Where are all the SKYDIVERS???

Recommended Posts

Is it just me or do we seem to be collecting "hangers on"???
It seems there are more non-jumpers or those that simply claim to be jumpers although none of them have ever been spotted on an actual dropzone - than true jumpers on this web site these days.
We even have people with a whopping FIVE JUMPS posting in the incidents forum.:S
I go to motorcycle forums all the time...and the guys there actually ride!

Maybe we should actually require a license verification function to even allow folks here!:D

maybe I just need coffee this morning. B|:D:D

Though this has recently been discussed here I completely agree. I love getting advice from the under 50 jump and I jumped a few times a few years ago club.

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

I go to a few MC forums too and there are just as many wannabe Rossi/Stoners on those boards as there are wanna be skygods here.
And you know that :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: Cause you ride a Harley..Fuck me there are more wanna be Harley (owners Group) riders than all the other combined :D:D:D

Dont worry Jay, you still get in the skydiver club.



Screw that. I would never be part of any club or group that had standards so low they would allow ME in.

What diff does it make really though? Everybody has there own reason for being here. Me, it's a way to stay in contact with friends. Yes, I have only 6 jumps but I flew jumpers for over 10 years. Should I be banned?

I've probably got more time at the DZ opening a fridge than you do total time in jumping!B|B|B| Everybody has their reason....!!;)

Don'tcha think it falls loosely into the same category as "women who write death row inmates?" I mean...we're all bad-ass death-defying freaks of nature, everyone wants to be bad-ass like us, right? "Guilt" by association?:P

We need someone to fill the void of skydivers who actually skydive but don't post on here.

We should make requirements for such fill though.
Any thoughts?:P



Oh, I dunno. If they can't produce a valid "A" license, either restrict them to the Greets and Introductions forum or create one called Noobs and Skygod wannabes for them. :D

I have a good number of skydives; am B license cert (and yes Im one of those people who will not fax the paperwork to the UselesSPA before I'm D certified so I can avoid paying $20 per license); just sold my old canopy and purchaced a new one; have jumped in Mesquite, Z-Hills, Carolina Sky Sports, and Skydive Ogden this season alone (and can verify that).

Im not sure does that make me a skydiver?:S
