  2. Yes Jarno it is. You are imagining that I have a lot more interest in your team than I do. That item in the top 10 was actually inspired by a phase told to me more than once by a Wingsuit Coach: "Think like brick, fly like brick" It is a coincidence and nothing more. I googled "fly like brick" a few times and Wicked Wingsuits was at highest on the 4th page....so if it was an attempt at SEO as you think then I would say it was a FAIL on my part...and I know I can do better than that. You are all focused on SEO when I actually use AdWords...which has little to do with the actual content of my site. So you are all barking up the wrong tree. You did clue me in to some new keywords to add, thanks. Edit to add: Team SEO will see you in Elsinore in Nov! Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  3. If you want to debate Rent vs Buy do you think you could do it in a separate thread and leave this one for discussion regarding a consolidate wingsuit coach list please?

  5. Yesterday when I awoke...for some reason it just crossed my mind that if I could give someone only 3 pieces of advice about wing suiting what would they be. Kind of like how in relation to landing I often hear: "Open area, Wings Level, Flare" or in relation to a skydive: "Pull, Pull on Time, Pull Stable". What would it be in wing suiting...maybe: "Exit closed, Fly off jump run, open high"? I felt a hypothetical approach would get better answers as I already took the guess work out of it being a beginner suit and the person having 200 jumps. It's just an exercise to see what people think are the top priorities. What I hear is get coaching. Fully agreed. So then from that coach what are the top 3 things if they could give only 3 pieces of advice. This isn't for any course material I am preparing, or for the back of a business card to give my customers, just an interesting discussion around training and which parts of the message have to be given clearly versus some of the noise.

  6. [reply You've hit up non-skydiving related locations to improve your SEO, you really expect people to suck up the "dumb" act? I just want to blow this theory away so that people can understand not everything you say is accurate and is mostly an assumption, at least in regards to Wicked Wingsuits. Rentabilities.com is a company I originally worked with to develop a CRM solution for WW. It didn't really work out because they were aimed more at traditional rentals but hey wanted to work with us in the future. This is an extract from a letter from their CEO: "Wanted to reach out to you with an update. We are almost done closing our round of financing and we expect the software we talked about to be ready soon. I have a question for you. Do you have photos (and manufacturer and model numbers?) of the wingsuits you rent? I would like to list them in our rental marketplace and spread the word about wickedwingsuits. It's a really unique idea! If not, that's okay - I can use the information from your web site and link back to your site as well... I think you are the only wingsuit rental company around :-)". I can ASSURE you that if I was trying to get my website plastered all over the internet you would see it in more than just one place. Please stick to facts and drop the character assassination attempts. Edited for spelling. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  7. It was 100% hypothetical...but I am interested to hear what situation I was trying to justify...i can't even imagine. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  8. Nope. You have an "exclusive" Tonysuit ad straight under it all, that suggests that we're all exclusively Tonysuit. I don't care for that. I don't care what site it's hosted on. It doesn't need a WW header and an "exclusive Tonysuit" footer to be what you said it was going to be. You can play dumb all you want, but you're obviously using this list and DZ.com to advertise. "Barely any of your customers come by search engine?" Bull. You've hit up non-skydiving related locations to improve your SEO, you really expect people to suck up the "dumb" act? Didn't realize you'd graduated from Flock U school of marketing and wingsuit coaching. Got hot deals on AAD's, too? I think you guys give me a bit more credit than I deserve.....but I suppose I will take it as a compliment! The dig about AAD's is seriously below the belt, you should think that one over a bit more before throwing something like that at me. What are you implying? I guess this isn't advertising? http://www.wingsuitnews.com/2011/10/jumper-spotlight.html Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  9. ...and here is the post where I said the word Independent was removed...and I bet you can't find it on: http://wickedwingsuits.com/thelist.php I am always flexible and I did what I said I would...it is not marketed as being independent.

  11. If anyone fancies a Wingsuit First Flight Course (FFC) during the boogie then please let me know in advance. I need to batch the ground schools together to prevent too much madness!

  12. I have said all along that it isn't advertising. The purpose is and always has been to give our customers a place to go to find local coaches\mentors. Sure, if someone has a coach to go to then I can rent them an Intro or T can't I?....but it isn't the other way around, I am not using the list to create customers. I have had to turn too many customers away this year because they had no access to a FFC....I solved that problem now...or at least I am working on it. Do you make sure someone has a coach to go to before you sell them a Prodigy or P2Z? I don't care that you don't believe me, obviously your head is in the commercial side of things more than mine. I just want people to have someone to go to. I spend plenty of money on promotions for Wicked Wingsuits, I don't need to create a list of names for a search engine, barely any of our customers come to us via a search engine, this is skydiving after all and word of mouth is by far the biggest promoter. I still say the list itself is independent. Who cares that is it hosted on my website. You can see more PF coaches on there than TSI's can't you? I submitted it to WWWN because it is news...but obviously that channel is censored. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  13. Hmmm...my point was that I didn't do that because SEO is NOT my goal, but feel free to discuss. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  14. This "SEO" attack is way off. I did some research on the topic and if that had been my goal then I could have just included all the infamous names in tags in my pages couldn't I? Why would we go to so much effort to develop a map app when I could just have added the text some other way. "Paranoia will destroy ya!" Edited to fix an incorrect quote.

  15. You're input was in email and unstructured, the online form fits into a structured process so that things don't get on the list incorrectly. That is the case here. I will remove you and if you decide you would like an entry please complete the form. We are equally stubborn with our rental forms now also, in the early days we accepted emails but it lead to some errors, so now it is all form based.

  16. Spot, I never received an online form from you so I had to fill in the blanks. Follow the link to submit yourself and we will update the details today.

  18. This is a hypothetical scenario. Imagine that you were in a rush to leave the drop zone to go to a friends wedding in which you had a key role. On the way to the car park you bump into a jumper that is just arriving at the DZ. You notice they have a wingsuit with them. The suit is small in wing size and would be considered a beginner wingsuit. You know the jumper has over 200 jumps but has never received a FFC. You only have enough time to give 3 brief statements of advice. What would they be? Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  19. This is so true, and if you don't own the right suit you could always rent one. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com

  24. My present to the world today will be to remove the word "Independent" from the list. I am a bit anxious about what to rename it because I already used the letters IWCDB in the database....that commits me to using an "I" otherwise it would break the SOE I built. I am thinking Ingenious....or maybe Immature....or even Inbred....all are more fitting than the misuse of the word Independent on a list of coaches that might be biased towards those that hold the TS Wingsuit Training Rating. In the interest of full disclosure I am also biased toward large dogs as opposed to small dogs, sake over wine, campers over time shares and certainly flying first class over economy. I will try and keep these biases out of the list by having some advisors keep me sane. Joking aside....at least I thought I was funny you can forget the word Independent as it relates to the list. It will be independent, but I will keep that little secret to myself. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  25. This statement contradicts itself. How can you be independent if you only work with and champion one brand? The coach list and our TS rentals are not directly related. Let's give it a go and see how it works out. We champion a single Wingsuit but don't have a preferred method of training. There isn't a link between the two is my point.
