Lets talk about sponsorships
hottamaly replied to hottamaly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have worked with two different skydiving equipment suppliers for the last 7 years and they get asked to sponsor folks daily. Some get fully sponsored and the others get good discounts and it seems to me that the only time we hear from these people is when they want more free stuff. I know there are a few people out there that work hard recommending the equipment that they have received discounts on, but for the most part I have rarely had a customer tell me that so and so recommended the product they were using and that was the decision maker for them. No thank yous are written, no emails saying how their team is doing or pictures sent, nothing. Then the next year, they just expect these expensive products to be given to them automatically again. I don't get it! When I am lucky enough to have someone sponsor me, I make sure that I talk about what I am using and how great it is and recommend that product to folks for them to consider purchasing. If I was one of those dealers and my sponsored people took advantage of me like that, I'd drop them like a hot rock. I (as a dealer) want the people I take care of, to take care of me as well. If they are not recommending my products, how can I afford to sponsor them in the future? I just wanted to throw this out there for all to think about before you ask someone to sponsor you. Thanks for letting me vent. Skydiving gave me a reason to live I'm not afraid of what I'll miss when I die...I'm afraid of what I'll miss as I live -
Just wanted to share with everyone that it isn't always money that will help charities and this doesn't cost anything but a little time to give. Thanks to those that can and do!!!

Ok, the ones that CAN give please do so. The ones that can't, can encourage the ones who can. Skydiving gave me a reason to live I'm not afraid of what I'll miss when I die...I'm afraid of what I'll miss as I live

A friend of mine was hurt last week and required 2 complete blood transfusions. The hospital ran out and had to get more from other sources. Out here in Calif. we are having a blood drive in Hemet, Aug 9th from 11am.-4:00pm. Please, everyone, if you can give blood where you live, DO IT. We all might need some liquid gold sometime. For further info on the hemet drive, call Blue at Square One in Perris. Thanks Skydiving gave me a reason to live I'm not afraid of what I'll miss when I die...I'm afraid of what I'll miss as I live

The folks and Perris and Elsinore are going to be asked to have a quick test done on their reserve pins before they can board a plane because a bad batch went out and they don't know when. It doesn't have to do with the rig maker, but with the reserve pin maker. I'm all for this, I don't want to do that last pull and have my pin stay put and keep my reserve from coming out. They will be putting a tag on your rig to show it was done and up, up, and away you go. It's MANDATORY at these 2 DZ's and should be for all.

After reading about it in Parachutist, I then have talked to 2 different riggers that have confirmed that a "bad batch" of reserve cables are out there. A couple of them have broken at the cable/pin attachment point which leaves the pin in the closing loop after the reserve cable has been pulled. We know what that might lead too. Go have your rigger check it to be sure you are safe. Skydiving gave me a reason to live I'm not afraid of what I'll miss when I die...I'm afraid of what I'll miss as I live

You go girl. I know you can do it. And guys...quit making her show her boobs. This is a good thing and I don't see you "boys" out there getting donations for good causes. So I challenge you here and now (throwing down the gauntlet) for every time you say (or type) boobies until Sept. you donate a nickle. That should bring up the total donation X's 3
