caribadive 0 #1 October 15, 2008 I've heard from a lot of Europeans that Russian DZs are incredible. Rumors of 20 jumps a day are plentiful. I just want to know; do Russian DZs live up to the reputation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

npgraphicdesign 3 #3 October 16, 2008 Although having never jumped at a Russian DZ, I'm 100% purebread Russian, born/raised in Moscow, and I'll tell you this much: I don't doubt that they have great DZs. I also don't doubt that your fellow jumpers/instructors won't knock back a few shots before jumping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
