Mom gives me a hug and tells me to be careful. She's great

^ Huge Thanks Sammielu & Agaace This is quickly making me want to cancel my plans and just jump! There will be enough pictures at a friends wedding to feel like you're there anyway, right!? Ive written the dz's, so I guess it comes down to who I hear back from and, as always, good ol mother nature. Thanks heaps for the help. I didn't find half of these places through other google searches. Even the search engines down here must be slack. Cheers Gents

Thanks for that Amazon. Everyone's got to start out somewhere, and I wish I could jump 5 days a week and work 2 but after all it is done for enjoyment. I just want to jump, its always fun jumping at a new site, especially with good friends. Ill try those dz's! Cheers mate

And youre reading into typed messages too much. No places to jump in Seattle, huh?

I realize that, and with a Heath & Safety - Health & Safety - Health & Safety, culture following the rules is so utterly important. Ive only ever jumped as small drop zones, consciously choosing to stay away from the tandem factories (where you could exponentially get your jump numbers up). Because I don't have the 1000+ jumps im just asking for a fun place to jump and somewhere I can get a rid up to altitude too.

Hey Seattle sport jumpers! I am flying in from New Zealand next month (August) and am trying to find a way to jump with my friend who is doing her first tandem. So I suppose this question is of two parts -Do you have any recommendations as to where to jump? ie is there more of a sporty feel at any particular dz than another? -Would anyone have a rig that I may borrow? Id rather pay in beer or swap goods, but good ol green backs works too. I currently fly a Xfire 2 109 and have been jumping since 2009, but even just a student rig will do to jump. At the least being in the plane (because of rules and regs) would be great! Im flying into Seattle the 15th-20 and any heads up would be fantastic. Ive tried writing a few dz's through their websites with no reply. I should have gone here to begin with Thanks for reading! Keep it easy, Wes
