billvon 2,998 #26 January 13, 2002 >HUH??? Is this belly flying....which is a bit like the Special Olympics of >Skydiving......Is it a 50 jump min or 50 score on the IQ.......You know, when I was learning to skydive, what is now called freeflying was just called being unstable. The worst students we had seemed to have this "freeflying" thing down pat. Gotta hand it to the sport of skydiving, take a student problem and turn it into a discipline . . . Making lemonade with lemons, that's what it's all about.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #35 January 16, 2002 Hee hee! Well as it turns out, I didn't lose much in the way of flying skills over my time stuck on the ground... I still got it!I also figured out today part of what I'm doing with my tax refund this year - part of it is paying for four days of big ways in Eloy in May. Wooo hooo! I have a lot of jumpin' to do between now and October and lots of those jumps need to be larger RW dives cuz I AM gonna be a world record holder! pull and flare,lisa-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I could do both days but they're asking for full day commitments and my kid will be jumpin' Sunday... would really suck to be on a big way and miss his jump.pull and flare,lisa-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
