You don't have to be anywhere near the ground to try this out, and in fact you shouldn't until you have a grip on any new technique. I also agree that there is no substitute for coaching, if you can get it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey man, not attacking you, notice I even stepped back and said even my shit stunk and that canopy coaching would be the best option Cheers and Blues Davehttp://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
