JumpingKayAus 0 #1 December 5, 2001 Hey guys............I am headed to Vegas for the week of Christmas. I went to Skydive Las Vegas' website, and they don't allow 'fun jumpers'. What the f@ck???? I know, I know....I read the post awhile back about the dude that runs that place. I know he's a shmuck. But the question still remains: Where else can I jump in Vegas AND rent gear???? All of your info is truly appreciated! Standing behind him even when he's wrong~JumpingKayAus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of your info is truly appreciated! If you were in Socal I'd offer you my spare rig (Racer/Silhouette 170) but I'm kinda far from Vegas. Another option (not quite skydiving, but close) is the wind tunnel. It's worth the time to try it.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #8 December 5, 2001 wow,i thought that gravity zone was just a wind tunnel... that is so cool that theyare a dz. ill be stationed there soon. i though i was gonna hafta drive for hours to find a dz that isnt run by a shmuck...(btw kayaus, do you know the definition of that word?) its good to see you around again! where've you beenHave fun, LIVE FREE, SkydiveJT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #9 December 5, 2001 Nah. Gravity Zone is also a dropzone south of Vegas. I plan on swinging through there on the 27th or 28th of December. You would not be able to jump at Skydive Las Vegas; no fun jumpers allowed at Mikey's tandem factory. ChuckMy webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brokeneagle 0 #10 December 5, 2001 BTW, jtval, it's spelled "schmuck". That's the biggest one of those there is. The next size smaller is "schmecke", etc. "pitsilla" is the smallest measurement of that type I know of... and I'd give THAT measurement to the guy in Vegas that doesn't allow fun jumpers- save schmuck for someone worthy of it...

PhreeZone 20 #11 December 5, 2001 I think the wind tunnel is called Flyaway Indoor Skydiving.I'm not sure what to put here right now..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
