DZBone 0 #2 June 26, 2001 The only problem with this is that you have to go to Florida in July.To simulate the experience, stand in a sauna, turn the humidity to 150%, add vicious biting flies, chiggers and aligators, and put in a tape of shock reality news programming.Oh, and make some great skydives at Perris or Eloy.

skymama 37 #7 June 26, 2001 Marc-I was on one of those loads, but I don't remember which one! I wish I would have known you were going to be there, you could have done a 4-way with us. I was doing RW with 2 guys, and I have a white jumpsuit with navy and fuchsia on it. Let me know the next time you are going out!Andrea"Up high, I feel like I'm alive for the very first time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gets a bit busy at times, but not so much this time of year.. Which airplane you jump - the "Supersonic Otter" or the "Rocketvan"? Now you know why I was starting to get ready at 8k down there in Seb.. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymedic 0 #11 June 27, 2001 Michele- Andrea, Mike, and I get to jump all year round too. so there. :)Andrea- I dont remember seeing ya, but then again wasnt really looking. I was the guy who dropped like a rock(right mike?) but definately would be interested in the 4-way!!! Mike- yeah DeLand was OK. No complaints here. The view wasnt as nice but any skydive is better than no skydive. and cant complain about the 20 minute drive compared to sebastian. Yes, I understand why you were getting ready at 8K now. by the way had fun last weekend even if ya couldn't keep up!!!marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #12 June 27, 2001 Marc, you would have fit right in with the guys I was jumping with-they were falling like rocks too!Sounds like we will be having some interesting jumps by the time our Aug. weekend rolls around if we all can make it. Marc and JT will be falling like bricks, and Mike, Carrie and I will be arching like crazy. I can't wait!

Marc and JT will be falling like bricks, and Mike, Carrie and I will be arching like crazy. I can't wait! I can fall fast, or fall slow, as needed.. I just didn't expect Marc to fall THAT fast, so I wasn't dressed appropriately.. Need a fast fall rate? I'll just jump in shorts and t-shirt.. Slow rate? Freefly suit.. Oh, that reminds me.. You guys need to learn to freefly by then, so we can do that too.. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #14 June 27, 2001 JT says it is just a Georgia thing about being slow, but I look up at lots of formations and JT was gone before I could get a hand on him. I swear the boy has bricks in his shoes. When is everyone getting together in Deland....I may try and crash the party as well if that is ok!!?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #15 June 28, 2001 Hey Mouth-Now, JT has been bragging to me that all of his weight is not in his shoes, it's somewhere else since he is Italian after all! We're meeting at Deland on Aug.4-5. Come on down and join the party.Mike- I can freefly...I've done it twice. You just better be able to stay out of my way. LOL!Andrea"Up high, I feel like I'm alive for the very first time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #16 June 28, 2001 And might I add a VERY FINE looking young Italian at that. JT is very easygoing and has a beatiful smile. Oh to be young again!! I actually told him it was in his ass just to be polite around his Dad at the DZ. Not that I didn't shock them anyway.Thanks for the heads up on Deland....sounds like a blast. I love road trips!
