If my memory serves me right, the name of the bridge is El Puente Viejo de Colorado in La Naranja (i think i am not 100% for sure. YEs i recommend them. Youll llike if u have bunejee jumped yet. Omar B-24801

2 years ago I went white water rafting and bungee jumped 3 times off the bridge at La Naranja outside of San Jose, Alajuela. That was an awesome weekend. Omar B-24801

I occassionally go to Costa Rica at least twice a year for business. Do you have a contact number you can give me so next time im there ill give them a call? Omar B-24801

my DZ if you ask for it will put the video on a CD. For $99 you get the video, stills, and CD. Not a bad deal IMO. Omar B-24801

Skydive Key West is a tandem factory and doesnt like expierence jumpers but theyll like you if you pay the $35 ticket to 10k. Skydive Miami is the closest dropzone from Key West. Its about 2.5 hours away located in Homestead about 25 miles south of Miami. At the moment for the winter, the Super Otter from AerOhio is down here. $19 to 14,999 ft in 12 minutes. Omar B-24801

i just fade it and keep it short in the top. pretty much every young person in Miami has hair faded just like mine. Omar B-24801

Nope I am not in any armed services, but have considered it a few times into entering the military, to serve my country and to challenge myself. I still might do it. Omar B-24801

Here of me and my girlfriend. She looks young but shes really 22. Omar B-24801

I am just beginning to actually get somewhat good in my sit and stand. As I eventually want to learn headdown, should i just get freefly pants or go for the whole suit? For the moment, I am using sweat pants and a long sleeve shirt until i can raise enough money for a suit or pants. Omar B-24801

i recently saw a 40 way when I went to Deland for the first time. When everyone tracked away and opened, it looked like it was raining people. Omar B-24801

LOL...what ever happened to our old buddy Clinton Radloff? Omar B-24801

Did my first jump when i turned 18; i am 19 now. Damn I feel like im getting old. LOL Omar B-24801

When I visited Skydive Deland this past weekend, inside the gear store, there is a picture with him with DZ staff. Looks like he had his own rig too. Omar B-24801

The movie really left me speechless at the end. I knew about what happened but i didnt know to the extent that the movie showed. And yes it is a very very graphic movie. Omar B-24801

yea i was astounded as to the amount of people there. And more astoundedWhen i got there I saw the trapeze set up and some guy juggling and I thought to myself is this a circus or a dropzone? Another thing that impressed me was how the organized those 40 ways and 3 planes up in the air. Skymama maybe you saw me or went up on a load together. I went up on the Porter twice (they stuff us in there like sardines in a tin can, very cramp), and one Skyvan load. I was wearing a navy blue & gold Odyssey. I had an all blue with gold ribs canopy. Omar B-24801

I work for Starbucks and I get payed $6.50 an hour not including tips which could run .29 cents to $2.00 extra (amount of tips depends on the location) I worked in an upscale community and got almost $2.00 extra an hour. Now I work at another location and I get like .90 extra an hour. The people are really nice, management is really nice and if they know youre a student you just tell them when is your availability and how many hours you wanna work. The company has has great benefits like dental and health insurance. Omar B-24801

Yup, Williston is a USPA dropzone. Maybe I should contact USPA to tell them about these incidents. Yea my home DZ is Skydive Miami in Homestead. Its a relatively small DZ, but very nice and very professional and well ran DZ. We usually have a Caravan but for the winter we have a Super Twin Otter that takes us to 15k in 12 mins. Where do you jump out regularly MarkM? Omar B-24801

Well 2 friends and I left Friday morning 5am from Miami to go to the University of Florida Collegiate Boogie at Skydive Williston. We drove 6 hours to see that the DZ was a terrible place to jump at. The only thing going for them was they had a CASA for the boogie. We get there and one of my friends who doesnt have his own gear yet, goes to rent a rig. Well he check the reserve seal on the rental and he sees that it looks like it was tampered with because it was hanging on by one piece of string. He takes it to the DZO and shows it to her. Her response was that it might have been the girl who only uses that rig that must have done that. The DZO takes it to what im guessing is the DZ Manager and shows it to him and his response was not to tell my friend about it, and then the DZO says but he was the one who discovered it and he replied well just give him another rental. My friend was scared shitless, when he overhead all of this. The DZO comes back with another rig and gives it to him. He checks it out and it seems to be OK. 20 minutes before the first CASA load will be up I checked the reserve repack card on the rig and it hasnt been repacked since April 2001. It should have been repacked several times since but wasnt. I told my friend and he showed it to the DZO and she looks at it and says that her rigger always forgets to write it down. Then my friend was like no thanks i aint jumping that. Well, me and our other friend went up and did a 2 way sit fly, we open around 3000 feet. I look up and about 150 feet away from me is jumpers still in freefall. Even though i have around 90 jumps and my friend about 120, we open high; the people that were still in freefall had less experience than me and my friend and they were opening around 1800 feet. I was afraid that someone was gonna fall right on top of me and that would be the end. Luckily, we landed safely. This didnt happen just that time but 2 more times. After night fall, we left vowing never to return there again. We slept at a friends house in Gainesville, and woke up the next morning and decided to head up to Deland. We get there and I was in awe at what I saw: a real DZ. My home DZ is sufficient and very professional but so far nothing compares to Skydive Deland. We got there around noon, and quickly sign the waivers and manifest ourselves on the first available load, on the Porter. After we got down, we waited for a Skyvan load which we got on and then a another Porter load afterwards. I was amazed to see 7 Birdman suits on the same Skyvan load that i was on, I had never seen a Birdman suit in person and in front of me is 7! By 3:30 the rest of the days loads were full. The way this DZ is run is very efficient and professional. I was in love with this place. So we camp out at the DZ and even late at night there were people drinking and chillin together. I was in awe. We wake up, it is Sunday morning, and it is total overcast. We wanted to get a few jumps in before we head back to Miami. We start packing up out stuff, eat an early lunch at the DZ restaurant and leave back toward Miami. As we were on I-95, I had an idea, i said lets stop by Skydive Sebastian, at first they decided that we were in a hurry to get back but then changed their mines when we decided we had a little time to kill. So we call and get directions to the DZ. We get there and my overall impression is that it is a very nice DZ, but not has hectic as Deland is. On the place I got to sit next to Mike Swanson, very nice guy, I wish i would have been able to jump with him, but we didnt have enough time for a second jump. We get one jump out of the CASA and get our rigs packed and head back to Miami. All in all, it started as a shitty weekend but ended as a trip ill never forget. I will be definitely head back to Deland soon. Omar B-24801

The way our club would raise money is to sell food like hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and sodas at the DZ since the nearest place to eat is 15 mins away. We would easily make $200 on a weekend. But that would go to members who helped out with the BBQs to pay for their student jumps. As far as I can see, SGA is not going to give us alot of money to buy a rig. But Skydive Miami gives us 25% off new equipment . Thats how I was able to buy my rig, saved me more than $1000. Omar B-24801

After doing my AFF level 1 up in Quincy, FL, I came back home to Miami, and started to finish up the rest of my AFF at Skydive Miami. The staff is very friendly and professional and the place is run efficiently with safety always being priority number 1. It is a relatively small DZ, but that makes it a more personal and friendly place to be. The staff is always more than willing to help you out with any questions you might have. I am proud to have Skydive Miami as my home DZ. It is my home away from home.

Aviattr, what happened and what was Icarus' reponse? Omar B-24801

The DZ has a King Air. For the boogie, they will have the King Air, a Twin Otter. The president of the UF club told me that he is working on getting a CASA. He said it looks probable. Omar B-24801
