platypii 20 #1 October 24, 2013 I just recently moved to San Francisco, and I've checked out several DZs on the weekends, but I'm often free to jump on weekdays. Some questions for the locals: - What are the best DZs for weekday jumping? - Which ones are even open on weekdays? Fridays? - How frequently are loads going? - Any chance of finding people to jump with? (fun jumpers or coaches) - Anyone want to jump with me? (~150 jumps, would like to work on tracking skills or belly)BASEline - Wingsuit Flight Computer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jephprospect 0 #2 October 24, 2013 Monday Lodi was turning loads all day and plenty of fun jumpers. I will be out there next Monday as well and will jump with you if you would like. PM me. Welcome to Norcal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 October 25, 2013 Byron's not open during the week, occasionally on Fridays. Skydance is closed Monday/Tuesday, though usually open if Monday is a holiday. Lodi's 7 days a week. Don't know about the other two, and can't really comment on the weekday scenes since I'm typically weekends only. I will take a moment to pimp out the NCSL - we're having 4-way skills camps and other events regularly, rotating around the DZs ... check us out on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaSkydivingLeague"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

jumpsalot-2 3 #4 October 25, 2013 You forgot to put Skydive Sacramento on your list. Jumping at the Lincoln Regional Airport. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Life is short ... jump often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickfrey 0 #5 October 25, 2013 Lodi is reliably busy as long as the weather is good. If you can land pack and gear up in Half an hour you'll get four pretty easily. But not Wingsuits or Tracking dives (even plain cloth/jumpsuit) allowed. Davis has been hit and miss weekdays for me, two thursdays with good weather saw only a couple 172 loads, others I was doing #7 at sunset from 18k. Sac, bring your own crew (i think they'll send the KA up for 6 paid) or call ahead and check on tandem schedule. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platypii 20 #6 October 25, 2013 Cool, thanks for the info everyone! Sorry I left off Sacramento... it's just a bit farther drive than the rest, but I will have to come check it out sometime. See you out there!BASEline - Wingsuit Flight Computer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LukeCrouch 0 #7 August 7, 2018 May I hijack this thread? :) I got superlucky and now Im going to San Francisco tomorrow and will stay there for 10 days! Id like to jump almost every day, so Im asking the same question as above. Id be also really thankful for any other tips on accommodation/rental car/places to eat and so on. And if I should bother to bring my BASE rig... :) Thanks a lot, Luke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakebaustin 11 #8 October 11, 2018 I could be wrong but I think Lodi is the only DZ on the list that's actually open 7 days a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdobleman 0 #9 October 16, 2018 Byron is now open Wednesday-Sunday. Best to call out and see when the tandems are showing up Wed-Fri to get an idea of how many loads will be flown. Main goals in life: Be on the "Jumpers Over Eighty" (JOE) World Record and attend the Lost Prairie Boogie once after I'm gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
