i am pretty sure that there is no hotel within walking distance.... and they are all at least $65 a night (no skydiving discounts) there is a wal-mart in town... you might as well buy a tent or rent a trailer. plus, it's fun to be @ the dz and they have great bathroom/shower facilities. *hope this helps* ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

MARCO ISLAND B@@GIE IS CANCELLED 2,15pm thursday
rocketdog replied to judedre's topic in Events & Places to Jump
you know, i have a huge problem with this. i am sure "a lot" of work went into the boogie, but it obviously wasn't "enough" work! i didn't see the spot -- may have been heading inland/may have not -- but when you are planning a boogie in a COMPACT CITY, WITH A TIGHT, HEAVY-SPECTATOR AREA you *must* consider outs. That landing area (and city) had zero outs..... especially when you consider that some people with their B-licenses received it when they had only 50 jumps. i remember having 50 jumps & doubt i could've hit that beach area. i think it serves the organizers right to have their good name smeared. not only were the facts & alternatives poorly communicated, but they have not done anything to make ammends (as i asked earlier, did you receive your registration $ back?) or clear their reputation. ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com -

now i do not know EVERY minute detail, but i would think that if "a lot of work" was put into this event, the city/landing area/other politics of the entire matter would have been worked out. yes, some unforseen events did arise, but i hardly feel bad for the organizers -- did you get your registration fee back? i think skydivers were the ones getting screwed.... see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com -
braden, brendon (freeflyswc) & i plan on leaving Z-Hills either Wednesday night/Thursday morning to drive down for the boogie. although its not MY van, if you still need a ride, we might be able to work something out.... ....EXCEPT the 2 of us are just crashing in the van & unless its gonna be a Hollywood-sandwich , you might be a bit squished. keep me/us/EVERYONE posted or e-mail me or PM or whateva, whateva ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

i doubt it will be 80 @ night too. actually, i froze my ass off new years' eve 2 years ago! .....definitely bring warmer clothes too (just in case)! ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

i would think that having a hook knife would be ideal for seatbelt-related incidents. i know it's possible to make it to the door with a seatbelt still fastened. a hook knife could easily cut through them. ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

i would definitely recommend getting in the tunnel (possibly before your 1st jump).... it gives you a feel for the force so you aren't like a fish out of water on your 1st jump. it probably seems expensive, but add up the cost of your first 10 AFF skydives and compare it to the cost of about 10 minutes in the tunnel... PLUS you get video, PLUS you can hop out of the tunnel/have a quick debrief/hop back in (as opposed to waiting for your parachute to be packed, etc.) hope this helps! blue skies when ya get there!!!! ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

RANDOM Q: i know this is doubtful, but does anyone know if there will be any *music*? i was debating on whether or not to bring my stereo.... do you think there will be music on a PA system / electrical outlets? anyway, i will be more than happy to bring it if people think it's a good idea ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

definitely Tampa. Orlando will work too, but its probably an additional half hour onto the trip. no idea about a shuttle, have fun though! ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

nurse it well (don't wanna reinjure it a THIRD time)... when i sprained my ankle (for like the 3,000th time) i kept current by watching videos & going over the diveflow in my head, even doing it on the floor sounds cheesey but it made me feel more comfortable! SPEEDY HEALING! ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

SO I'M CONFUSED.... couldn't find this anywhere on the website/thread but sorry if it's a repeat Q: are we actually jumping into an airport, or is the landing area technically the beach? i'm asking because what if you are not D-licensed?! ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

the movie "Death To Smoochy" is filled with tons of suggestive, hilarious one-liners. ...degenerate scumbag ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

...OOHHHH, Arnold Swarzenehrgkrhfihfcger movies almost slipped by the radar. i would venture to say that the majority of his movies qualify for this category ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

whoever said Vanilla Sky (sorry i didnt copy the post): i agree! the motive was interesting & original, but it seemed like they were stretching to tie things together. ~h see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

really? i thought it was complete crap that the climax of the movie came down to a Nokia cell phone conversation.... and how could he NOT have a signal in the middle of downtown L.A. (or whatever city he was in) blah! but i'm sure there's worse.... ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com
