hobbes4star 0 #1 August 27, 2002 little white puffies with winds at 5-10mph, with temps of 85-90 degrees. A friend of mine was saying that he prefers when it is overcast with 10mph winds and in the low 80s. what so I got to thinking what is everyone’s preferred jump weather??if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

Gosia 0 #4 August 27, 2002 Little puffies are perfect with lots of blue in the background. I prefer the temp in the low 80's. I'm quite new to the sport and it is suggested that we land away from the hanger. That's fine by me, better safe and far away than close and not jumping. But the track back to the hanger is better in low 80's than 90's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,998 #5 August 27, 2002 Big puffies from 9000-5000. Great backdrops, and every once in a while you get near them and can see your actual speed. Weather like that also give you some shade, and can cause storms and the like on occasion - and I miss storms here in SD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #6 August 27, 2002 i like those thin stretched out clouds. 80-85 degrees ground temp, 10-12 mph winds N-S direction. NS winds make for good beach jump conditions here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
