Dude it works both ways. Why do they have to come up to you? Have you tried approaching these guys and learning something? That's what I did and I've met some really cool guys. I don't expect any one to just approach me. Who the hell am I? Go seek it out. Be hungry! We all started out in the same place, with a goofy helmet, a suit that doesn't fit, and a gigantic rig. I love free flying and unfortunately it's exclusive sometimes due to the danger factor in some of the jumps. We all have to put in the time to learn. Find a good FF coach, tunnel if you can afford it, read articles, watch videos, whatever you can do. Where there's a will there's a way. Stop hating on free flyers. "Skygods" exist in all disciplines.

I'm thinking maybe it's in your area. Here in Dubai there are some incredible free flyers. Some of the best. It's definitely alive and well here. It's my preferred discipline as well and I would argue that it's sometimes more challenging to find a 4 way belly than a group that wants to do some free flying. I'm even seeing very experienced flat flyers popping up at the tunnel now to learn free fly techniques. That's just my perspective from my little bubble over here.
