speedy 0 #1 July 26, 2005 So, our flights are booked and on the 18th Nov til the 1st Dec we will be staying in Corona which is 34 miles from Perris and 29 miles from Lake Elsinore What do we want to do? We want to try out some tunnel time The rest of our time we would like to spend meeting new people who are interested in doing Relative jumps. Nothing too big, 4-ways are nice and 8-ways would be good if the experience is there. Should my girlfreind get tired and I still want to do a few more jumps in the day, a good canopy coach would be nice to help me improve my swooping technique. My experience can be seen from my profile. My girlfriend has over 250 jumps, with over 100 of them in a 4-way team. This is a holiday we have booked and not a training camp Any tips or suggestions will be gratefully received. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyyhi 0 #2 July 27, 2005 Hey Dave, you two will absolutely love both dropzones. Elsinore is very 4-way friendly and has a nice vibe. There is a LO available on weekends and they have the ExCel Skills Camp available for getting to know folks who love RW. Perris is a big DZ that is always got something going on. Because of the shear size of the place it is a little bit more difficult to get to know people, but don't let that intimidate you. Just get in there and meet people. Also, hanging out after hours at the bombshelter (full service bar and grill) at Perris or the Tiki Bar (byob to share) at Elsinore is a great way to meet more people. The time of year you are coming is right after the Nationals. Most of the competition 4-way people will be looking to have some relaxing fun jumps at that time rather than training so it will be a great time to be local. As for tunnel time, you want to get in the tunnel with a coach to maximize your time there. Call the tunnel directly and tell them what you are looking for. They can hook you up. The phone numbers are on the Perris site. And regarding canopy coaching. . .both DZ's offer canopy coaching. However, I am only familiar with Elsinore's canopy school. . .Flight-1. Jonathan Tagle, from the PD Team and a PST gold medal winner, is an instructor there. With either DZ you will have no shortage of jumps and instruction in anything you like. Enjoy your trip. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
