marks 0 #1401 August 17, 2005 QuoteI assure you that skydive.com is not associated with 1-800-SKYRIDE. skydive.com is the official site for Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Hinckley, IL. We, as a DZ and as internet marketers, are doing everything we can to put that company out of business and educate the consumer. Joe Jennings and I have swapped links for years. He does, however link to skydiving.com (another Ben and Cary site). Although he has been linking to that site since Lyle Presse managed the domain for St. Catherine's Sport Parachute Club. He might not know that he is now linking to the enemy. rumor has it that skydiving.com was stolen also, well not stolen, but not paid for in full. but i dont know that for a fact. maybe someone should ask lyle.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites baron_68 0 #1412 August 23, 2005 It looks to me more like Skyride is bringing in business that wasn't there to start with. As I understand it, they pay the DZ it's going rate for a tandem but charge the customer a higher amount. The customer is the one who should be mad. If the DZs tell all of the Skyride customers that they got screwed and offer that customer a fee for bringing in new tandems as a way to get their money back, the DZ gets more business through word of mouth and the customer gets some of his money back. Skyride gets the bad press. Just a thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhreeZone 15 #1413 August 23, 2005 No, the DZ gets charged a lesser fee then what they normally make. For example; DZ normal price is $189 Skyride pays the DZ $159 per certificate they redeem Skyride charges the customer $259 for the jump after all the fees. DZ loses $30 over what they would have made, Student is charged $70 more then what they would have been charged originally.

anewempire 0 #1425 September 8, 2005 i like it there but i totally don't agree with skyride. but like i said i can't afford to go some place else. i'm in college and i'm pushing it just being able to jump let alone driving just the 1:15 minutes. i just dont' have the money to drive that extra hour there and back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
