Skydiving Scams Help!?

Question

I'm located near Nashville, TN and interested in skydiving for the first time, but am just a little confused since I just found out about the scams of 1-800-Skyride listed on this page

http://1800skyrideripoff.com/Skydiving/skyride/

Although on this website, they claim there is only 3 actual dropzones in TN

http://www.nashvilleskydiving.org/

....well others on yahoo answers have suggested going to websites such as www.dropzone.com and www.uspa.org for "true" info on actual dropzones in your area. After a little research, I noticed that these websites have different skydiving centers totalling up to 5 in TN. So who's telling the truth? Also, uspa.org shows that there is a location in Clarksville, TN.....(for me would be closest) but when you click on their website it goes to this page.

Their contact number is the exact same as one on the links on the previous page! See below!

Who is telling the truth?????

Answer 1

1800skyrideripoff.com and Nashvilleskydiving.org are telling the truth. If a surfer is looking for a place to skydive, be advised that there are ONLY three full time skydive centers and one (Tullahoma) that operates a couple of days a month.
The REAL Skydive Centers are as follows;
http://www.skydivekingair.com
http://www.skydivesmokymountains.com
http://www.skydiveet.com
and the part time Skydive cenetr is;
http://www.tennskydive.com

The rest of the websites that can be found are fraudulents sites that are advertising to have skydive centers, but do not offer a location, that's because the advertised place DOES NOT EXIST! Be careful when making your decision about purchasing a Skydiving gift certificate online. 1 800 skyride advertises to have a place in Clarksville, but this link may help if you are considering going there; http://www.wsmv.com/video/21343475/index.html
