piisfish 140 #2 February 19, 2004 Yeah, I did mine started last easter and finished in july with Reinier. Very instructive. I understand some things much better now.

richclive 0 #3 February 19, 2004 Some things much better now? Like what, old boy? And is there anything you need to do before going on the course? PS I'm NOT shaving my legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #4 February 19, 2004 how and why the canopy flies, front riser turns (for landing), flying with risers for traffic, etc etc... maybe the only con I would say is he didn't teach us too much on low speed approaches, flat turns etc... This is something quite natural for me, but many people don't do that kind of stuff. I was lucky I had to split the course due to weather, so I got like 50 jumps more practising my exercises before going to next step (1st time I was on straight in front risers final, and then finished on 90 degrees)scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
