how far do you live from the DZ?

[bunge 0]

I'm happy that one of the DZ's I jump at regulary is only 15 minutes from my house. before they opened, Crosskeys was the nearest at 1 1/2 hours travel time. (Still love to go there at least twice a month!)

I don't hate them, I just like us better.

Less then 15 minutes, but I might as well just live there, I'm there more then I'm not (I'm averaging 6 days a week now a days).

I live as close as you can without actually being on the DZ. It takes me less then 10 minutes to walk there. Still waiting for the right moment to land in front of my house.

i posted pretty much the same poll about a year ago. it was on the last version of the site so the poll is broken now, but i found that a more interesting question was 'who has moved to be closer to a dz?"

yay! I live only a few miles away from the dz! Of course, I inherently chose a university close to it (but I got into college before I got into skydiving. Proof that god has a sense of humor)...

If I loved you anymore I would have a stroke

I drive approx. 2 hrs. to the dz of choice. There is one 1.5 hrs. away, but the extra half hour is worth it!

real skydivers live in a tent (or their car) at the DZ during the summer months, then move into the hanger for hibernation

Just an hour away.

On the DZ. I live 50 feet from the back door of my school and less than 100 yards from the bar. Life does not suck.

I like to make about 400 jumps a year but it is hard becaue I live 3 hours away from my DZ..

[Scottyb 0]

We live about 1-1/2 hours away and it's worth every minute it takes to get there and home!!!

[Dougjumper 0]

About 45 mins away. I wish there were a full time Dz much closer. I might just have to move someday..dang it..to have more fun...

The glass is half full or half empty doesn't matter. Let go and have the Lord guide your path. He will take care of it all.

Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

I moved from Memphis to the DZ in Z-Hill's.

Hows that?

40 minutes if traffic is good. 50 minutes if traffic is bad.

I guess skydivers are always trying to figure out new excuses to post a thread or a poll, knowing that others are just looking for something to answer. Don't we have anything better to do?

I live a little over an hour from 2 turbine DZs and 1.5 hrs from the third one, where I usually go. There is a fourth DZ with a caravan also 1.5 hours away. When I know more about my upcoming work situation I may buy or rent a trailer at the DZ as some friends have done (water, shower, electricity, WI-FI internet available).

I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane.

I live at Skydive Arizona. I wake up to canopies opening every morning and can jump anytime I want to.

[Robin 0]

Um...Bunge, weren't you on your way to work a few hours ago? Did the detour sign jump out in front of you?

I'm fortunate enough to live 30 mins from one dz and approximately 1.5 - 2 hrs from 3 others. Life is good.

[fudd 0]

I drive 2.5 - 3 hours every weekend to get to the dz.
Would have rocked to live there in the summer, but can't do that yet. In the winter it's snowed in.

There's some winter jumping from a cesna 1.5 hours away...brrrr

Heh... if you're referring to that one south of you.. yeah, I'd drive on by too.
