I agree!
As an experienced skygod, it is my duty to size up and cut down newbie 100 jump wonders. It is similar to a hazing ritual. I want them to know that I’m watching them. Just hoping they make the tiniest error so I can jump all over them about it!
Sometimes my behavior causes newer jumpers to quit the sport or visit other dropzones just to avoid me. If this happens, I usually find out where they are jumping. I then assign a local skygod to harass them so they can break their spirits also! It’s quite fun, and it’s all in the name of safety.
UntamedDOG Im not sure this is the way to go about things either. I thought we were supposed to be promoting the sport instead of pushing people away.
I also think this kind of an attitude is a safety issue in itself. It's hard enough to overcome your fears in the first place let alone someone jumping all over you. I guess common sense isn't common. HIGH SPEED NO DRAG
