And that, presumably, is all they care about.

MONEY...it is what the wesbite is about. Besides stroking his ego.

But it DOES mean he is successful. And that, presumably, is what he cares about.

Skyride is successful...

Someone asked my thoughts and I told him. Sorry if it offended anyone.

Ok, I am done. I was just asking a question about self promotion I did not mean anything bad by it. I know Jim accomplished a lot.

Jeb cannot walk down a street in China without being stopped for autographs and pictures (I watched this just last month).

David Hasselhoff can't walk in Germany without the same. Does not mean he is actually talented.

Luigi has pretty much fallen off the map. Maybe he is still big in Brazil.

Jeb is a self promoting Muppet. I think a lot of people on DZ.com agrees with that.

"Lord Jim"? Never heard that. Maybe he demanded his students call him that.

LOL... and that separates him from the average skydiver how...?

This is more excessive than most skydivers I know. Maybe he has money to burn. Oh well...it is what it is.

End of thread...

Nothing against him. Just seems very egoistic to me.

You do not have a website with pictures of you signing autographs. It has probably never crossed your mind. That is not you.

I researched "Jim Slaton Autograph" and I found it was not worth anything. He has two pictures on his homepage signing autographs. Next time I am in Vegas I will take this to Pawn Stars.

Wikipedia for Fat Fucks Who Skydive please make sure I am included!

Olav is the God of Everything. If he was dentist before why does his teeth look so bad.

Paul Rafferty didn't and Craig Girard does not either!

You have the true pioneers like Omar Alhegelan. He does not start a wikipedia about himself he does not brag. He is not a skygod.

I see he made a wikipedia and several websites for himself. Did he reallty bring that much to skydiving or was he just a self promoting ahole.

AssMonkey....that funky monkey!

I am voting for Romney. The USA will not be the same under Obama's second term. It will take more than our lifetime to fix.

I was dropped off at Eloy because I was out of money, broke, and I knew a DZ could possibly become home. Of course Eloy is the DZ of all DZ's. Perfect weather, Arizona Airspeed, Arizona Freeflight, LEGENDS in the sport.

One of the first people I met and befriended was Ash. He introduced himself when I was working at maintenance and said "Hey, this was my first DZ job here too!" We got to know each other and before I knew it we made a hop and pop from altitude. There were others in the air but he kept zooming me from a distance and we maintained a conversation until about 7k.

Ash and I had a lot of fun times partying in Eloy. He and Kitty sold me their trailer for almost nothing because I was living in the bunkhouse at the time.

Ash, I will always remember you as the man who saved my life. I became stronger as a person knowing you. Because of your love and compassion I am here today.

Blue Skies.

Skydiving is a small world but today it became even smaller. I heard that one of the managers that work for me lost a friend this weekend. I went and talked to her and found out she is best friends with Rosrigo's wife. They were having a service tonight in Roswell.

I have not jumped in a couple of years. The last time I jumped was at STF and Hans was my AFF Instructor back in 2000. I was able to comfort her I hope a little by talking about the sport.

Blue Skies, Rodrigo. Yeimi tod me about you trying to get her husband into skydiving. I will take over and get him and her to at least make a tandem.

RIP, Uncle Leo. Sorry for your loss Michele.
