BigM 2 #1 April 25, 2006 2 items- (1) We need a definite head count... please sign in. BigM (2)I am probably going to do my first (beer) naked jump on the morning balloon jump. Anyone for an all naked balloon? Grins- Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."

ReLLiK75 0 #2 April 25, 2006 Not sure why this new thread got created, but anyway... Defintely need to get a head count ASAP. Aside from our birthday suit jumper , please let me know if you're still in for Saturday AM. Looks like launch temps will be in the upper 50's which means we'll definitely get to 7k. __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare?

ReLLiK75 0 #3 April 25, 2006 Details posted again: Due to temperature, looks like only one jump in the morning will take place. Altitude will be approx 7k--maybe less, but definitely not more. Cost for the one jump will be $75. If there is enough interest for a second jump in the evening, it would be $25. Right now we've got two balloons. One balloon can carry 2 jumpers. The other can carry 3. If we have more than 5 jumpers, we can get a third balloon (cost to cover the third balloon will not be an issue). We will meet at 6 am in the parking lot of Weinburgers furniture on Washington Road in Augusta. __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare?

simplyputsi 0 #4 April 25, 2006 Gonna have to pass Hopefully someone can get the contact infor for the balloon guys so that we can keep this going when there is interest. Have fun.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaoskitty 0 #5 April 25, 2006 Dude.. what if you land in someone's back yard? A bit rude dont you think? Although the field where we landed last time on the first jump was mowed down corn.. and that would be kinda funny. But still.. think of the children you may be frightening!

ReLLiK75 0 #6 April 25, 2006 Actually...I did land in someone's backyard on Sunday. They didn't even blink. Although the "natives" were quite suprised to see someone walking around with a big orange parachute. They asked me if I had fallen from the sky!!!! __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #7 April 26, 2006 You should have told them if you had fallen you would not be walking. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murzen 0 #8 April 26, 2006 I want to jump, but the weather does not look good for Sat. It is a 4 hour drive for me, so unless the weather forecast changes, I am out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReLLiK75 0 #9 April 26, 2006 Ok...unless we get two more solid commits for Saturday, I'm going to have to cancel this one and hand the reigns over to someone else to coordinate for a later date. I've had a couple of people PM me asking for the balloon company point of contact, so if you were one of them, check your PM--I'll fire off that info today. __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare?

BigM 2 #13 April 27, 2006 Wayne- Is this going to happen? I sure hope so. Even if it is just one balloon, that's fine. I just need to know to make plans with my car-pool partner.

ReLLiK75 0 #18 April 27, 2006 Alright...looks like due to low interest this time around, I'm going to have to cancel this. But for anyone interested in using this extremly great group of people for future balloon jumps, the company's name is Droppin-in Ballooning. The owner's name is David Fields. PM's have been sent to those interested with David's phone number. Anyone else interested can just find them in the yellow pages! __________________________________________ Have you Got Flare?

SkymonkeyONE 4 #19 April 27, 2006 Jeff, I would NEVER consider doing a naked balloon jump with you. For that matter, I would not recommend you doing it either, for the same reason someone else already listed. There is no possible way that you can guarantee you will land in an "appropriate" spot on a balloon jump. chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigM 2 #20 April 28, 2006 QuoteThere is no possible way that you can guarantee you will land in an "appropriate" spot on a balloon jump. Like a DZ is an "appropriate spot"... with 500 skydivers armed with a plethora of video and still cameras... soon to be posted on every web-site known to man!
