chuckakers 369 #28 May 9, 2011 QuoteNo one is making you take your old sticker off your car. If you don't want the new one, throw it out. I was only a USPA member for 14 years. If you need a few dozen of the old stickers, let me know, I've got a frickin' box of them somewhere. Some people are not happy without something to bitch about. You couldn't be further from right about me (implied) needing something to bitch about. I'm usually focused on constructive efforts when it comes to skydiving. I'm just calling 'em as I see 'em. It has nothing to do with what - if any - sticker I do or don't have on my car, but if that's all you choose to hear I can't change that.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iowa 0 #29 May 9, 2011 I gotta agree with Chuck on this one. I don't hate the new sticker, but, I don't think it will cause anyone to follow me to the next exit, gas station, whatever. The old sticker has often in the past. Keith ''Always do sober what you said you would do drunk.

Pay no attention to Bill, Keith. He's convinced only tandem passengers look at bumper stickers.

Remember girls in cutoff jeans and tube tops holding tension for you? That went out because of air conditioned packing. Hell in a handbasket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigbey 0 #33 May 10, 2011 Quotegirls in cutoff jeans and tube tops holding tension for you Are you talking about packing? That made me think of something else. FWIW: I always liked the old stickers. They are very easy to recognize and somewhat nostalgic. But it's time for an update. The new stickers won't be around long -- hopefully. So perhaps something new again next year. Maybe someone landing a wingsuit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SansSuit 1 #35 May 10, 2011 I say we get the USPA to dig in their closet and bring back some of their promotional stickers from the past. Classics such as: "Need Air? SKYDIVE!" or "SKYDIVE The remedy for road rage" Better yet "Y2K FIX? SKYDIVE!" And my favorite WTF, "SKYDIVING THE SPORT OF PRESIDENTS" Although I thought this one was kinda cute, "SKYDIVE Because your mother told you not to" Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #36 May 10, 2011 If the standard blue logo sticker had been included with the new sticker so the jumper could decide which sticker to display, would it have been a fair compromise?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
