danwayland 0 #1 April 29, 2008 This same basic thing is posted on the freefly forums, and if posting the same thing to two categories is frowned upon, then I apologize unreservedly (I just don't know). I have a little Freefly Coaching Trapper Keeper that you might like to print out and keep behind manifest to help answer all those frequently asked beginning to freefly questions. http://danwayland.com/printable.htm and clicky http://danwayland.com/printable.htm I hope you like it, use it, and that it helps. peace out yo, Dan-- Dan Wayland http://www.danwayland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #2 April 29, 2008 I think that is a really cool thing to do, but sadly I think all the newbies are going to do what they want, because they are "entitled too"... I was in the box manifesting this weekend when I had a solo jumper, new to the sport, and far from current tell me that he was going to go on a freefly head down jump... at 50 some jumps. After I explained all of the safety reasons why he should consider another jump, tracking down jump run, etc etc I got a great response... "Well so and so already taken me on a few jumps and showed me how to do it". Well shit then bro, don't let me hold you back, let me know when you are ready to start teaching freefly coaching classes. Forget walking before you can crawl, when you can skip right to sprinting. Next time he simply won't tell me what he is going to be doing when he manifests.

DougH 270 #6 May 1, 2008 Quotenot worth the trouble! Don't hold back... it wouldn't be fair to deny all the wisdom you were going to share with us."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
