BillyVance 34 #51 September 12, 2007 QuoteWhile the major dropzones continue to entertain the hard core team jumpers i.e., Deland etc. dozens of smaller DZ's on which the majority of people in this sport depend have turned almost totally to the profit making operation of tandems to the detriment of fun jumpers on their way up to hard core. How's that for a good argument? Not at my home DZ which has a King Air, but still has the small DZ feel. They send the King Air up as much as they can, sometimes with a less than full load of fun jumpers. Sorry, but your argument does not apply to all small DZs."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 232 #52 September 17, 2007 Quote Quote Quote What is it with all this whining from skydiving's senior citizens? Seriously, it's YOUR peers and contemporaries that established the huge DZ's that pull a ton of tandems. All other DZ's have no choice but to put tandems first or else not fly. Well, it appears whining is not any one particular generation's habit. HAAAA!!!
