the convention that I have to jump with a Rodriguez(sp) brother... Famosa (Flyangel2) and Myself (Arano) will jump with you. Then at the witching hour, we will sacrifice your convention virginess on the alter. Just remember, it's only sex so smile and enjoy it...----- ~~~Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WFFC 1 #33 March 29, 2003 QuoteAll the organizing except Color Concepts and the Knights was free...(Did I forget anything?) Yep. Forgot the Knights were free too. If you have the opportunity to jump with them, do it. Very down to earth group of guys. But, that Cece girl that's part of the team I believe whips their butts into shape if they start to get out of the line.

Kris 0 #35 March 29, 2003 Quote How is my profile conflicting...I have 5,000,000 jumps and an H liscense. Your profile doesn't exactly lend itself to useful information. You want to know about organizing at the WFFC, but without knowing your skill level it's a bit hard to know where to send you. You dig?
