Eloy holiday boogie question

Recommended Posts

So say if someone could get a ticket for under $200 to show up in Eloy for 1 day (the first) should that person book said ticket -- will there be much jumping or will everyone be way to hung over to go up? If said person would show up he would really want to jump.

Last year, they opened Manifest late (and told us all they would)... I think it was 9 or 10 when they openned.......
We left that day, but as we were getting the trailer hooked up around noon there were 3 or 4 planes in the air................

If Eloy is anything like WFFC lots of people will be there but no one will really do anything as a group. At WFFC we had the DZ.com tent and everything and only like 8 or 9 people hung out there, everyone else stayed with the posse that was from their home DZ. It took 4 announcments at WFFC to get the DZ.com record attempts together and for the most part it was hard getting that many people there. I saw lots of faces lacking that were good at RW and at WFFC... *cough*Stacy*cough*

I have to disagree with you... I am only speaking for myself, but this event is strictly a dz.com event for me and several other people I have spoken to. Even though there will be several jumpers from my area, I will still be part of most of the group jumps - or at least I hope to be.

Look what happened at Perris earlier this year. True, the record attempt was weak at best, but the group jumps we did KICKED ASS!! I think most of the dz.commers hung out most of the time unless people were involved in their specific training or whatever.

This is what is most exciting for me - hanging out with many people from dz.com and having a good time. I can hang around with peeps from my area anytime, but this event happens just once a year.

Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool!

I'm not coming with anyone from my DZ so I plan on hanging out with the DZ.com gang. I also plan on jumping EVERY day I'm there. I say come on and jump with us even if it is just for the day.

I will have to disagree with ya here Phree........The Perris trip earlier in the year was just a small sampling of what to expect in Eloy....
We may not all hang out (80+) folks at the same time....but I assure you that at at least one function.....there are 60 DZ.commers that will all be in the same place at the same time....wish that you and Jess were joining us....wishing you and yours a happy holidy season.

LISTEN CAREFULLY MAGGOTS.

Cornholio is my designated driver. I will defend him with my fragile sobriety.:P

Look, I met my Norcal Posse THROUGH DZ.com! I met Matt at my own freaking DZ, Lummy at Davis, and I didn't know Sebazz was Sebazz until AFTER I had loaned him some gear at my DZ (I know better now:P) Every jump I did at Perris's Labor Day boogie was a DZ.com load.

Me, Cornholio, Lummy, and Ben will be hanging out. Sebazz knows freaking everybody. If you're low-time, we'll put you in the base. Feel the Byron Love, baby! Scoby was just off student status when we were at Perris, and he enjoyed riding the plane with us, but chose to do some solos.

I'm easy to spot. All my gear is in Superman colors. Like Quade says, the more garish the camera suit, the worse the camera flier. And I'm telling you I SUCK!

I'm looking forward to shooting the Mouth off of the step of the Skyvan, but so far that's the only plan, plus a Michele and a Moody jump. There's lots of cool stuff we can launch with jumpers of various skill levels.

I do want to get at least a 20 way in at some point, and I want to fly camera on some RW too.

My goal is to be on load one every day, and on a sunset load every day too.

Jumpjumpjump!

See you there, on the ground and in the air.
Damn! That rhymed like savoir-faire!

Dude, only 2 loads a day? Suck, you'll have to do better then that...:P

Well, it looks like I'll hit 300 at Eloy! I have 290 right now and I really don't see myself getting 10 jumps this weekend (wierder things have happened, though).

Who wants to get together for a big FF jump for my 300th?

When are you arriving? It looks like I'm poised to do my 100th just about the time you'll be doing your 300th. Of course you're probably a better FF than I am though. :)


Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I'll be there around mid-morning of the 26th. It all depends on how many jumps I can get this weekend as to when my 300th will be, but it would definately be cool to do your 100th and my 300th on the same dive!

And more then likely there will be people on the dive that are a LOT better then I am...*shrug* who cares, we'll have fun. That's what its all about.:P

Deuce, hon, "Shooting the Mouth off the skyvan" well that just sounds hysterical. I'm so excited I can barely sit still to type. I'll be on the lookout for ya as I'll already be there. You'll hear me I'm sure!

BTW...I don't know Sebazz but I'm still going.

I have also been called Old St. Nic. Well my last name is Nicolas. And I know if you've been naughty or nice. Oh and if you ever go low on a dive my reindeer will slow you down...:P

;)
I will party with the best, and still be up for first load ready to roll... I plan to be a dot.commer only. If I make it down of course...
