danwayland 0 #1 April 23, 2008 Hello Freefliers - I have updated the Freefly Coaching Trapper Keeper. It includes a Keep_At_Manfiest.doc that is good to have printed out at Manifest for reference. Take a look if you're interested, you can download it from here: http://danwayland.com/printable.htm I hope some of you like it, print it out, and find it helpful. enjoy,-- Dan Wayland http://www.danwayland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danwayland 0 #5 April 25, 2008 Glad you like it! I'm trying to fill a void that I believe exists. There's a large group of people who make between 100 and 300 jumps a year who love freeflying, but simply can't afford (time or money) to do a lot of coaching and tunnel time (although I repeatedly state that, given the means, that's the best way to learn). These people are weekend warriors like me. Due to other things going on with career or family, they do not see themselves becoming full time freefliers or tunnel rats. But they love learning, they love teaching, and they want to be a part of the freefly community. Mainly - they want to be the best that they can be given the balance that they've struck in life. That's me to a T. And I think even though we all see more of the full timers (and look up to them for their remarkable skill), I believe that categorization represents the majority of freefliers out there. That's why God made Taihiko. An organized structure for us to learn as well as contribute to the freefly community. peace out yo, Dan-- Dan Wayland http://www.danwayland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #7 April 28, 2008 Great info, thanks for posting this. The dive pools will be really helpful in the "what do you want to do"...."I dunno, what do you want to do" conversations that usually happen between my friends and me.

SuperGirl 0 #8 April 28, 2008 awesome info! you're my new hero :) I'll see you at Orange sometime... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danwayland 0 #9 April 28, 2008 Exactly! I have a box with little pieces of paper with the points from the Taihiko Tournament dive pools on each one so that you can actually draw your 3 - 5 point two way dive at random. For 3 ways I also sometimes reference the VRW 4 way pool and just subtract somebody. Anything larger than 4 doesn't come up much due to the general freefly skill level in Virginia.-- Dan Wayland http://www.danwayland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hparrish 0 #10 April 29, 2008 You need to hop in the car with Nancy and come down to Jive Jam then. We definatley build 4 Ways and up. Try to make it down to Raford on the 24-25 of May. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danwayland 0 #11 April 29, 2008 I hear ya! I have a lot of balls in the air right now, and I swear if I didn't I would be there. You guys are always great about inviting / encouraging me to come down for these jive jams, and I really, really appreciate that.-- Dan Wayland http://www.danwayland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hparrish 0 #12 April 29, 2008 Yeah I know schedules and Family makes it tough. But try to make it down for one of them this year, We'd love to have more of the Orange Crew, not that Nancy coming aint great. But some more of the crew would be awesome. But more on topic...................The Website and Manual are Great Dan. I know you've been doing allot of good things centered around Freeflying and instruction for several years now. A lot of folks cash it in after a season or two but you have remained dedicated now for years. Keep up the good work, I'll fwd your website to our local up and comers for sure.
