When is someone truly a skydiver?

Who is having a difficult time with definitions?



The people who get ticked off, silly.


Oh. Well, I don't think they're getting ticked off at definitions so much as getting ticked off at other people's judgments and elitist attitudes. I mean, I could "define" someone as a poser douchebag, and when they get mad about it, I could just say that I don't understand why they have a difficult time with definitions. :P

There is a dictionary definition for "skydiver," but that's not what this thread seems to be about.

Oh shit!! I agree with [rehmwa]. I am scared. Very scared.



Don't be scared. I agree with him all the time, and I'm still awesome.

even more awesome when you agree with me - if that's even possible

When you each send me $100 and I will send you an official Skydiver Decoder Ring.



And a pull up cord?



For 100 you better get a couple of BJs too.:|

I think it's when you land, look back up at the sky and suddenly realize that you were flying well without having to think about every little maneuver.
My reality and yours are quite different.

So what is your opinion



IMHO it's all just semantics. If someone has done one tandem and wants to call themselves a skydiver let them. There's better things to do with your time than shoot down people who want to to be thought of or classed as something, whether they are in the club or not. It's an ego thing for them, and I would suggest getting too worked up about it is also an ego thing.

I never contemplated a tandem before aff for the reasons you speak of, I wanted as much of the responsibility on that 1st jump as I could get, but if anybody wants to do a single tandem and then call themselves a skydiver that's fine with me, come find me in the bar at the end of the day and we can trade stories and compare notes, if that's your FIRST and going to be only skydive, you're buying the beer!


Sarah if I'd known you're contemplating selling your body, even if only look but don't touch, I'd of made you an offer given you a jump ticket in Seville.

They're a skydiver when they've decided that they're interested in skydiving, will be involved in the sport in some capacity, and will make the occassional skydive. Anyone who says otherwise is probably a sky-god and needs a warm cup of shut-the-fuck-up.
