ManBird 0 #2 June 10, 2003 I'll be observing. If they have a lameass class, I'll definitely compete. Edited to add: Yes, there will be $399 canopy skills course on Wednesday, July 9 at 1:00 pm."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 June 10, 2003 Troy Ketsdever has been a pro as long as I have. He, if not already doing so, will definitely coach you all you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diveout 0 #4 June 11, 2003 Stuart- If you cheat on Brian and I by getting canopy coaching from anyone other than us we'll hurt you. Brian and April will be qualifying and Will and I will be yelling at them making them chow. OK maybee talk to Jim Slaton. He's pretty good at that whole high-performance canopy coaching thing... I guess -he pretty much taught me. He'll likely be there again. Chuck is the guy to learn how to talk to much younger women from, (he also knows EVERYBODY that has ever jumped from a plane). He could probably help you slow down and dock in your spot on a 12- way so next time I don't have to hover for 9-12 seconds waiting to take my grips. Chuck you gonna be at Lost Prarie/ Rantoul?

He practices like few others. I've got some great vids of some of his recent landings. He had one imparticluar (that I did not film) that was probably one of the best swoops I'd ever seen in my life, as well as the others who witnessed it. Definitely doing some really impressive stuff, and should make for some good competition at the qualifiers. You gonna be there monkey?"¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManBird 0 #9 June 13, 2003 Correction. The skills camp is $199. I think they lowered the price, because the registration fee is now $149, and I wouldn't just arbitrarily pick $399."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 June 14, 2003 QuoteYou gonna be there monkey? No. That's just a qualifier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #11 June 14, 2003 Correction: I just read that this will be the US team qualifier instead of Rantoul. Very, very bad timing. I seriously doubt I will be able to get away from work. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
