Who

We are a group of skydivers from around the world looking to support other skydivers.

The idea was initially conceived by Eric Lubow and with the initial help of Peter Dierx, we got this thing off the ground. With a little help from our friends, it has now turned into the site that you are using today.


Why

We are doing this because we have something to offer. We have the skill set to create a section of the internet for jumpers by jumpers for helping out our own. In short, "We are jumpers helping jumpers jump!"


If you have the option of going to any restaurant, would it not be better to go visit a fellow skydiver at their place? If you need work done on your house, maybe it would be best to use someone from the dropzone? If your company is hiring, ask around at the dropzone to see if there is someone in need of work.


Although we are a community that is growing larger all the time, we need to take care of our own. Next time you think about spending your hard earned money (on something outside of skydiving), spend it on supporting another skydiver.


What are we not?

We are not trying to replace or be any other Skydiving website. Dropzone.com will still be there for you as will the USPA website. We are providing an additional service that is usually done by the local dropzone. We are just expanding your reach.


What can you do?

Pass the word along. Tell everyone you know to support skydivers. Tell people at the dropzone to add their business and the rest of the jumpers to use the site to find a contractor, a job, a consultant, a rigger, a financial analyst, a place to eat or anything else that a jumper does for money. Get going and make this site useful.
