If you could design your own DZ...

A DZ that doesn't charge $22 for jump tickets:o



Mine will be $23...:D:D:D

Naw, I think the Ultimate DZ would have to have a 'Friendship Day' where you pay $15 for the day and get all the jumps you want...any self-respecting multi-millionaire would treat their friends that well...:)
Edited to correct a spelling error..:D:D:D...thanks Kelly! :D:D:D

Any dream DZ would need a skate ramp adjacent to the landing & packing areas, for sure.



The skate ramp and park was going to be built for my sons, and was supposed to be part of our home property so I can keep my eye on them...but then again, if I have a DZ in my back yard, I'd be there quite a bit and it'd prolly be good to keep the twins in view from there as well. ;)

Jaye, it seems to me that your post just described Perris Valley to a T. I've yet to jump there, but from a couple of visits, yup, that's the place. :)

We don't have a skate park on the DZ, but there is a 30 foot half pipe about an 1/8 of a mile off the DZ, that was donated by Bob Burnquist (if your kids are into skating they will know how he is) and Matt Hoffman comes out to the DZ as well (X-games BMX guy) in fact I just hung out with him a bit this weekend. Plus Mike Metzger (X-GAMES Free Style Motocross) has a shop right down the road and visits from time to time.

All in all Perris has just about everything you want. Stop stalling and come to our playground!

Do it man!

The half pipe was one that he used at Disneyland for shows over there. He actually give it to the FlyBoyz and they set it up in the back lot of "The Ghetto". For those of you not familiar with "The Ghetto" It rocks! Small trailer park just across the street from the DZ that houses nothing but Skydivers and all of our toys! Cheap rent and good people and no worries! It's been there for over 20 years.

The only thing, is that all the clocks seem to be stuck on 4:20! >:(:)

Okay - time for me to chime in..

Location:

I'd annex my own island and declare it sovereign. That way, I can make the laws that would let the dropzone operate free and clear from so many of those lawsuits that occur for bs reasons. I could also build my runway and landing area where I want to without worries about environmental impact reports.

I'd get a wind-tunnel (I'm addicted) and hire Dom to come out. I'd make sure I get a reality tv crew out there so that Dom would be entertained in off time by 20 hot gals vying for his attention. He wouldn't get paid, but would have food, shelter and alcohol, as well as women.

I'd take a couple of otters and a skyvan, and a 182 for those that like them. Interestingly, I can use them to ferry jumpers to the mainland.

It'd also have hotel accommodations, with a good restaurant and plenty of good alcohol. Vinnie would be my "agavellier" and beer would be up to me. Like Lollapalooza, I may charge $5 for a cup of water.

I'd have a golf course on it for high wind days.

No swoop ponds - let em surf.

I'd also have plenty of places for the kiddies to play, and a scuba center on it.

Finally, a couple of 800 foot A's would be built, with a small S connecting them.

And when Congressman Ryan comes to see it... :ph34r:

edited to add: I am THE thread killer.


My wife is hotter than your wife.

You guys forgot the aviary/strip bar. Yeah, naked chicks dancing in bird shit -- that's what a drop zone is all about.



I know I have to be missing a big inside joke here...'cuz that's just nasty...B|

you should just come to Peterlee in sunny England it has all of what you said and the plain is Hibs' SMG nice blue colour and the piolt is mint no one over here has any complaints.

Pub on site (we got it)
Shop sweets and gifts t-shirts etc (we got it)
(Both of the above are run by a lovely couple Eric and Tina)

open lunch area that looks on to landing point (we got it)

covered packing area and open one to (we got it)

car parking spaces a plenty

and im sure for one day we could creat a special area for pro's and newbies.

as long as it was welcomed by regulars.

and we even have a great video team of about 5 men (i think) and 2 ground camera people which are me and my other half jumpmunki (freeze frame fotography)

what more could you want
;)
