AggieDave 6 #2 April 27, 2006 There's quite a few of us in TX. Some Dallas, Waller, Spaceland, Grandury, Stephinville, Aggieland jumpers...well, there's a lot of us all over the state.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

josheezammit 0 #3 April 27, 2006 don't forget about mighty san marcos! Ahh, what a wonderful world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 April 27, 2006 Hince the ellipse use in the sentence. There's a LOT of DZs in TX, a lot of really good ones and quite a few turbine DZs. Out of all them, only San Marcos isn't any fun...that's only because of this Josh guy that jumps there, otherwise its a badass DZ.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

jonjonson 0 #9 April 27, 2006 hey, lubbock is not that bad we have...... um....... the buddy holly center? yeah the only thing to do in lubbock is get married or get a drug addition. . . now there is an idea for a dropzone poll thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #10 April 27, 2006 QuoteI am a texas skydiver. west texas at that. I am jumping at eagles nest near midland, I am from lubbock and have to drive 120 miles to get to my drop zone. Heck, for west Texas, 120 miles is like driving to the jiffy store for a gallon of milk to everyone else. And I suppose Midland has a lot of "outs" for landing. As long as you miss the oil wells, you've got open flat ground, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonjonson 0 #11 April 27, 2006 on my 4 jump, I only made two turns, but i over shot the DZ. it is flat as far as you can see. but there is cactus everywhere. I miss the cactus on my landing but my parachute landed right on one. I spent 15 minutes carefully de thorning my chute. but yeah flat as hell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah, cactus and mesquite bushes. I've got scars from hiking near mesquite trees. But at least we don't have sand spurs, like Florida. Oh wait, yeah, we've got those too...

AggieDave 6 #22 April 28, 2006 QuoteYou going to the swoop meet at Waller two sundays from now? I hope he makes it, that would be a blast! I'm actually off that weekend so I'll be there as well. I have a feeling that with each meet this year its going to get more and more competitive. That's exciting, make it so Todd can't run away with it again this year. That and its cool, everyone is better this year. Its 9 days out and I'm already getting REALLY pumped.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
