pegasus 0 #1 September 19, 2003 A reporter is coming out to our dz within the next 2 weeks to do a story about skydiving. I am needing some stories of diversity in skydiving, that can be backed by facts. We are wanting to do a hot hot story on our SAFE fun sport. By diversity, I mean the oldest first time jumpers, handicapped jumpers (does anyone know how I can contact the group "pieces of eight"?) Any help would be greatly apprecitaed, I can be reached through email at skydivinmama@yahoo.com Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikemc 0 #4 September 19, 2003 I am quite sure anyone promoting the sport will be responsible enough to say, yes accidents do happen we can avoid this by............ We all need to promote the sport in the best light we can, lets help each other. Dont say you cant tell anyone its a safe sport.......lame O. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinfoil 0 #5 September 19, 2003 Can I suggest talking to the reporter just after a naked jump? “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture. And most importantly, two fat bastards smacking the shit out of each other. ” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
