Skydive West Virginia recently opened up and they want to know:

This month’s Skydive Radio got us debating the classic DZ debate: Should dogs be allowed on the drop zone?

From the Camden Macarthur Chronicle:

Dad Russell Brown, an instructor at the skydive centre, said his daughter had been “bugging” him for ages to do a jump.

“She basically comes to work with me; I knew she had the maturity and understanding to know what she was doing,” he said.

Our last lame poll wasn’t really a poll at all. It was a lame attempt to get you to take our lame Facebook quiz and come back and report the lame result. Here is a real, honest-to-goodness, not lame poll to find out what you do with your hard-earned jump tickets. Pick up to 3 answers.

Should we be trying to grow our sport and actively recruit more jumpers, or is skydiving good at current numbers (about 31,000-ish in the U.S., according to USPA)? Should there ever be 100,000 skydivers running around?

Please share your reasons why we should or should not be trying to grow our ranks.
