billvon 3,070 #26 June 14, 2004 Some other things that Perris has that you might want to add: Lots of team rooms A loft on premises A wind tunnel A spare school Shady trees in the dirt dive area Lots of baby birds in the tents and the trees (fun to watch) A tailgate and a jet A pool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #27 June 14, 2004 Quote Covered packing areas. Scratch that, you said south, right? AIR CONDITIONED! Quote and then the psycho swoopers can have some place away from us... Sure, give us a couple swoop coursed and a pond. Oh, have a swooper hop&pop discount. $5 swoop jumps, get taken to 4k in a 182 or porter. As for planes...well, just about anything is ok, I love 182s, and twotters...and skyvans...and...ah fuck it, I just like jumping, give me something to jump out of and I'll love it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

OH HOLY SHNIKEYS!!!!! I ALMOST FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!!! We MUST have a kick-ass espresso stand on premises that delivers to the jump center ...just the Seattle-ite in me. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

I've been in Seattle too long...air conditioning up here is only for the REALLLLY wealthy people that can't figure out what else to do with their money... Quote Sure, give us a couple swoop coursed and a pond. One of each, yes? That should do. Oh, and medical personnel on staff if we're gonna have a swoop course and BASE tower...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

There will be bathrooms in the team rooms, the jump center, the cafe, the bar, and in the packing facility. NO stinky porta potties. Oh and portable bleachers that can be stored in the hangar. Yeah, we need those for competitions. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damion75 0 #36 June 14, 2004 I was going to suggest big arc lights across the landing area for night jumps, but having thought about it, that would really take the fun out of night jumps! "Ground's got to be down there somewhere... gotta be getting close... ok, what the hell, flare now... arrgghh! no ground! this is going to hurt... OOOOOFFF!!!... ok, get up, pretend it was perfect... shit- they're all laughing!!" *************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.

Good enough, I will be heading down there in September, and I will view for myself these magical happy digs that said DZ possesses... But in the meantime, I'll keep building my fantasy DZ!!

piisfish 140 #46 June 15, 2004 about your telescopic antenna... why not have on the other side of the swoop park a canyon with a bridge crossing it, an antenna on one side and a skyscraper on the other ??? you could have a BASE center all in one... and don't forget the live videos of the jumps transmitted on a screen at the bar... and a bounce proof area for people having double mals.... Yeah, the would automatically be directed there...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #47 June 15, 2004 Quote ***Damn you all and your happy Perris!! Lmao...yes, we are very, very happy at Perris, BUT I STILL LOVE Elsinore just as much as Perris because of the beautiful views and the "family" vibe. Btw, Perris also has BEAUTIFUL (inside and out) people. Between Perris and Elsinore, which are only 20 minutes apart (and both absolutely AMAZING DZs), Southern California is as close to perfect as you can get...for skydivers, anyway. I LOVE IT!!!!
