casey 0 #1 May 9, 2006 Hi everyone, I am Casey Findley I am former skydiver and a graduate student at Auburn University Montgomery (AUM). I am doing research and writing papers on extreme sports. I have a survey going right now online. I have people from several different extreme sports, but I need some skydiver representation. SO, would you guys (& gals) please take my survey? Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=919472106051 You might have to copy and paste it. I really appreciate your help. Blues Skies to All.

DJL 235 #3 May 9, 2006 You'll probably find better representation if you don't call it "eXtreme" as most serious participants despise the label. It has something to do with annoying surfer talk and Mt. Dew commercials, the whole marketing thing.

kelpdiver 2 #4 May 9, 2006 there's a serious flaw starting with page 1 when you have a choice of: I've done it more than once and I love it and do it as much as I can How do you place a item like scuba where I've logged nearly 400 dives, yet only a couple in the past year? Clearly not doing it as much as I can. Same for an annual rafting trip. And then the typos and oddly phrased stuff...I lost patience at page 3 and went elsewhere. Sorry, man.

It's like labeling yourself "Immature". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkM 0 #8 May 9, 2006 I totally didn't understand the "do you identify yourself with" questions. Like the whole boat in the middle of the Colorado river question. Like would I ever see myself there(sure) vs do I feel like this in my life(never). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
