noname 0 #5 August 24, 2006 Listen to your instructor! (Except if he says that I am a no good trouble making drunk, in that case ignore him). Use Dropzone.com wisely ... when you need advice ask your instructor, do not believe everything that people tell you online. Buy a block of tickets as soon as you graduate. Make lots of jumps, stay current. There are a lot of great people at Lodi, jump with them, learn from them. Your instructor or Bill can recommend people for you to jump with after you graduate. Buy lots of beer. See you soon ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poisonivydonna 0 #6 August 24, 2006 goodmorning, what did you mean , buy a block of tickets ?? i assume i will see you in lodi ? how often do you jump ? are any of the tandem masters the actual instructors for the course ? im so excited i just want to know everything !!!

noname 0 #7 August 24, 2006 Hi, You will pay for all your jump course up front. Once you graduate you will be buying each jump individually. Each jump ticket is $15. You can buy tickets for $15 each, but if you buy a block of 50 tickets for $650 then it works out to $13 per ticket. I jump almost every weekend so you will see me. Come say hi! Some of the staff are also instuctors. Talk to Bill about signing up for the student course. Get moving and get signed up, you can't learn to skydive on the internet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skymama 37 #11 August 30, 2006 There's a new, small dz that opened in St. Mary's Georgia. I don't know much about it. There is a Skydive Jacksonville, but it's mostly a tandem factory. Palatka is the next closest, a smallish dz but with very nice people. There are people who post here who could make you feel welcome. Further down the road is where I jump in Deland, a large dz and then there is Titusville, a medium size dz.

I just havent been there yet, but I plan to check it out when I am off student status. I am happy to have two DZ's so close to home. Go Davis and Lodi!
