Julie 0 #1 July 30, 2001 Hi all,Does anyone have any recommendations on videos? A friend has suggested one from Skydive U. on canopy flying and landing (which I REALLY need...still have only one landing on my feet and they are getting worse!). Some of them I have seen online are so expensive, I hate to spend the money if they aren't really going to teach me anything or are way over my head. I just got off the static line (YEAH!) and only have two jumps on my own (total of 7 jumps plus 2 tandem). Gotta keep it simple for me :) I need something to look at when I can't get to the DZ!THANKSHave FunJulie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #2 July 30, 2001 There are quite a few articles on canopy flight available right here on Dropzone.com http://www.dropzone.com/safety/articles/Not as pretty as a video, but it's free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #3 July 30, 2001 I have the Basic Canopy Flight video from Skydive U. Actually, the video isn't that great, pretty dry and doesn't really help all that much, but the book and exercises that come along with it are great. It's set up in a series of modules, and you perform the exercises for each on a few jumps before moving on. It's helped me a lot.cielos azules y cerveza fría-Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drosenberg 0 #4 July 31, 2001 I have the skydive u video and its nice, not great but nice.A second video I have and I believe is a MUST is Break-Away, I think it really contributes to our safety and understanding of different malfunctions, it costs around $20.Blue skies and safe landings,DavidSee my photos and video Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff 0 #5 August 1, 2001 I thought Fly like a Pro was very good. I didn't like Break-Away so much - all the footage of mals was good, but some of the students were shown doing their reserve drills far too slowly for my liking.geoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
