Slyde 1 #1 May 14, 2009 I have written via email to "editor@dropzone.com" to ask that a new heading be added to the sight where topics specifically related to skydiving entertainment can be discussed. I promise to WRITE, write, write profusely for that site. The ideas and their evolution will become the textbook for Demo Academics. Much of it is already written. You need to tweak me. I believe in credit where credit is due btw. Please help me persuade the site manager to allow this new "Skydiving Entertainment" heading in Forums. And let's stop calling them "demos." (I'll change the name of the course, eventually. I promise.) m~A Peace Prize within minutes of Bombing the Moon. Coincidence? "Beware the Military Industrial Complex." You GO Ike!

grimmie 186 #2 May 15, 2009 A "demo" is a jump with flags/smoke/banners, etc in front of a crowd of people. "Skydiving Entertainment" happens when the rain clouds come or the sun goes down at the DZ. Usually started with a "Hey, hold my beer and watch this"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, in this new day and age the buzz words are "professional exhibition" (unless it's really a stunt, dressed as a demo) (or you hit the tuba player some people never get to live it down, but you can make the flying Elvis team so it's all good dude.) you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The idea is to get across the fact: Demos or Professional Exhibitions are services provided for the sake of entertaining audiences. Advancement and evolution of the profession, I think requires an understanding of the mission - a professional entertainment service. There might need to be a discussion on how to effectively dodge a tuba. A Peace Prize within minutes of Bombing the Moon. Coincidence? "Beware the Military Industrial Complex." You GO Ike!
