SuperKat 0 #1 January 5, 2011 I was browsing both websites. I liked ASC cuz of their fleet and I liked The Farm because they have a "lot of outs." Please help if you can answer the following questions regarding ASC or The Farm. Thanks in advance! 1. Are there a lot of fun jumpers in ASC or The Farm or are they tandem factories? 2. How often do they put up loads for fun jumpers? 3. What are your opinions and/or experiences regarding both Atlanta Skydiving Center in Cedartown and Skydive The Farm in Rockmart? Be safe and Blue Skies! What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #5 January 5, 2011 ASC is owned by the same men who are responsible for the whole Skyride issue. (If you're not up on that, read the thread in General Skydiving). I haven't been to either dropzone, but I do know many people who are very happy jumping at The Farm.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
alabamaskydiver 0 #6 January 5, 2011 Go to the Farm, Don't be dazzled by the so called "fleet" of aircraft of ASC. The Farm has everything you need, better atmosphere, better management, better morals, more professional, and best of all, you won't get roped in to the whole Skyride debate.

lauraliscious 0 #9 January 6, 2011 Go to the Farm. There are lots of fun jumpers. They have an Otter. Hans will make sure you find people to jump with. You won't be disappointed.

thrillstalker 0 #10 January 7, 2011 go to the farm. there are plenty of fun jumpers to jump with and the vibe there is great. every load is a fun jumper load (the otter can handle 23ish passengers). it isn't hard to get onto a load or find people to jump with. we both use the same airport. you can land on a 55acre farm with plenty of outs (if you even need them), or you can support skyride and jump at asc. what time of year are you planning on coming?"Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Last I heard - ASC was out of buisness - at least until they pay thier rent or taxes or plane maintenance - I'm pretty sure iot is plane maintenance - The FARM however, i have not heard of any issues like that, ever. Every time I have gone - it is the fun jumpers that are important, the tandems are money and business, but not the key factor. Nothing happens at the farm, in the same way that what happens in Vegas stays in vegas. There is no question in my mind, The Farm is the place to be.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crotalus01 0 #12 January 7, 2011 The Farm hands down. Not sure what "fleet" at ASC you are referring to, last time I was at The Farm all ASC had was a shitty looking King Air since they lost their Otter to the Skydive AZ lawsuit (they both take off at the same airport). As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpdude 0 #15 January 7, 2011 Quote asc is not out of business. i was there on Wednesday. Why? You know that the money you are giving them is only going to further finance their fraudulent advertising and scam. With all the info that's available online and throughout the many threads here on DZ.com, and even in this thread, you can't say you don't know. Besides all that, The Farm is a lot better place! Give it a try, you might just like it.Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it a try, you might just like it. i have never given asc one fucking red cent!!! (rant over) i had to drop my rig off at chutingstar (connected to the farm hangar where i jump) to get the reserve repacked and was in the area, and happened to stop by since it was the middle of the week to see if i knew anyone there. i do not support ASC or SKYRIDE in any way. i would be happy if they shut down, but we need them gone for the right reasons. any dropzone that is closed because of airport problems or plane maintenance issues looks bad on the entire community."Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
