Skydiving?

One of my explorer buddies and I are going skydiving sometime this summer. We are looking for a few more people to go to get the group discount. We are doing static line. Its 165 without the group discount and 145 with. Its a 3500 foot jump and includes a 8 hour training class. You can get pictures of your exit for $15 and video and pictures for $95

Let me know who all wants to go so we can set up a date. We were thinking may or maybe june. Here is a link.

I suppose I should add the requirements as well. Looks like we have 5 people that have agreed to go. We need at least 6 to get the discount and would really like to have at least 8 in case someone cant go.

What are the requirements?
The minimum age required at S.D.K.C. is 18yrs with valid I.D. We have had people as old as 84 jump, so you're never too old as long as you're in good physical condition. Males must weigh under 220 pounds and females must weigh under 180 pounds. We weigh each jumper as part of the registration process and those that weigh over will be turned away with a loss of deposit!!

That sounds awesome. If you can give a more definite date, I may be able to drive in from St Louis.

I wonder because went through "jump school" years ago, I could get out of their little training program.

You probably could. The link has a contact us number that you should be able to find out at. Let me know if you have any dates that you for sure can not make it and we will try to work around everyones schedule.

Nah, sorry I'll be in New Orleans June 6th through the 20th. I'm sure you guys will have a blast. Be sure to bring a small camera in your pocket. 3500 feet is high for a static line jump. You'll have lots of time to snap photos.

Cool I will try to set up a date that works for everyone then. It may end up being later than that rather than earlier because I am planning a trip and have to make sure I have money for both.

I wouldn't mind doing this but I will have to see if I can get time off from work and then have the money to drive in from here and for the jump. But this is something I want to do this summer regardless.

K Deposit is $50 per person. If you want you guys can give me your deposits and I will put them all down or someone else can do it. If you cancel, chicken out or are over the weight limit (they weigh that day) you lose your deposit.
