Hey, I was looking for a DZ close to D.C. now that I'v found out Hartwood is
not available and found a site called "Maryland Skydiving". Now from the past
string on this 1-800-skyride thing I was a little unsure when I saw that this
"DZ" is a member of this skyride thing. I checked all the different pages of
the webb site and low and behold there is no directions, the airport they fly
out of is not listed, there are no "names" of the instructors or dz staff. I'm
wondering if this dz even exist at all. I sent the link to the dz an email
asking for the name of the airport and directions so guess I'll wait until I
hear anything from them. I will give them two days to reply then send a second
email, if I get no reply on that one... well, lets just see. Any ideas? any
questions?

That's probably *all* they are.

Look in the yellow pages. If there is any such place worth
visiting, they should advertise.

My guess would be the skydiving group from University of Maryland. I have a
Maryland Skyding sticker on my car from those guys....If that is the case,
they jump at Delmarva. I would recommend Skydive Orange myself. I think
you'll have lots more fun there.

It's Skyride. It's bogus. It's a scam.

Well, As of today I have received no reply to my email. I can only
assume that this "Maryland Skydiving" is just a scam put out by those
low lifes from 1-800-skyride. What a bunch of bull puckey.
