drdive 0 #2 August 4, 2005 Skydive Mesquite - about 1 1/4 hr north. Nice people, nice drop zone. The dropzones closer to LV are only tandem mills. Ed"We saved your gear.

Ed actualy that time depends on the speed you drive. LOL I normally get there in about an hour. ( depends on the traffic IN town) its 45 minutes once I get on the highway about 70 miles north of the stratosphere.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spoogela 0 #13 August 5, 2005 thanks a lot for all the information. I guess I will see you guys at mesquite. I know at gold coast skydiving the loads start around 10:30, Is there a good time to get out there? And are there a good mix of free fly and belly?

jtval 0 #14 August 5, 2005 the jumping starts at 9 on saturday. we'll jump whatever type of jumps you like. I will be working most of the day but there shouldn't be any problems getting some belly OR ff jumps goingMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did my first jump there 10 years ago and I liked the view, and the convenience to the strip. We landed at McCarren at 10 and by 1 we had landed again. I would come back, if I were welcomed.

jtval 0 #16 August 6, 2005 well in chris' behalf. he's just a packer there. he may be an asshole but he's one of the good ones. LOL if I were trying to make a living off of skydiving in NV I would try to do it at SDLV. if I were trying to get a good vibe and meet some cool people I would do it at SD mesquiteMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
