Well since so many are interested we need to choose a date i was thining late june on a sunday get time for ppl to sign up and save cash the training course is typically 4-5 hours so it would be an all day event to get time for everyone to jump. so once we decide on the final date we need ppl to sign up for sure. if you back out we all get screwed on the discount. ---

DETAILS I called again and got all questions answered THE COST 176 each after 20% discount plus gst (no pst) = 188.32 TOTAL THE CLASS registration starts at 9am class starts at 10am and goes to around 3-4 THE JUMP starting after teh class untill sunset if the weather conditions become a problem teh jump its self can be rescedualed and a refresher course is required at a 10 dollar cost Jumps are from 3000 feet weather permiting 4000 or even 5000 are possible with a 15 dollar cost per 1000ft its so low because your all noobs and wind can creat different conditions. the most they have had in a day before is 29 with out a problem so we will be ok. deposits will be required to make sure we dont get screwed on the discount feel free to bring friends, please add them to a spot 1.
