A "skygod" is generally those who think they know it all, but really just have enough info to be dangerous. Kinda like the 100jump wonders (looks at profile....) or even the 1000 jump wonders that don't respect the sport and are over confident.
i see now, i had a totally different impression
i see a skygod as an old time jumper who's been jumping for decades at the same dropzone, knows everybody around and everybody around knows him, is always friendly to people, introduces new jumpers to other jumpers, the one who always spots and is JM on the plane, stuff like that
when i first came to the dropzone i jump at the most now, i knew nobody, and on top of that i'm very introverted around new people, but then all of the sudden a cameraman with something of like 1000-1100 jumps came to me and we started talking, he's introduced me to some people, we've partied together the same night and other weekends after that, he is always really friendly to me, he's offered a few times to ride me to the trainstation, when he goes on a 4way or 5way or X-way he'll ask me if i want to lurk around at a safe distance etc.
i see people like that/him as skygods, for me it's not a belitteling (?is that actually a word?) word to me.
in my book a skygod is definately not as how you describe it.
