Don't laugh! It's on! How about a naked night way record?! I'm not laughing! I'm serious! Get Galli posting! Night would be the only way I'd go naked. Oh, but you've got those highway lights and the local media will be out in force. Fuggedaboudit. Plus there's the whole entaglement issue.

Pop back in and let us know you are reading this stuff. Your profile says you live right next door to Byron, in Oakley, so I can't figure out why you'd travel all the way out to Lodi to train. I started AFF progression with 4 other people and I'm the only one still jumping, in no small part because I live so close to the DZ. Wind is an issue at the DZ's in our area, less so in Lodi. But it is nice to pop over to do a level when the weather is good, and still have a lot of the day left. I'm not trying to push Byron, I just live next door in Antioch, and it's convenient. Byron doesn't do the static line thing. I've never done a tandem, and didn't have to repeat a level, again, I don't know about the static line training, but I can see the advantage to only really being focused on canopy control instead of freefall skills. Canopy control seems to be the place where all the injuries are these days.

Yeah, baby! Deuce DiabloPilot B-squared Lummy Cornholio Chopchop Skymama SkydiveXXL SFC + 1 LizzieB + multiple hot skydiver chicks who will post prior to the event (They are only eye-candy if they don't post. Posting makes them value-added!) Sebazz Celljumper Flymysky Hookitt! Freeflyz Ladyskydiver Shannon from Byron (I don't know her DZ.handle) Nice NorCal kinda thing going. Almost half the skydivers are chiquitas! Maybe I can talk JP into taking Mrs. JP, (My wife, not his mom) into another tandem! Hooo-wha! Funtime!

I am digging it! Freeflyz, you are going to dig the freefly vibe! I got my coaching there with VertKurt. Anybody who wants to improve thier freefly skills, I think all of the Guano and Jank team members do coaching. Seriously the best investment you could make in your skills.

Davis, Pop. (Sacramento) Very nice DZ. Hey, and as a Texan I'm sure you would approve of the shooting range that's within walking distance. Everything is within walking distance. The landing area is 100 yards from manifest, and the loading area is 100 yards on the other side of manifest. You limo-riding Hollister people will be so tired!

No! Just didn't know if you were going to be cave jumping or something. Great to hear you're in! Skymama! When I had got my first new 170 Spectre I was swearing and sobbing and whining cause I couldn't get it in the bag. Hookitt (TIMMAE!) is the best packing instructor on the planet. He uses stows and everything.

We had this conversation! I still want to keep my sidemount but need more room up top to copy McGowan's setup. Film+Digital+Flash+Flash Chrome finish? Hmmm. I kinda dig the MonoUno flame job, but Blue to red.

We will be taking the skyvan. Call Pat if you want on. BB Arizona peeps, that is the deal from heck! The air is clear here. You can see the Sierras and the Ocean from 18,000 feet. If you need night landings for your D license, this is the place to do it. Highway light carts. Ah, night freefall in the clean cool air, and a wayhellafullylit landing area. DZ.NIGHT RW record? Hahar!

June 25-29. DiabloPilot has the homepage as his tag line.

Deuce DiabloPilot B-squared Lummy Cornholio Chopchop Skymama SkydiveXXL R2Hubert? Sebazz? LizzieB? We got a tailgate coming. Tailgates really up stupid human trick potential.
-
That's quite the stable. What's your cut?
-
Who all is going? I know Jams can't make it, so: Deuce DiabloPilot B-squared Lummy Cornholio Chopchop Skymama Any Hollister peeps? Shannon, Jim and Sandi from Byron? There's a raft jump in there somewhere and maybe an attempt at the RW record and a ferocious hybrid record. Holla-back youngins!
-
Yeah, all that math trying to calculate what fraction of a day you have left. WHat's that, like 18000 seconds? Start drunk dialing vendors! I want a custom painted Bat-Rack. Hook me up!
-
Are you drunk yet?
-
Will you even remember the Square 1 phone number by the end of hte day? Wendy W. Yeah, but it'll be wrong. Something like 1-800-BITE ME!
-
Oh no...why are you asking that? Surf's Up! Skymama, you getting there on the 25th?
-
I'm up for whatever. A raft, though, I'm gonna be taking pictures. And Katie? You hang out with that Monkey-man guy who can pack his canopy one-handed in 5 minutes while giving birdman suit instruction. I hang out with a 66 year old chain-smoking camera flier. Slight difference in performance pressure
-
They gonna have an acoustic band at the American Boogie? JP, yeah you, since that's your house, could you find out how many of the DZ.jumpers are going to the American Boogie? Get Galli to post a couple of times so we can reset the record! Puh-leeeeze. JP ( the other one, with the moonboot thing on)
-
Bully for you. I think the issue is some people CAN'T pack. I can turn a 10 if I have to, but it's just not as much fun getting on the plane all sweaty and wondering what I'm forgetting. Doing video with two rigs and a packer I come out way ahead of packing a single rig. Plus I'm not all wiped out by the 9th or 10th one. Skymama, I thought Chop was just being a hardass for making you pack until I realized you haven't picked up the skill yet. You really do gotta know how, cause sometimes the packers are backed up and can't even get you on a 30 minute call, and you just have to pack it yourself so you can come out and play. Don't want to have you sitting on the ground at the American Boogie instead of being the subject of my first magazine cover, right?

The only reason to show up at all is because you might end up working there again.... Tick, tock, tick, tock.....

Got mine via E-mail. Took 3 days.

You can do a tandem when you're 16 there too. And there is no waiver process. "Your jumpticket is your waiver!" It's a very interesting DZ, with tons of great planes and lots both RW and Freefly. I have no experience with their instructors or their AFF program. Once you have your A license, and are current as shown by your signed logbook, you'll be fine visiting other DZ's. People won't go "Oh, she trained at Lodi, give her the extra stuff to sign". I do know several people who trained there, haven't heard any horror stories. I have about 20 jumps there, all camera. Have you looked at the other options, like Davis and Byron?
