jlmiracle 7 #976 March 21, 2005 Quotewe are treated like two seprate company and since i came in we show no favortism toward skyride trust me if skyride does anything i dont like i call them up and tell them. As far as myself and My Staff we are vendors of skyride. But you are owned by the same people! Does skyride show you favoritism over other GA dz's? I would guess not, since that would be money out of the same owners pockets! Its not the DZ's choice to show favoritism- it's skyrides. They are the ones sending TM's across many states to jump at a dz they own. We are not stupid. We know ASC and Skyride are run the same way. jBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooknswoop 19 #979 March 21, 2005 Now that you are aware that 1) Skyride uses illegal business practices, etc and 2) ASC and Skyride are owned by the same people, will you continue to support ASC/Skyride? Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefallmama1 0 #980 March 21, 2005 First of all you should now that since i have been hear alot of things have changed and will continue to change, But like i said before if you have a beef with skyride call them and ask to speak with vendor relations they will help you and answer any of your question. And if you dont belive that we just a vendor of skyride call and ask. they will most likely tell you that i am the biggest b*t*h in the world and i throw fits with the best of you guys so like i said if you have a problem tell them i am sure they will talk to you and help you understand of address your concernsLive Life to the fullest and have fun doing it.

wmw999 2,444 #981 March 21, 2005 I'm going to suggest that rather than pressing someone to make a commitment in public on a forum when they're not ready, we're probably better off presenting the information, seeing that there has been honest evaluation of the information (which in perplexiti's case it looks like has happened), and letting them act on it? I agree that Skyride's business practices are deplorable. But human nature being what it is, you're less likely to get people to go along if you press them as hard as possible, rather than simply making the path easier and more pleasant in the "better path." So whoever jumps at the "other" Atlanta DZs -- be friendly to newcomers. All of them. Friendlier than ASC.

jlmiracle 7 #984 March 21, 2005 Quote since i have been hear alot of things have changed This was taken from ASC website. we can accommodate persons weighing as much as 285 LBS. There are hand full of small part time operators in the south east U.S. will impose strict weight limits and will not take persons weighing over 239lbs. Although you may not weigh this much this should be a concern as it is an indication of lack of experience and or the modern equipment necessary I think most of the country imposes a weight limit due to the manufactures recommendation. Doesn't look like much has changed there. (in the ways of deceit) jBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Perplexiti 0 #986 March 21, 2005 I am sorry if you don't like my opinion but that was my experience. When I first started asking questions here the response didn't seem very friendly.

WFFC 1 #987 March 21, 2005 QuoteAND AGAIN I ASK WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH SKYRIDE? IF YOU ARE JUST A FUN JUMPER THEN THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO YOU! 1. they lied to me 2. they have stolen images from vidiot friends who were never compensated for their work 3. they have stolen website designs, graphics etc from paid designers - guess what? they were never paid for their work If you'd like me to continue, you'll have to give me a few hours to complete the list. If you'd like the complete list, my billable rate per hour as a consultant is $125. Please advise where you'd like me to send that bill - prepayment is preferred.

MakeItHappen 15 #988 March 21, 2005 Did it occur to anyone that [freefallmama1] and [Perplexiti] are trolling for information? Mike, the laskydiving and skydive-tennessee pics have been changed. What they used to have is here It was a Mission Impossible weekend of jumping, not a movie. This pic is still one with me in it. It has been used on a number of Skyride sites. Other pics on http://www.chicagoskydiving.net/photogal.html and other skyride sites also are not used with permission. ..

pilotdave 0 #990 March 21, 2005 You do realize that financially, ASC's relationship with skyride is totally different from any non-ASC-owned dropzone, right? ASC can accept skyride GCs all day and make MORE profit than they would otherwise, or at least the same profit. ALL THE MONEY GOES TO THE SAME PEOPLE. Other dropzones LOSE the difference in money between a regular tandem and a skyride tandem. To ASC, it's all the same. Profit is profit. Question: What's a regular tandem cost at ASC and what does a skyride tandem cost? How about this one: what percentage of the price of a non-skyride tandem goes to into the DZOs pocket vs a skyride tandem? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hooknswoop 19 #995 March 21, 2005 Quote look i dont know what skyride does The information is available, right here in this thread. QuoteI dont know nor do i care what they do. all i am trying to say look at all side before you start cuting down people. You don't care if what they are doing is illegal? That lowers you way down in my book. Quote My job it to make people happy and make sure every customer that comes through those doors have the best time of there lifes and that is what i do . You have a moral responsibility to take a stand against Skyride scamming people. Read this thread and go to the links where Skyride's scam is explained in detail. QuoteYou cant Hate me for that. I don't hate you, I think you should find some integrity and do what is right. QuoteBecause you would do the same if it was your job. No, I wouldn't. I have been in a similar situation and stood up for what is right. It cost me a lot (skydiving), but I came out ahead with my integrity intact.

WFFC 1 #996 March 21, 2005 QuoteWhat they are doing is not wrong they are just bring people to skydive. and that is want people want when they call. Yes, they bring people into skydiving. The downside, they do whatever it takes to get the almighty dollar, even if that includes not telling the truth to get the money. Quoteplease remember i did say before stealing is not right but i am not the one to judge and neither are you. Yes, recall that you said stealing is wrong. So, based on the fact that we've pointed in the direction of stolen web designs, stolen photos, etc. And expressed that the owners of said items have contacted Skyride with no response from the owners? A customer (or potential customer) can judge a business in their own mind by a rating the business hold with the BBB (see: BBB) Based on the BBB comments, I would question any business I'd do with the organization.
