mnischalke 0 #13 March 22, 2002 Well, once you try Orange, you'll have a new home. We actually have a bunch of folks drive up from B-burg/Smith Mtn. Lake/Roanoke area every weekend. And you know, for some reason, every time I get in the Otter (Mr. Super Fabulous), Drops of Jupiter pops into my head. I guess it relaxes and centers me.mikeThe Lord giveth and the M-79 taketh away.

christopherm 0 #16 March 22, 2002 The most important thing is to make sure to pull your chute before you hit the ground. If neither of them work, bend down and tie your shoes, it'll make the time go by faster. -So, how hard is the ground?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnischalke 0 #18 March 22, 2002 Actually that's a good point and a great reason to jump at Orange. In the grass of the landing area it reads in big letters: "IF YOU CAN READ THIS PULL" I like to think of it as a nice little reminder for those members of our community who haven't got an audible.mikeThe Lord giveth and the M-79 taketh away.

lippy 918 #19 March 22, 2002 Relax, have fun, and be ready to spend more money in a weekend than you ever though possible. But its worth every last penny.It's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal trauamaLippy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrightskyguy 1 #20 March 22, 2002 You couldn't have picked a better and more beautiful place. Billy Cockrell is the owner and chief instructor and a pretty good skydiver if you ask me, an outstanding skydiver if you ask him. Get there early and be ready to learn. Tell Billy that I put in a good word for him. ( I get a free skydive for every kind word)John Wright Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
