andyc 0 #1 September 14, 2002 Hi its my first time posting, anyway Im off to california in a few months doing my AFF,IC1,FS1. Im staying out there for a while so i just wondered if anyone can reccomend somewhere either in california or florida where I can go to get some Freefly training once I have finished my course. I might as well take advantage of the good weather before heading back to the UK and get some good solid skills together. Thanks everyone andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 September 14, 2002 I hope you plan on doing lots of jumps. The average "rule of thumb" is no freeflying until you have 50-100 jumps. Differen't people have differen't ideas on that. I personally feel you need at LEAST 50. 100 would be better. Here's a good link. All it says is that you need an A License to enroll. www.skydiveperris.com/cfreefly.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifallout 0 #3 September 14, 2002 Perris Valley Skydiving rocks, I am sure that you can find pretty much any kind of training you want there, it is a big DZ (#2 in the country). There is another DZ right by there Elsinore, it is pretty cool as well. Or do you want names of specific people there? http://www.skydiveperris.com I am pretty sure is their home page and it should lead you where you want to be... have fun, let me know if you need more specifics. Bill have fun, love life, be nice to the humans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drenaline 0 #4 September 15, 2002 Hey Clay I think that in Argentina there are DZ that only do freeflying, only do RW the first 10 or sumthing jumps to get the license after that its all freefly. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #5 September 15, 2002 Quoteonly do RW the first 10 or sumthing jumps to get the license after that its all freefly. I didn't say people don't do it. I just think that they should wait a little and have some decent belly skills first. At 10 jumps you don't have SHIT for belly skills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #6 September 15, 2002 I agree, you should be a solid belly flyer before taking up freeflying, you should at least be able to turn a 4 point 4 way. It's all about awareness. QuoteI just think that they should wait a little and good some decent belly skills first. At 10 jumps you don't have SHIT for belly skills. At 10 jumps you don't have SHIT for ANY skills, no awareness or skills makes freeflying extremely dangerous. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
