Today, Tennessee State law says No to Skyride!

Recommended Posts

Just for the record: Bay Area Skydiving is in Contra Costa County, which is part of the Bay Area. True, it's at the far east end.

Any developments? Googling Skydive Nashville still hits a ton of BS sites



I do think it's past time to set the teeth-baring german shepherd right for their balls. :P

Skyscam doesnt have any balls. Thats why they do their "buisness" over the phone and on the internet. No face to face though.

The latest on that is that you are right, they have not made any changes to their websites and I still get just as many calls from angry customers that got ripped off by sLyride. Their day is coming.

My gut feeling is that they will just keep going business as usual. When the shit hits the fan, make sure it hits them like an H-bomb of shit. :P

Just to let everyone know, even though sLyide's sites appear to be disappearing, they are still doing business as usual. They told me they don't care about "Any damn law and they don't care who likes it or don't like it. Just get over it"

H-Bomb of shit, on the way!

Talking about TOTAL disregard for the law. sLyride is now running radio commercials in Nashville advertising for their Nashvilleskydiving.com website. They have yet to add their physical address to their websites and the "Local" number still gets forwarded to Cedartown. Still illegal!

Who would have thought sLyride would defy the law like that????:S

They will keep doing it until somebody tells them to stop, with some teeth, or a really big stick. Sic the Tennessee state AG on them.



It's in the works. Bend over sLyride, I'll drive!!!>:(

Yes they suck but after a bunch of kicking and screaming our DZ started to take them again and after the skyride customers jump and have all kinds of fun the call the DZ directly for the next jumps and they also tell their friends how to book directly with us instead of skyride. Essentially they are a source of advertising for us. Every year there are a little bit less of the skyride vouchers...not that there were all that many to begin with.



So who was doing the kicking and screaming?

These types of laws are insular and cause more harm than good I think - Tenesee will find itself isolated soon if it keeps this kind of thing up..



Isolatd from what? Companies that prey on uneducated consumers? Why is that a problem?

I heard that their attorneys have frozen their assest due to them not paying attorney fees for the Skydive Arizona case. Is this true? :S



I heard the same thing, but The Attorneys didn't tell me that, so I'm not sure. It definitely sounds possible, even probable. They rip off their customers, the people who made them rich, why would they not rip off someone who has their hands out for some of sLyride's money?

To no one's surprise, sLyride is not complying with the new Tennessee Law and they seem to have completely thumbed their nose at the Georgia Supreme Court order. They must know that their time is short and they are scamming as many people that they came before the Government shuts them completely down.
Any thoughts?

I am adding some examples to the previous post since I missed the edit period ealier.
This is two of sLyride's sites for what they advertise to be "Nashville Skydiving" http://www.nashvilleskydiving.com and http://www.skydivenashville.com
This is the link for the Georgia Supreme Court order; http://funjumper.com/skyride/gadoc.pdf
You will notice that this court order directs sLyride to add their physical locations to their websites and is to be on the home pages. And there are other directions in this court order as well that they have showed no apparent effort to comply such as the obvious links to their "Terms and conditions" and the modified information contained in those pages.
After checking those sites, and the court order, you will see that theyr have not done nothing more than thumb their nose at the court order and the Tennessee law.
This is the Whois report for one of their domains that they are apparently trying to hide the identity of the ownership of the domain so they don't have to comply with the court order. http://who.godaddy.com/WhoIs.aspx?domain=nashvilleskydiving.com&prog_id=godaddy
as far as I can tell, they have done this to all of their domains that are used in Tennessee and I'm sure they do it in the other states as well.
It is quite obvious that sLyride is trying to pull out all the stops to continue to scam their customers as much as possible.
Another point that they probably didn't consider when they did this change, is the we now have a law the govern their kind of deceptive advertising, and by them showing ownership in Tennessee, it makes it more enforcable, and will show those theives that the are not above the law and now, our law DOES effect them!
So my message to all you sLyride supporters that read these posts, and I know you follow them, GET LEGAL OR GET THE HELL OUT!

Here's the link. In the process of the bill becoming law, they change the URL; http://www.state.tn.us/sos/acts/105/pub/pc0873.pdf
