Luminous 0 #1 November 7, 2005 As an instructor for 8 yrs, I constantly sometimes wonder how a person can NOT GET what I've been telling them for the last x number of jumps. And then I love it when they finally go 'Click'. Well, Bless MoonGlo's heart for her patience, but I believe I finally 'Clicked' Saturday. Hey, that leg wing shouldn't be flopping around like that, use it to help de-arch! Saaaaaayy, that makes a difference in the forward speed. Now let's see if I can retain it. Cheers.

Tonto 1 #2 November 7, 2005 I think one of the toughest things about being an instructor is remembering what it was like to be a student. We should be constantly challenging ourselves to leave our comfort zones and learn new things. Nothing prepares us to work with students more. Glad you "clicked!" Enjoy! tIt's the year of the Pig.

The111 1 #3 November 7, 2005 Congrats... I've also found (this is stating the obvious but still worth saying) that understanding how to do something is not the same as doing it. I've been trying to find the right backflying position for several weeks now (even though I already knew what it was, I couldn't make my body do it yet) and I finally figured it out the other day as I popped up ABOVE the flock I was filming from underneath whereas I usually fall away... A "click" is one of the coolest feelings in skydiving. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
