Rover 11 #4 January 3, 2011 Why do you need 'camera training' for Lodi? I know for a fact that jumpers with less than 300 jumps have done camera for tandems at Lodi. With your jump numbers, you should be able to walk straight into a job.2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he finds a vertaran...Steve Scott saved me probably hundreds of jumps with just a simple sit down and talk over a beer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davelepka 4 #11 January 4, 2011 QuoteI have no dog in this fight, but I am curious: Why Lodi, in particular? Cheap jumps is my guess. It's interesting, however, that Bill Dause's last plane to crash (due to poor MX) happened in Canada, but then this guy will leave Canada and go striaght to the location of Bill's other poorly maintained planes.

traker 0 #14 January 4, 2011 Hey guys, Going to Lodi because of price. Whoever guessed that one is bang on. Also, there is a few objects in particular in the area we are hoping to hit. Not going to work but to train. In regards to Tj, is that his home dz. Does he do one on one coaching or anything like that?

You know Canada is a big place right? Actually according to google, Toronto is about 100 miles closer to Lodi than Pitt Meadows. But you're right, he is going for the cheap jump tickets. and the base jumping, and the weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
