WatchYourStep 0 #1 December 19, 2007 I may be taking a trip and doing some backpacking in Germany for a month. Since I'll be bouncing from hostel to hostel I'm not going to bring my rig. Do any of the DZs in Germany offer rental gear and how are the prices compared to here in the states for jump tickets? Looking forward to a month of traveling but would still like to spend 3 or 4 days doing nothing but jumping. Can anybody suggest DZs? I'm heading over with no plan other than just traveling so I'm open. Thanks PS: This all pends on a new job I'm applying for. If I get it I'm certainly going, if I don't I'm probably still going to go. "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience.

FrancoR 0 #2 December 19, 2007 The bigger dropzones in Germany have rental gear. A jump ticket will usually cost you 25 to 27 Euros that is only about 37 dollars + rental gear. I hope you are rich Maybe a good idea to stick to the more special events like the AN-72 Boogie, the Sylt Boogie or maybe a Pink Skyvan Boogie in the Austrian Alps. At what time are you planing on going? If it does not cost anything you are the product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virgin-burner 1 #3 December 20, 2007 i havent been to many boogies, but on none a chance to rent gear.. if you just visit outside of a boogie, you'll be able to rent gear on most dropzones..“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

WatchYourStep 0 #4 December 20, 2007 Dang!!! Maybe just a day or two then at the DZ. I'm looking at coming over either 5/14-6/14 or 6/1-7/1. I won't know until around March which is when I find out more job information. "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience.
