Vectracide 0 #5 May 15, 2006 His post was hardly a troll. The Sebastian 5 offered free freefly coaching this past weekend. Free beer on Sat. night as well. One of the packers there gave me the best openings on my Xfire I have ever had from packers. Damn girl packed my shit better than I do. I don't know if you have been there, as it looks like you jump at Miami, but if you have.....you would know that it does, in fact, "rock".

skymama 37 #7 May 15, 2006 QuoteI love this place dont see myself jumping anywhere else EVER !!!!!!!!!!!! While I like Sebastian also and the people there, I have to tell you that you shouldn't limit yourself like that. There are a ton of dropzones all over the country that are worth visiting. You get a different vibe at every one of them, jump with new people and maybe even learn something and see different scenery under canopy. You should try to jump at as many dz's in FL as you can to start with. Someone at my home dz tried to give me a hard time once in front of the GM for traveling around. The GM said, "it's ok, she was just slumming it. She always comes back." It's true, and it's ok to see how the other guys live.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's true, and it's ok to see how the other guys live. You bring up a good point, Skymama, i too have been chastized for jumping at another DZ for just one day. Just to check it out and see people that i knew who jumped there and to meet new people. This is not the DZ i am at now as this DZO is really cool with people jumping eslewhere, but this happened when i first started jumping. This DZO informed me that if it wasn't the WFFC or a special boogie and i jumped anywhere else that i was not welcome at his place. Other than this quirk this DZO was a hell of a nice guy and would even take the plane up {C-182) even if there was only 2 jumpers so they did'nt have to go home without jumping. I have heard other stories about other DZO's that think this way but i don't know if it is comman. wants to say, "i know, i'll ask Spence".....but i won't.....just kidding ya Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #12 May 16, 2006 QuoteWe all vote with our dollars.We can put an end thinking like that. . That kind of thinking is small-minded and bad for the sport, overall. There are things I like about every drop zone I've jumped at, but I think if I had done every single jump at the same dropzone, I would have had an entirely different experience in the sport. One of the absolute best parts about this sport has been the ability to get out and travel all over and make new friends and jump with new people. I grew so much as a skydiver when I hit the road last summer ... from about 60 jumps when I left to about 100 jumps when I came back, my skill level increased exponentially. I think the chance to get out and jump with all kinds of different folks, some with experience way beyond what I would ever see at home, really broadened my skills. Good-natured ribbing is one thing. Expecting blind loyalty and punishing people who don't give it is entirely another. As far as I'm concerned, that's not good business practice."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

But tell the truth, your really more surprised that i was welcome there in the first place. Aside from all your posts, you really like me, cause you know i can get under your skin without breaking the rules.....right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #15 May 16, 2006 Spence, I'm on your side on this one. Read my response again. (I read it and realize the first line might be kind of confusing... when I said "that kind of thinking" I was referring to "the kind of thinking of a DZO who tells people they can't jump elsewhere").
