Rstanley0312 1 #1 May 8, 2012 Anyone jumped there? Also, I think I remember that Zhills is about half our away from the Tampa Bay area.... is that about right?Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

stratostar 5 #2 May 8, 2012 Yep on the hills.. as for STB, I have not been there but known the owner for a long time, near as I can tell it's an alright place, not a USPA GM, last time I looked. That's all I can tell you.you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 67 #3 May 8, 2012 I was there a few weeks ago. We hired out their Cessna for a demo. They were not jumping that day due to low clouds. I think they usually have a Pac. A lot of the folks that jump there come over to Z-Hills once in a while and they are all good peeps. Missbrz and Theonlyski can probably give you more info.You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks all... any more comments would be appreciated. I love Z hills but this is a family vacation so a closer dz would be nice. We are going to be in St. Pete but who knows.... maybe I can hit up both. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

devildog 0 #6 May 8, 2012 Been there once, fun place to jump. As a side note, on the FB page they announced $15 fun jumps for the rest of the month. A few of us down in SWFL are going to head up there the 19th.You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muff528 3 #8 May 9, 2012 If you're going to be in St. Pete there is probably not much difference in distance. If you like a laid-back, family oriented, club-like atmosphere you'll like STB. I used to get down there at least a couple times a month just for the Cessna (taking a break from the turbines and the DC3 at Zhills even though Cliff did occasionally bring in something a little more "exotic" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
