ReLLiK75 0 #1 September 30, 2005 Howdy all! I've found a local company who will take Skydivers up to altitude and let us out. A simple balloon ride for 2 people is $300 which I was planning on doing with my fiancee and just getting out at the end. But then I starting thinking it'd be more fun to have a bunch of people get together for baloon jumps. So I'm trying to organize an event. I'm sure if I can get enough people together, the prices would be quite reasonable--($60 range). PM me if you're interested so I can start getting a head count together. I'd like to set this up for somewhere around the end of October/beginning of November. Any takers???!!!!! __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare?

jumpchikk 0 #2 September 30, 2005 I would love to do it, but the end of October beginning of November is not good for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #3 September 30, 2005 I'd love to help out and participate but October thru the first weekend of November is shot to hell.Give us some info on balloon size,where you would like to launch from.Sounds like a good reason to have a party.Anyone up for a party???

ReLLiK75 0 #4 October 1, 2005 I don't know balloon sizes, but I do know they have a few of them. I can find out if it will make a difference??? As for launch location, I'd let the balloon company dictate that. It'd definitely be somewhere in Augusta--probably not too far from I-20 (if you're familiar with the area). I could definitely push this into Nov as I'm sure the cooler weather will make for better flying conditions. __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare?

pullhigh 0 #6 October 2, 2005 Dude, count me in for sure. Just say when and where. Ganja PS If he'd be interested, HMB in St. George is coming up soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quatorze 1 #7 October 17, 2005 oh yeah, I am only 45 mins or so from Augusta, sounds like a great idea/ reason for me to get down there again, not just for the disco tech I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fmmobley 0 #8 October 17, 2005 I'm in. Never done a balloon jump before! How much altitude do you get?... Marion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoudDan 0 #9 October 18, 2005 Throw me in the very interested category, I'm in if you can get the price down, I know a few people who would like to ride along and not jump (I didn't ask why, this would be their problem) for the same price (around$60). I'm sure I can get some of the Atl folks to c'mon down. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReLLiK75 0 #12 October 18, 2005 Ok...Since I'm seeing some growing interest but there seems to be some conflicts with November, I'm going to throw two dates out there: Dec 3 or Dec 10 (both are Saturdays). Check your calendars, let me know which works best and I'll lock it in and get busy coordinating with the balloon company. __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare?

pullhigh 0 #14 October 19, 2005 Either of those Saturdays would work for me. Just let us know what date you settle on as soon as you know so that we can keep it open. Ganja Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReLLiK75 0 #18 October 25, 2005 Ok....so here's the scoop: When: Saturday, Dec 03 Where: Augusta, GA (exact location TBD) Time: Around 8AM Cost: $100 gets you two jumps--one from 10.5K and one from 5K (75$ if you just make the one jump from full altitude) Each balloon can only hold 4 jumpers. If you are interested I need to start getting a head count ASAP so they can line up the rest of the balloons to accomodate. I will also need money upfront. I have a paypal account, so that will be the easiest way to go. We need a minimum of 3 other people right now to fill the one balloon and get the $100 price. Alright people!!!! This is a go! Now who's definitely up for this???!!!! __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pullhigh 0 #19 October 25, 2005 Count me in for both loads. I'd also like to buy one slot on the 5K load for my whuffo wife if that's possible. Ganja Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReLLiK75 0 #20 October 26, 2005 Official Head Count=2 About two weeks out, I'll start looking to collect money. Like I said, will be done via PayPal. Oh...forgot to mention that Fort Gordon's Barton Field may be the landing area. Still working out the logistics for that with the balloon company and Ft. Gordon. __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodyofflyght 0 #21 October 26, 2005 Sounds like a blast just let me know when you decide to do it.

LoudDan 0 #22 October 26, 2005 I'll get witcha with a couple of questions, before I commit. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoudDan 0 #23 October 26, 2005 OK couple of questions: Is there a weather day? Refund if the loads don't go? Non refundable deposit (if any)? Are they providing the skydiver chase crew or is that something we're going to have to figure out on our own once we're there? Conditions that make the event a "NO GO"? Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReLLiK75 0 #24 October 26, 2005 QuoteIs there a weather day? No. Normally weather in GA in Dec is pretty nice, so here's to hoping! QuoteRefund if the loads don't go? Yes. QuoteNon refundable deposit (if any)? If you can get someone to fill your slot. Since balloon jumps are expensive to begin with, and to avoid others getting stuck with the cost of making up for a no show, if you commit and provide money via PayPay, please show up. QuoteAre they providing the skydiver chase crew or is that something we're going to have to figure out on our own once we're there? They will have a balloon chase crew, so they will also be picking us up. Additionally, if Ft. Gordon works out, we'll have a designated landing area which means we'll meet at Ft. Gordon and caravan to the launch point. Also, us "locals" will have extra vehicles/Significant Others who can help out. QuoteConditions that make the event a "NO GO"? Wind/Weather. If we don't jump, you get your money back. __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
