blacklabjumper 0 #1 July 8, 2008 I guess the title says it all. I am a freeflyer and i am going to be in new england later this week. I will probably be there on thursday or friday. Also, wondering if there are people to freefly with and how welcoming they are of visitors?Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumpah 0 #2 July 8, 2008 Yes its open and the jumpers there are welcoming...intro yourself to manifest, be friendly, ask for a dz briefing, follow the local rules and etiquette and you shouldn't have any trouble finding people to jump with if they are around. There are not a lot of fun jumpers who hang around during the weekdays other than staff, students, and tandems, but you'll get more as work lets out in the day, and on the weekend loads will turn. Fridays are better than Thursdays, and often Wednesday enough belly fliers and freefliers will be there which can keep the otter making regular loads. Call before you make the trek as the otter may be in for its 100 hour or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #3 July 8, 2008 Jumptown in Orange, MA is also open Thu-Sun and has lots of welcoming freefly types. Dave Brown of Team Mandrin will be available for freefly coaching and organizing this weekend. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
