ReLLiK75 0 #1 April 22, 2004 I'm going to be in Vegas for a few days this coming weekend and was thinking about bringing my rig. I know one DZ there won't let you jump unless you've been trained there and I've been told another is mainly a tandem factory with very few fun jumpers, but I really can't tell anything about the others. Can anyone recommend one of the DZs that will definitely let me jump? Also, how far is it from the strip? I'm going to be in town for a company meeting so I'm planning on trying to get some of the guys who've never jumped before to make a tandem. Maybe the DZO will appreciate the business and let me jump..... __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INSANEDADDY 0 #2 April 22, 2004 Skydive Mesquite is the place to go. Its about an hour drive from the strip. I made a few jumps there back in January. Everyone is really friendly and they jump a caravan. http://www.skydivemesquite.com/ You dont't get to choose how you're going to die.

This weekend is the Summer Boogie http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1026491#1026491 I am sure Brad can get your guys in the air for tandems... and he will not only let you jump gladly but you will meet some very kewl people. The Las Vegas DZ... NO JUMPS FOR YOU says the RULZ there.( thinks Soup guy from Seinfeld) From their website http://www.skydivelasvegas.com/experienced_jumpers.html Experienced Jumpers Because of past problems with "fun jumpers" breaking our rules; SLV will no longer accept fun jumpers who have not graduated from our SLV student program. In other words you are unsafe and not wanted there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nbblood 0 #5 April 23, 2004 Yeah, what they said. The driving difference is minimal and Skydive Mesquite is the place to be in Nevada. And with the boogie going on, you definitely should not miss it. Brad and Sher run a top notch DZ!! Blues, NathanBlues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
