Sit fly fun jump!

[realwildone2 0]

I just wanted to thank Omar at SkyAZ for taking the time out of his own jumping schedule to jump with a few "lesser" experienced freeflyers and giving a few pointers on controlling fall rates with different weight and sized individuals. It was a lot of fun and it is not often that you get an opportunity to interface with one of the best. He is a very personable individual and doesn't look "down" on folks who are wanting to learn. Also thanks to Jeremy too! My usual jumping buddies were stoked. ]

Yeah, Omar's real good about that... I remember when I was just learning to sit, I had maybe 50 jumps or so. I was up at manifest in Eloy getting on another solo to work on my sit. Omar comes up to me and asks me what I'm doing, I tell him, he says "well, mind if a few of us join you?". I told him I sucked, so he said not to worry about it and that he'd hang on to me so I couldn't cork. Anyway, it turned out that almost all the bad-asses at Eloy were on that jump. And it was fun as hell! That was a good day.

Oh, hello again!

Hey Trent, question- was he behind you when he was holding on to you? I've always wondered what would be the best way to "take someone out for a sit jump" like you would hold onto someone when "taking them headdown" : )

Cheers!

Glen,

He leg-locked me so that we were faced off. That way he could keep my feet down and counter any spin with his arms and torso.

*sigh* seems like it was so long ago.....

Oh, hello again!
