Sinkster 0 #1 July 19, 2004 Ever since I saw that skysurfing video with Patrick De Garyon (sp?) in Good Stuff I have wanted to jump there. I may be mistaken, but I believe it was in some valley in swizterland. Well, I am going to be there in a couple weeks, so I was wondering if anyone knows what drop zone it is that is nestled in some valley there and if I will need to bring my own rig or can rent one of theirs. Any swiss jumpers here that can help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites gus 1 #2 July 19, 2004 Don't know which one was in Good Stuff but have you checked out this? It reckons there are 14 DZs in Switzerland so you have plenty of choice!

It was absolutely gorgeous. I loved just falling and doing 360's and enjoying the view.

Or PM "flyingfrog" a Swiss guy. He surely will be able to answer your questions. I've been in Switzerland for jumping: unforgettable jumps!
