Background I have been freeflying for two years. I taught my self how to sit (no one to ask). My buddies and I sort of learned to fall straight down in a head down position...no training. anyway the past year I have made great progess on my own, gettin free help from better freefliers and occasionally paying for caoch jumps from the likes of (Mike Swanson and Rook Nelson and other famous people...maybe 10 jumps in all) I make an attempt to help newbies by giving them advice and making jumps (free) with low timers so that I can help them grow and not ignore them. I jump with one or two every weekend. Problem Our DZ has an instructor (not famous no AD ratings) who wants to start a freefly school. He has been telling me and the other 'good' freefliers not to jump with the newbies but send him his way. He accused me of taking his buisiness. He told me that I am not to discuss 'specific techniques ' with them. He never helped me and I pay my money to the DZ to jump just like everyone else. In fact he asked me If I want coaching and the sad truth is...he is not good enough to coach me (as in my money is better spent on someone who is reall really good). Many of the newbies can not afford his large fee and I want them to be good some day. RW does not have this problem? Even on dropzones where instructors offer RW coaching it is not as expensive as the "all mighty" freefly coaching...and typically you can get good RW jupers to take low timers on 4 way etc and teach them the ropes. What gives? Does anyone have an opinion on how I should react to this situation...It would behoove me to stay in this 'instructors' good grace for political reasons, but..I refuse to not give advice to low timers. Topsecret and really pissed
