Jim Slaton setting up a swoop course
“Serial Entrepreneur” Jim Slaton has added YET another web outlet to his already impressive list of websites, this time a Canopy Piloting TV Channel that promises to broadcast footage of swooping and high performance canopy flight.
In the event that you don’t already know who Jim Slaton is, you can learn more about him on his website, read his blog, read his OTHER blog, check out the Elite Flight Training website, his Blade Running website, the Pro Swooping Tour website, CanopyPiloting.com website, Swoop Week website or lastly the SwoopPark.com website. Oh yes, and then there is a blog for 2009 Swoop Week too.
I can’t rule out that I might have missed one or two (leave a link in the comments if you find more), but this is a good start. 10 websites and one TV channel. Jim, seriously, we can’t keep up with all of them, how about doing a “one website to rule them all” kind of thing?
All kidding aside, Slaton might be a prolific website creator, but the guy has worked hard to promote canopy piloting and along with a few other pioneers was instrumental getting the discipline recognize as a competitive one. So for those of you that are into swooping, be sure to check some of those out.
The only entity that has more websites than Jim, is Skyride – at least they offer some sort of useful service though.
Unfortunately Jim has done so much damage to the world of swooping (by essentially burning every dropzone/dzo he gets involved with) in the last few years that it has long since shadowed any accomplishments, or progress he’s helped the discipline have.
Maybe next time we’ll be lucky enough that he won’t have to come out of the woodwork to finance his next wife’s plastic surgery, and he’ll stay ‘retired’.
ouch.
Yowch.
love you comment, dude…and for sure Jim would love it either, good PR trick!
DOH!!!!
