happythoughts 0 #1 June 17, 2004 Attend as many seminars as possible. Usually they are around 7pm and last an hour. You can attend them and still do the entertainment stuff with no conflicts. You can learn stuff before you encounter it in the air. It makes more sense when you avoid problems rather than merely learning to resolve them. This is especially true for a sport where the problems will f-up your health record. It also help in skills advancement. It is better to have someone with 8000 jumps teach you something rather than doing 500 jumps incorrectly and then learning it. You also get to meet some amazing people.

A person can be aware of possible skills problems and establish a plan to learn the skills properly. This puts them miles ahead of the person who stumbles through it. Think of how much better the skydives were. Doing stuff right is more fun too.
