Stevehend15 0 #1 June 11, 2006 I am interested in doing some casual crew. I am jumping a Tri 175 without the crew mods. How do I go about getting involved in this? Is there plenty of crew jumpers in central FL? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TVPB 0 #2 June 12, 2006 Try Lake Wales - Florida. Or contact the USPA. There should be plenty of PD Lightnings around there too. Better to jump compatable CRW specific gear. Good Luck. http://ozcrw.tripod.com Stay Safe - Have Fun - Good Luck The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.

Stevehend15 0 #4 June 12, 2006 Is it required to have a crew canopy? I can barely afford jump tickets let alone another canopy. I know that there is a couple of guys in Titusville that do crew but they have been in a few world records and I dont know how they would take a newbie wanting to jump with them.

boinky 0 #5 June 12, 2006 Seasoned CRWdogs LOVE to take on newbies! Just get on the CRWdog e-mail list, post when you might be able to show up and see if you can get some volunteers to break you in. Some of them MIGHT even have a Lightning you could borrow for the day! Good luck!Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

faulknerwn 38 #6 June 12, 2006 CRWdogs are definitely willing to take newbies. Go talk to the folks in Titusville next time ya see em - trust me - they're not that scary :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meandean 0 #7 June 13, 2006 Is it required to have a crew canopy? ------------------------------------------- It is not required, but it is favorable to have canopies that are compatible with each other, and CRW specific. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cutawaychico 0 #8 June 13, 2006 The two guys would love to take you up. There are 4 maybe 5 really good CRW Dawgs at Titusville. Team mates of mine and they're hard pressed for friends They'ed probable even pay you to talk to them. Bang Nylon get more bang for your buck.
