  1. Wow! Good on you Pre! BB does the happy,happy sunset swooping tango tango lummy dance
  2. We already have an Opie, and since he lost his virginity...I think "Stud Muffin" is more appropriate.....Bwahhhhhhhh
  3. All exits from the balloon require standard skydiving gear. (This means that a main and reserve parachute are required in your container.)
  4. Ya know that Opie...he's just so dang cute! Hummmmm a bunch of Dropzone.com women....a few jello shots for Opsters...the camera in a well hidden spot....thoughts conjour...
  5. LOL but Sunny...he would like that! Maybe we should just taunt him a bit eh? Bwahhhhhhhhhh
  6. LOL well don't be disappointed, there are plenty of pixie hugs to go around
  7. We are now at 250 Dropzone.commers. #250 to confirm was our very own OPIE!!! Yeah! I am going to give him hugs everyday...oh goody Opie is coming!!!
  8. High Alti wingsuit jumps will be allowed as far as I know at this time. If that should change, I will let you know. B
  9. Here are some things for you to consider if you intend to make a high altitude jump at the boogie. Exit will be about 21,000 feet above ground level. At the altitude you are operating with about 60% less Oxygen then you would have on the ground. You may be weak and tired. You may be less alert and your problem solving skills may be compromised. Therefor, plan a very simple skydive. Expect that floaters may fall off the plane. You will be back in denser air within about 30 seconds of freefall. Expect a total of over 100 seconds of freefall. Symptoms of hypoxia includre fatigue, headache, confusion, and a false sense of well being. In some, lathargy, confusion, slow or inappropriate response to questions, and blue lips and nail beds are good indicators. Oxygen will be turned on at 12,500 feet AGL. If one keeps their mask on until just before exit, remains calm,minimizes movement, and breathes normally, you should be OK. If you feel weak or dizzy you can always ride down with the plane. (we will however keep your ticket if you chose this option) Minimal movement not only makes it easier to withstand the effects of hypoxia, but it minimizes the chance of loosening pin or pilot chute
  10. The names will be placed on the pilot door of the aircraft. you will get your photo taken with the jumpship and it will be placed outside of manifest.
  11. The Skydive Arizona Otters now have new names! Congratulations to the following folks for their winning submissions. See me for jump ticket with your name on it when you get here!!

  12. The jumpship with the CD player will be "Miss Eloy" of course
  13. Bwahhhhhhhhh well the owner of SDA's name is Lil...guess our own Diamond was creative...ensuring that "Diamond" left a mark here in Eloy

  15. Kolla~ Hope that your B-day was wonderful...wishing you all that you wished for. BB
  16. Bwahhhhhhhhh I think the age limitation will serve me well
  17. No restrictions...just use good judgment. No prerequisites at this time for the swoop park, but unless one is a very good canopy pilot...I wouldn't recommend it.
  18. Let me clarify for you. The North landing area (Main) is a high performance area. The landings are East to West or West to East only (but not at the same time) no matter what the winds are doing. The first person down sets the pattern and all are to follow that pattern (even if it's downwind)or land off in the desert. The south area (alternate) the first person down sets the pattern in to the wind everyone follows the same pattern or lands off! If you are uncomfortable landing in cross-winds..DO NOT land in the North Area.
  19. Start now! LOL It sounds as though there will be several camps scheduled in the future
