kizzie92 0 #29 January 14, 2003 Yup! We have winter jumping at SWOOP although the weather has been against us so far. Pretty much cloudy weekends since November. Maybe we should get together and do a Canadian DZ.Com record. We'd only have to do a four way.The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less.

smiles 0 #30 January 14, 2003 Quote Just out of interest what kind of weather do u guys get in Vancouver. Like in January/February time what temperature (celsius) does it get to at altitude? Is skydive Vancouver somewhere that you can comfortably jump all year round or do u hang your rigs up for a couple of months. May be making a visit to Vancouver around April time and might try to get a jump in while I'm there. P.S. I'm from the UK if it makes a difference. Hello- Today is sunny....6 degrees. At skydive Vancouver C-206, C-182 flys on weekends, our porter is tucked away in hangar and usually is flying by April.....just give d.z. an e-mail or phone to check on weather. There is 3 d.z.'s here....Pitt Meadows d.z. is closest to Vancouver, then 1/2 hr. drive to my home d.z. in Abbotsford (skydive Vancouver) and 1/2 hr. drive away is Chilliwack d.z.

CanEHdian 0 #38 January 14, 2003 Eh! Ottawa here as well... There are some DZs crazy enough to advertize that they're open during our winter months - but it makes no sense to me. There's really only one smart way to skydive during an Ottawa winter, and I've already bought my ticket - will be in Florida for another visit starting next week... eh!

goose491 0 #41 January 14, 2003 Nobody wants to jump in this COLD! Some STI jumpers got to jump out of base Borden last month for the x-mas party. Who are you having look at your rig? Xavier? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Push 0 #42 January 14, 2003 Actually, I was at base Borden. I was ground crew. The visibility at altitude was 500 feet. They didn't jumpMe and Peter the rigger got to be the elves and Kyla (you probably haven't seen her yet, she's new) was Santa. Kyla is female, very very female. And I'm jewish. All in all, we did a good jobI'm taking it to Peter. He's known as Crazy Peter. I believe he rigs most of the student rigs there. Tall, thin, jumps every kind of chute imaginable, does every stunt on it you can think of. Examples: stalling a 292 Manta at 500 feet, or 360ing same Manta into landing. He went to bridge day last year. Gives me the creeps.EDITED TO ADD: I want to jump in this cold. Ai am Rushian, vat kold? -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

goose491 0 #44 January 14, 2003 Sucks! I didn't think the weather would be that great Yeah I know Peter... He took a gold at Nationals last year too... be sure to ask him about that Cool, so waiting on new gear eh? What have you got comin? I think we've introduced ourselves via another thread already.... I posted a pic of myself on a thread called "picture of me too!!!" a coupla days ago. Check it out and see if you recongnize... I jump a blue and silver Wings container (pic is floating around here) and a Spectre 150 (colours Purple, Jade, grey, grey, grey, Jade, Purple) You may have seen it... though I have not been around for some time.

gale 0 #45 January 14, 2003 Yes, Vancouver is great, only beat by.... Victoria Of course, you have the advantage with 3 drop zones within driving distance whereas we only have one. Nevertheless, we do get more hours of sunshine per year. The view from altitude is great as we're on an island. And yes, our drop zone is open all year long (weekends only in the winter) but it gets pretty cold at altitude. Last time I was up -12 celcius. However, I would like to ask, WHY IS ALL THE SUN DURING THE WEEK? The weekend comes and it's cloudy and windy. Arg.
