Hey fat boys







I do believe the weight limit is for tendem jumping though.

 

HEY!!!!! I resemble that remark!!!!!

 

HAHAHAHa... thats funny... fat boys!... jk jk...

i am very interested. i use to live next to a guy that was a sky diver instructor. until i never saw hiim. i hope it was cause he left his wife.. and not something bad...

 

Steve - I was just kidding with you, but Hatty Matty the Fatty is a different story

dkhl - it seems like the instructors do it as a hobby and their pay is for a plane ride on weekends. Most of the people at Suffolk Skydive had full time week jobs. One was a High School Prinicpal and a college professor, another was going to be a jump instructor in the Air Force but retired before he had the opportunity, and maybe two or three worked there full time (I only got to chat about life with a few of them - mostly we were talking about jumping). Most of them seemed like they weren't connected to the local area and talked about moving to California and Colorado, so I would like to think that if they aren't there the next time they just roamed on.

 

I know that joke....but I am about 30 (ahem) lbs over the limit...i would need a cargo chute....

 

So are you implying that leaving your wife isn't bad??

You know what he meant Jeremy. We want to go skydiving and would rather hear someone moved, was fired, or left his wife than one of the alternatives to skydiving - not saying that any of those things are good.

Look how crazy we get when someone mentions R@!N around a S2000 meet

 

Hey Alex, I'm in if I'm in town. Just let me know the exact date asap so I can try to schedule around it.

 

I just sent an email to Suffolk Skydive to see which is better: May 14th or the 15th. Once I hear from them this meet will become official

 

Orange charges about 220 same as suffolk it seems.
When i went there they charged 200 for those who have student ID's

i did a tandem jump and i swear it was the greatest rush ever.
The most dangerous part of skydiving is the landing.

but these instructors are pros, and i don't know about the whole sliding, thing, but all u have to do is lift ur legs up and let the instructor use his legs.

only bad experience was the 6 hr wait for the wind to die down. LoL.

Another great thing about Orange was the "beer fund" they collect at the end to party it up after the day of jumps are over.

Those guys are great too, after the 4th jump you can jump solo with instructors spotting you.
