I highly recommend going to this if you can, i went last year and shot vid for Jack Berkes group, really fun people, great parties, tortilla flinging, way outta hand. There is nothing like watching 50 to 60 hotair balloons flying by maybe 10 feet over your head. Pretty awesome. The view from the door of the Casa of the Gulf of Mexico is fantastic! Don't forget to buy the really nice $2 tee shirts from the FBO at Ellington too, wearing mine now.

Besides the two pinched discs in my neck that cause my left index fingertip to tingle I would have to say my worst injury is going from making 48k a year to making 10 dollars per jump AP (after packer). however, I am now living my dream of being a professional cameraflyer, so I sleep pretty well now, can't afford to do alot, but I do get say that I have the coolest job there is ( my opinion of course) .

3725/8=465.6. made over 750 jumps since Jan 1, and the packers in Eloy take care of me, reserve rides since Jan 1, 0.

My buddy Gerry Kiely was was badly injured back in june due to dropping one of his toggles, among his many injuries was the closing pin on his necklace protruding from his neck. Please do not wear them in the air.

Cameraflyers should NEVER give away their footage, ever!!! Doing so will only make it harder for those of us who make our living from air to air video. Thank you Jack!!! Gordo

I wish I could take some credit for our website but it is the product of my teammate Dave Burton, my job is to fly the camera and be the comedy relief. Thanks for the compliment I will pass it along to Dave. Gordo

It does not rain much here, even in December, not so the rest of the country, come out and JUMP.

The public is always allowed and are always welcomed at Skydive Arizona especially for the 300 ways. It is really great to watch the snowbirds that come out daily to watch us jump, they applaud the really nice swoops and if you crash and walk away you will get a standing ovation, not many places around that can say that. Everyone should come out here, jump, and watch the best organized 300 way attempts to date and maybe witness the new world record.

This is a classic case of post whoring. I'm appalled!!!

Hey Drew, due to the information vacuum here in Eloy, I just heard about your crash and injuries. Going back through the archives I waas able to find all of the posts and get informed about what happened. Really glad to hear you are on the mend, and it sounds like you are getting the best of care now. I was back in Oregon at the beginning of June and had a hard time getting around to see everyone as I needed to be back for 4 way training and had much to do (drove back to AZ) but I was hoping to get down that way and visit you and Kevin and also scout out some realty for a friend. Unfortunately Car repairs and other prep kept me too busy. Take care of yourself, heal faster, get back in the air soon. Gordo

Maybe, back off on the caffeine, just a little.

Not to steal Perris's thunder but there will be a Skyventure tunnel in Arizona about 40 minutes from Skydive Arizona, near the town of Chandler. This tunnel should be operating in about 9 months. Two tunnels in the Southwest, no more expensive, sweaty Orlando!!!!

Relines used to be about 175 to 200 bucks and take about 2 weeks + or -. You can email them instead of trying to find the time to call, they are really good about replying.

stinkerbelle, when are you coming down here? gordo

You need to go! You can't throw a rock and not hit a world or national champion, they are all cool people and the best part of all is they will jump with you, all you have to do is ask! Lots of aircraft to jump from, 14 dollar jumps, free beer every night, what else do we jumpers need? Did I mention Arizona warm winter weather? Gordo

The wife said that her purse WITH your check inside was stolen. That confirms that they recieved your payment. The theft of her purse was not your fault. They owe you the suit or your money back, their tough luck. Do check with whatever institution that you made the purchase of the money order from, they can tell you if the check was cashed. Good luck.
