eightate8at8 0 #1 April 4, 2009 Skydive Iowa or Paradise Skydives? I'm looking distance from Iowa City and those two are closest at about 46 miles each. The next two closest are Quad City Skydiving Center at 75 miles and then Rock River Valley Skydivers at 96, no thanks! So, any I'm missing, suggestions? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustChuteMeNow 0 #2 April 6, 2009 Hello Eightate8at8, Both DZs have good people and I would check them both out. I personally jump at Skydive Iowa and the people are great. There is a bunkhouse and at night there is always a bonfire with fun activities. If you have specific questions, send me a PM and I'll try and answer them.Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

Skydivesg 7 #3 April 6, 2009 Hi I would suggest the same as "justchuteme". Go to each DZ and spend the entire weekend. That is the only way to tell. I also jump at Skydive Iowa so I am biased. I know most and have jumped with many of the people at Vinton. And they are great people. Both DZs have some awesome people. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Each person has different priorities. Something important to me may not be to you. Some people want to make a couple of jumps and leave. While others want to go to the DZ on Friday evening and not leave until Sunday night. After one weekend at each DZ the answer to your question will be obvious. BTW: if you have not attended a Safety Day you are welcome to come to ours this Saturday April 11. There is no cost. PM me for more info. Good luck in your process. SandyBe the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks do your self a favor and check all 4 out. They all have great people, and different reasons to hang at them. They all have people who get along great with each other, and they support one another at the respective dz's and at other boogies tooskydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
