Squeak 17 #26 November 21, 2012 Quote Quote Quote Quote That one. The one now undercutting every other DZ in central FL. Apparently there are customers that care about nothing but price. You are already familiar with Lodi. It's my experience that a FUN Dz is made by the jumpers more-so than the staff. IF the jumping is cheaper and the jumpers work at making it a fun place to be, I see no issue with it. Also Isn't you country all about promoting free market competition? Absolutely! On all fronts! search Lodi or Bill Dause Yup Lodi IS a fun and inexpensive DZ but as with all purchases, Caveat emptor. Dont be a fucking lemming, do you home work, take your chances and quit ya bitchinYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

popsjumper 2 #27 November 21, 2012 Hell, for $10/pop you could have midgets peddling the damned plane....take ME! Besides, mechanics is for sissies. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danornan 79 #28 November 21, 2012 Personally, I'd be concerned about jumping out of the cheapest airplane. I know that you have a parachute on your back, but you still have to get out!Dano Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern_Man 0 #29 November 21, 2012 As far as I know (and I know much less than everything) the Ranch has not had plane or other issues the way Lodi has. I'm not a big fan of lawsuits and that split seemed to be pretty ugly but sometimes this is just the way of the world--I don't know the inside story and who was right/wrong/etc. In the end the guy bought an existing DZ and IF he is providing a safe jump operation and helping put downward pressure on jump prices that seems like a good deal for fun jumpers. I'm not a FL local, so I have no dog in the fight."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
