Cajun 0 #1 February 16, 2007 I looked under the dropzone section on the main page, but the prices seem to me to be a little behind the times. Can someone who frequents these DZs please let me know how much a lift ticket is? I've included in () what is listed. Also who has the best camping facilities? I'm going to try to make this FL cheap as I'll be quitting my job in order to make it. Thanks Deland ($18) Skydive city ($21) Titusville ($17) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #2 February 16, 2007 sounds like nice numbers to me.....why? ,,, you want them to be higher???? reminds me of a time about 10 years ago, when I arranged with Billy Richards to fly me on a demo which was located about 25 miles from the Ranch as the bird flies.... as we were heading there,, he said,, "jimmy just come by tomorrow and you can pay me then. OK ? " The jump went well,,, into a rather tight back yard,,,, and i was impressed that Wild Bill stuck around, after I exited around 4 grand,,,,, dropping back down to 1,200 or 1,500 feet to do a fly by , after I landed so that he could see me wave to him,,, that all was well...So the next day, i look him up, to thank him and to pay him,,, and he says, " 35 dollars jimmy"... I replied "35 dollars??,, Is THAT all??? and he said... "OK ,,, 75 dollars !!!!!"......hahahaha. so I say.. " How about 35 dollars and a hearty handshake Billy"?? and he says.. "sure"..... The moral of the story? ... if the price is good,,,,,, go with it......and ask NO questions...hahahahaha jimmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #3 February 16, 2007 Deland is $20 now, unless they recently decreased the price. In my opinion, Z-hills has the best camping facilities/showers.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

jumpinjill 0 #6 February 16, 2007 Skydive Sebastian is 21.50. Camping is free and the shower facilities are immaculate. The view from altitude is like no other and the vibe is laid back and friendly. Definatley worth a visit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LyraM45 0 #7 February 16, 2007 Zhills has the best facilities and IMO every kind of jumping and organizing is going on there all of the time-- can't go wrong. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeenan 14 #8 February 16, 2007 QuoteSkydive Sebastian ... the shower facilities are immaculate. That must be the Ladies facilities that you refer to. For the Men's room...immaculate is not the word that comes to mind. Kevin_____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome... Can I be on your ash jump ?

WatchYourStep 0 #12 February 16, 2007 I didn't know Bruce Springstein was a skydiver. At first I thought Chuck looked like an older Ed Norton, but then a friend of mine said, "That's a shorter version of Bruce Springstein." and I agreed with her more. "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience up before your bag of luck runs out."

January last year, to be honest it wasn't much more than a bush camp cpmared to where i jump, I was most disapointed, after hearing ZHILL thins and Zhills that for years you tend to build up a mental picture of the place.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
