  1. They run thousands of websites all over America including Hawaii, Alaska, Peurto Rico, Bahamas and more that claim to offer Skydiving and all kinds of over "High Risk" experiences in places that they do NOT have locations for and they DO NOT tell the customer until long after they have sold them a worthless gift certificate. Just Google "1 800 Skyride Scam", "ASC Skydiving Scam", "Thrill Planet scam" or even "Skydiving Scam" and see for yourself. Refuse to Lose!!!

  3. There probably is. Those ads are a Javascript and these a setting in most computers that turn that off, but the problem is the average surfer has it turned on which brings us back to educating the public about the scam and how to avoid it. Getting sites like DZ.com and others who have the ads on their sites are a good start. If the customer don't see the ad, they can't purchase the tickets, or it at least makes it less likely they will. for anyone is looking for the ads, you may look at your DZ listing and anywhere else on the site you frequent. The Google ads are keyword and content triggered, so if a page like the one I just posted has a listing for something like "Skydive Alabama" or Skydiving in Alabama", their ads are programmed to trigger. They are also geographically targeted, so their domains in the ads will show up in areas that we can't see based on the IP of the surfer, ie; I'm in Nashville, I can't see what someone in California sees. So this is going to take a collective effort on our part to work with the mods to get them the info they need to get these ads removed. The attachment is what they are having to do to block sLyride from running their ads. They have to add each domain individually as they show up. Refuse to Lose!!!

  5. Yeah, Advertising in and to a community that does not welcome ANY of their advertising! If someone buys a GC from one of the ads they found here on DZ.com, then later finds the gift certificate is worthless, that makes the whole skydiving community look like a bunch of scammers, and given all the damage them fuckers have already done to our sport, they need to be kept as far away from sites like DZ.com as possible. Getting them banned from Google would be the ultimate step in cleaning up our sport. For now we just have to keep educating the public as aggressively as possible and to get to the customer before sLyride does. Refuse to Lose!!!

  8. They have been on there for a long time. Now that I know that the DZ.com admin and Mods are proactive about stopping that, Maybe we can stop another stream of sLyride's bogus ads. Some of you may know, and most that has a Google Adsense acct should know, you can block entire domains in your acct settings. It offers a filter for that purpose. I am always adding them to my acct.

  11. I have such a network of people across the country who send me stuff that I don't have to look for stuff on you fools. You may not know that I only post about 10% of the stuff people send me. I get an average of 5 to 10 emails a day from victims of the sLyride scam, and those don't get posted. So the answer is, NO, I am not stalking you and your buddies. And NO! I am NOT a Fucker, I make love! **edited to add** If you want to discuss sLyride stuff, do so in the appropriate sLyride thread. I'm sure the Mods will agree! Refuse to Lose!!!

  12. Is that the same model used in the movie Cannonball Run with two hot chicks in it? I drove a 78 model, I think that one was an 80 model. The one I drove was red, that one was black. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

  16. Hey Darrell, That's ok, don't worry about them whining about what it says. You may remember why Nashvilleskydiving.org became a consumer alert in the first place. It had one little sentence in the fine print, that said something that directed the surfers to the other DZ's, and they kept whining about that so, you see now the whole site talks about their scam. They brought that on themselves just like they always do. As I have said multiple times, it's not written for the enjoyment of the jumper, it's written to inform the Whuffo of a scam that is taking place in the world of Skydiving and other "Extreme" sports. Something else, this is NOT a skydiving issue! It's a business issue! Chuck called me last week and tried to get me to take the sites down, then he went off into this spill about he has several thousand jumps and has jumped with whatever teams and done this and done that, he, and those guys don't get the point, it don't matter if it's Skydiving, Shark Diving or Race Car driving or whatever, It's all the same to me and I try to cover all of it. According to the Race Car Schools that I communicate with, there are no known schools who accept the sLyride tickets, and yes, there is a consumer alert about that as well, but there's no whining about that. The same for the sharks and the other venues. There's only about 6 known Glider companies that take the tickets, and they don't even whine about it. In fact, there's one Glider operator who last linked to skyrideripoff, and has a page about them, but accepts their tickets because he's backed in the corner because people in his area are getting screwed, so he helps them out. The story is longer than that, but the same old story we've all heard. It boils down to Internet Piracy. I say let them whine, they just keep bringing more shit on themselves when they do that and make life harder on themselves. Refuse to Lose!!!

  19. Yes I will stay there as I love seeing people enjoy themselves after an exilerating tandem skydive and just because staff members may jump elswhere doesnt mean anything (we are allowed to have fun when we travel Mr. Fun Nazi) Perhaps I should recommend you for a semester of Hooked on Phonics. In post #21 of this thread I posted the first few lines of the site and it clearly acknowledges that there is a DZ in Waverly. It clearly states that "The Skydive center in Waverly is part of the scam", referring to having sites advertising to have locations they don't have. Unless I can't read, that's pretty clear to me that there's a DZ in Waverly. If you see something that I don't that says there's no Skydiving in Waverly, let me know. As much as I would love to say there's no DZ there, That's where I would cross the legal line, and I'm not going there. Refuse to Lose!!!

  20. The Geo-Targeting is not live yet, but close. That, along with quite a few interesting changes are "Coming soon to a Computer Screen near you!" Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  21. Not so! This is the title and the first paragraph in the site, It even goes so far as to aknowledge that there's a DZ in Waverly; Looking for Skydiving in the Nashville area? Before you decide to Skydive at the Adventure Skydive Center in Waverly, these are facts you need to know. A Gift Certificate Company based in Kennesaw, Ga. that operates under the names of Adventure Skydiving Tennessee, ASC, 1 800 Skyride, Adventure Sports or Thrill Planet has been running websites and internet advertising claiming to offer Skydiving in each and every city and state in America and the Skydiving Center in Waverly, Tn. is part of this scam. If you want to read the rest, go to nashvilleskydiving.org And if you think I changed something, do a Google search for the site and click the "Cached" link and see what it looked like the last time Google checked it. The Google Cashe usually runs about three weeks between updates. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  22. I noticed at the bottom of the BBB report, that there's a link there that says; "Dont Get Scalped by Online Ticket Brokers", Maybe "Scalpers" is a name the slyride supporters can live with? I don't even give them fuckers that much credit! Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  23. You mean this Arizona court case? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=121815; And the if he thinks there's nothing wrong with the stickers, the city of Nashville disagreed! http://1800skyrideripoff.com/nashville_court_order.pdf And as for those stickers being "just advertising" and he says they are, and the stickers are not a scam, Here's a bit of insight on that. http://www.wsmv.com/news/21545258/detail.html Here's Randy Travis's news report that talks about sLyride still having sites in locations they don't have services for, and their blatant disregard for court orders and laws. Pay attention to the part where they talk about Kansas. http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/i-team%3A-skyride-loses-010610 The sacrificial lamb was mentioned in a previous thread, That was covered before Nashville ever took sLyride to court. Their shell game was also covered. That was the two key elements that lead to Chuck having to show up in court and answer to the charges and was not able to blame it on someone else. The city prosecutors was supplied with the full list all all known company names that sLyride hides behind, including ASC and AST. The city prosecutors were well informed of the sLyride tactics at the beginning of the investigation so they would not be able to avoid prosecution, and it worked. After all that, he still supports them? With all the info that's available about the company, he, and anyone else who supports any sLyride, or sLyride affiliated DZ are willing participants in the crimes of Cary Q, and are even sponsoring it.

  24. I think you are partially wrong about that. I drive stock cars and I can tell you that my reaction time is a lot quicker than before I got in to driving. It also makes you more aware of your surroundings and of the possibility of what can happen, even though that's a closed environment, you still never know what will happen. Skid/Spinout recovery, staying clam in a wreck scenario are other skills that do translate. Obviously we can't use the "Chrome Horn" to move someone out of the way on the street, so that's one driving skill that won't translate to the street. Refuse to Lose!!!
