SkySlut 0 #1 April 27, 2004 Only 3 Slots Left!!!! Brian Germain, of Big Air Sportz will be here for a world class canopy control seminar. Brian is the maker of the "air locked" canopy, which revolutionized the world of parachutes. This course is a must do for anyone who wishes to know- how their parachute works, fly like the big dogs, and become a safer canopy pilot. The course is $ 100 for 2 days- SNE will cover his slots, lodging, transportation. What more can you ask for? A $50 registration is required to ensure your place in the class. Check out the calendar for more details, or call 1-800 UGO JUMP to sign up. As always, there will be a kickin' Mexican feast hosted by the Baked Bean. Post sunset celebration will include live tunes, piñata, bonfire and bueno's vibos! The Parachute and its Pilot A Seminar Series by Brian Germain The goal of the course is to promote safety. I try to hit as many topics as possible in the time allowed, which is why I try to do an entire weekend workshop now, rather than one evening talk. There is a lot to cover. The course primarily targets canopy skills and understanding as the primary subject matter, from the perspective of a parachute designer. I will, however, adapt the class to incorporate anything the hosts believe to be appropriate, as well as shaping the subject matter to fit each particular group of students. I also include information on the psychology of survival in high stress situations, a topic on which I have done a great amount of research. I can also include a copy of my new book: "The Parachute and its Pilot" for each of the participants. We often include jumping in the course, but it isn't necessary at all. The bulk of the learning is in the classroom, not the air. If we do go that route, I will provide specific jump objectives, as well as providing video debrief of landings. I strongly recommend having video of each participant's landing prior to the course. This will deepen the discussions, even if the weather does not work out for jumping. The course fee is $100 per student, and the DZ management or host arranges my transportation, as well as reasonable accommodations. This can include crashing at someone's house, or other cost-effective avenue. Minimum class size is 7 participants. There is no maximum number of students, although more than 20 participants should include a third day. I highly suggest booking well in advance of the planned date of the course, as the demand for this has become quite high worldwide. Emailing your jumpers with the course dates and details no less than one month before the course is essential. Looking forward to coming to your DZ!
