Training has come a long way. My first jump was a static line with a T-10 and a belly wart reserve out of a LSU DC-3 at a DZ called Idle Hour. Rest in peace John Cutts.
As someone who is currently thinking of pursuing an A license, this is a great video. Thanks for taking the time to record this and post it here. I've got a few friends who dive out of Perris. Looks like a great place.
C-13218. 76-78 Perris Valley Paracenter. Jim Wilkins, manager/pilot; Dean Westgaard-JM/Rigger; Bill Stage-JM/Master Rigger; Latin Skydiver Team and Saturday night parties. YEP. I was there.
It looks so fancy now. Must be expensive. In my several months of jumping once per week there, the ambience included dust and more dust. There were adults in their twenties or thirties who looked like they lived in poverty who played hackey-sack constantly and always a few people would be smoking dope. It was a nice, relaxed atmosphere--definitely not businesslike as in this film clip.
The only thing we had was the 60 ft trailer for control/booking; DIRT every to sit on and pack; the kiddie pool to stay cool. The "bomb shelter" was another beat up trailer, and GOOD food. IT WAS FUN!
I jumped at Perris 20 years ago and they didn't have any of this... They are and were great people at Perris Valley. I made a lot of friends at that drop zone and learned alot from their excellent staff. I need to visit there. I did 200 jumps over a 8 month period at Perris it was an AMAZING experience!!!!!
I'm finding that with both jump sites available in my area too. The poor attitudes and lack of enthusiasm are not what I expect when handing thousands of dollars to them. It's our society today - maybe he should have interacted with her by text and emojis for a more personal experience.

Who was John Cutts, and what is an LSU DC-3?
@@davemojarra2666 John Cutts was the drop zone owner. LSU is Louisina State University. The DC-3 flew the football team until John purchased it.

Outstanding instruction. She's very, very good. Calm, precise, encouraging. Awesome sauce. :-)
What a fabulous instructor, calm relaxed and so experienced. Very impressed.
cool video! thanks for making and posting it, and thanks to the school and teacher for allowing it to be doc'd!
I still remember first jump Perris in 1977. First 5 were static lines, then freefalls after that, with increasing altitude on successive jumps. FUN!

True! The DZ atmosphere is so cool and relaxing you really live in the moment not just in the sky but at the DZ. ;)

Why is a pilot chute deployed in each tandem jump shortly after stabilizing? Speed, handling the parachute, just curious.
Chris O'Dowd it's a drogue chute. It's used to slow rate of descent(slightly) and help stabilize tandems during freefall.
you think that'll be cool? probably not today😂😂😂
Thanks so much for sharing!!! :)
Nice training center dude.. I didn't see any such facilities at skydive elismore
Elsinore was a big old hangar; and fields of DIRT, just like Perris but we made it fun.
Carmela could you please shut the DOOR!!!
I wonder how many jumps have he has now?

"YU WANNA WATCH MY BLU-RAY"

Lol i was just kidding
Haha
how much we have pay
In 2012 it was about $359 for AFF Level 1. In 2017 it's $199 for tandem
Hey Yeshan I did a video about the prices in skydiving from tandem to an AFF. You can watch it here: bit.ly/2GQSFOu
If you are scared, it's ok. If you are scared and two women are taking care of you, it is not ok. Man up.
Bravery is gender neutral.
Man up? STF up.
