mardigrasbob 0 #27 November 14, 2003 Moss Point Ahh! Perris Valley #1 & #2 in my book! I trained w/ Igo and Mike Brown at Gold Coast. I really don't thing they know how cool they are! Perris-What can I say World Class. Diane, Ben and Melaine are the reason I moved from the Gulf Coast to So. Cal.Skydive Hard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfrese 0 #29 November 14, 2003 Haven't hit all that many DZs, but I still have to do this by category, can't pick an absolute favorite: Best view - Skydive Monterey Bay (with Sebastian and Space Center coming in tied for second) Best vibe/nicest people - Skydive California City Best Grass - Z'Hills (why can't we grow grass like that in California??) Everything a skydiver needs, almost nothing they don't - Skydive Arizona Personal all-around fave - Adventure Center Skydiving, of course...where I started, and always #1 in my heart...(but speaking of bathrooms...they may be the hands-down worst-of winner) Cant wait to get to WFFC this year, and really want to try SDC, sounds like an awesoome place.

Lolie 0 #30 November 14, 2003 QuoteYou have to be kidding. Skydive Chicago even has its restrooms featured in its ads. SDC's bathrooms are great, but as far as SHOWERS go, Moss Point's are infinitely better. I'm pretty familiar with the showers at SDC, and although it's my home DZ, I'm a big enough person to admit that there are better dropzone showers in the U.S. And watch out for the showers at the Ranch; they're boiling!!!! -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

freeflybella 0 #31 November 14, 2003 Skydive Crosskeys. 1. AireExpress planes (skyvan, otter, caravans, porter, cessnas, Alouette helicopter, bi-plane) 2. Open all-year: this means up to 350 tandems on weekends alone in summer and hard core jumpers throughout the winter to keep the planes flying. 3. World Champion jumpers/coaches of all disciplines 4. A very progressive student program including Skydive U. and Freefly Introduction 5. Staff that fun jump as much as the regulars - they still love the sport for all the reasons we do, not just making a little cash and hucking tandems. (BTW, busy enough all summer to RAKE IN some $$ and then f*** off for the winter) 6. A world-class dz with a small dz feel - the dzo's family runs the café, the same people who opened the dz originally still jump here. 7. A legendary party atmosphere after-hours. (nudity? we got nudity!) 8. 15 minutes outside a REAL city: Philadelphia is only a few miles down the road - this means access to actual restaurants, clubs, bars etc. without making a 1-2 hour drive. 9. Facilities: indoor carpeted packing hangar, packing concession, Square 3 gear store, full-service loft, café, swoop pond, swimming pool, camping area, tiki bar, fire pit, observation deck 10. The greatest vibe between students, lo and high number jumpers, instructors/staff of any dz I've ever been to. Action expresses priority. - Mahatma Ghandi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine 2 #33 November 14, 2003 Moss Point definately has the best bathrooms ever!! SDC is my home and i freely admit Moss Point's bathrooms are better than ours. Friendliest DZ - Greene County Best View from the air - Sebastian Best overall facilities - SDC Best Food - wherever scotty n tami are Best plane - Mullins King Air Best pilot -wherever Pete is flying I really like DZ's that have a washer/dryer available too. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

chaoskitty 0 #38 November 16, 2003 I seriously doubt there is a "number one" drop zone... they've all got a different flavor and have strengths and weaknesses. Besides, its really the skydivers that "make" the dz. I've only visited a few.. Best place for new jumpers to feel welcome and learn from more experienced jumpers without feeling like a huge loser... Tennessee Skydiving Center. Same category, worst place.. ASC, Cedartown. Skydive San Marcos has great facilites, friendly staff and up-jumpers, and a nice big landing area. And its near Austin.. the coolest part of Texas. (or would that be hottest?
