Willos 100th Skydive @ Skydive Perris ---------> RASTA SKY NINJAS

This Monday I went to Skydive Perris to jump with my good friend and ninja Willo on his 100th jump!
We got together 7 of his skydiving friends and put together a fun jump for him. Headdown exit followed by gathered headup in sit, focused on Willo as base. We had a great time even if we didn´t make the entired jump as planned, but that didn´t matter, Willo was satisfied, that was the important thing!

With him on this jump was Me, Danny, Nick, Lindsey, AgentLead & Paul

CONGRATULATIONS WILLO, ON YOUR 100 TH !!

Skydive Perris, California


One day me and Petter went to Skydive Perris to jump. Perris is a little different from Elsinore. It´s a different mentality and the organizing is a bit different too. The structure of Skydive Perris is very good. They have all the facilities. Manifest, packing areas, paid packing, swoop pond, restaurant, bar, bunkhouse, team rooms, riggers, sport shop, skydiving school, and even a pool. They have everything a proper dropzone should have, but than again, Perris is the second largest dropzone in the states so they really need to keep that level.

Aircrafts



The air capacity is great, you never have to wait long to get a ride up. They have many planes, but mostly they have Two Super Twin Otters going full time, One Super 300 Twin Otter and when thats not enough they use their Skyvan. 



They are also the only Dropzone with a DC -9 jet, but it´s not used every day, but thats COOL!!


Another good thing is that they have their own windtunnel, and thats a great plus, not many dropzones can provide you with that. 


Right now I´m going back and forth between Elsinore and Perris. A good thing about Perris thats different from Elsinore is that if you´re visiting the dropzone by yourself and doesn´t have anyone to jump with, there are organizers on the DZ every day who will let you jump with them, and do whatever you want to do in the air, depending on what you´re learning at the moment. So you´re never alone in the air ;-)

Here´s some pictures from a couple of days in Perris

Close your eyes, relax your body, take a deap breath, feel your heartbeat slowing down, free your mind, take another breath, notice that your lips are starting to smile for no reason, picture the jump in your mind..... 

Ready - Set.......

GO !!
