UGA Skydiving Club

[Hvance 0]

Hey all, starting up a skydiving club at UGA. We had one a few years ago, but it died out as people graduated. Been taking a long look at Ben Lee's material and talking to other clubs in the area. We haven't started recruiting yet, but we've already got around seven licensed or soon to be licensed jumpers. I'm excited for the possibilities in the coming years.

If any of you have any suggestions for newer clubs I'd love to hear them. I'd like to build off of successful models.

Also, we need a graphic designer, so if you're interested, shoot me a PM.

Blue skies.

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

I can already think of a name for the club: Flying Dawgs

We're left with the legacy of the older club: Skydawgs.

This thread makes me strongly consider UGA for grad school.

Just saying.

Peace, love and hoppiness

My reality and yours are quite different.

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Very interesting.. Wasn't aware of any staff who jumped. Thanks.

Contact the Dixie Skydivers from Clemson University. They do a pretty good job of keeping their club going.

UF has a good skydiving club too, if that is all you consider when going to grad school.

I'm trying to suggest good schools to my brother's kids based on which ones have skydive clubs! Oh, and ones they can attend on triathlon scholarships. Gotta pay for it somehow!

Not a bad reason to go to school.

Im bringing this thread back from the dead....but are there still any active members of the club? Im transferring to UGA in January and will be looking for people to jump with!

The UGa group was out at the Farm some time last spring (and a few other times in the prior year) so they were at least active as of that time. Skydive Monroe is closer, so I think they normally jump there. (They came to the Farm to practice exiting from an Otter in preparation for an upcoming competition: SDM only has a King Air).
