normiss 723 #1 July 23, 2008 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. 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! maybe I just need coffee this morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodpecker 0 #2 July 23, 2008 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.SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

Thanatos340 1 #3 July 23, 2008 So how many Jumps per month or year should we do to be considered a "True Jumper" and/or "Real SKYDIVER"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Everybody has their reason....!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simplyputsi 0 #12 July 23, 2008 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? Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

millertime24 8 #23 July 23, 2008 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? Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
