    ok guys just a little help needed.

    im doing research into the contrasting views of people who do not participate in extreme sports and people who do.

    I have two surveys done out both with ten questions and neither should take more than 5 minutes to fill out. Id really appreciate if as many people as possile take the time to fill it out as i need at least 50 respondents to each survey.

    I am focusing on skydiving for convenience for me.

    The first survey is for people with either NO skydives or just ONE skydive.

    NON PARTICIPANT SURVEY

    The second survey is for People with more than one skydive.

    PARTICIPANT SURVEY

    Thanks in advance,

    mark

    Did your non-participant one - 1 Tandem Skydive. Good luck.

    Had issues on question 4 when I added comments I kept getting a "The comment you entered is in an invalid format" message so I had to leave it blank, just FYI.

    thanks alot man i appreciate it

    iv gotten loads of skydiver responces but not alot of non skydiver responces......just not interested i guess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,533 ✭✭✭iceage


    No problem mate. Funny I noticed that after I did one(only one) when you speak to anyone about Skydiving, only a few go "Ah yeah, Skydiving, did one once, or yeah I Skydive cos I love it blah blah" or "I'd love to do one".................

    The majority of people who aren't or haven't done it go "ARE YOU F*CKIN CRAZY!!!!!!!!! OUT OF A PERFECTLY GOOD AIRCRAFT!!!!!!!! WHY WOULD I WANNA DO THAT????!!!!!!!!! :D

    I suppose its a fair response really! ;)

    You try and motivate them by putting them in a really crap aircraft. Ok, not all C-182s are so terrible but add another 3 people and some farting and the students are practically running for the door.

    So, PeakOutput, are you fit as all hell after a summer of packing?!?!

    It's the beer, whatever you gain in the day is killed during the night. And then some :rolleyes: At least it's cheap.

    Handful of jumps up in Garvagh (wild geese), couple of hundred in Zhills and Arizona, couple of hundred in Canada. If you can keep up, Arizona rocks. I found it generally cheaper and lesss frustrating to save up and go abroad than to try and jump here so I never tried!

    Thanks for the PM by the way, I'll drop them a line at some point... Cheers!

    very nice cant wait to see arizona. im going back to new england next summer till about october then gonna try and get a packing job in sebastian if i go to florida or somewhere in california if i go there till january so should increase the jump numbers significantly then.

    if you have any money saved there is a big enough group of us going to skydive spain over new years for their boogie should be great craic
