Rdutch 0 #1 January 26, 2004 Yesterday I did a 4way jump, and rocked it, had a lot of fun. The only thing was everyone on the Dz had to ask me what the fuck I was doing with grippers, and when I was creeping I got interupted 10 times by people asking me what I was doing. Do we all get steriotyped, I can say I am a freeflyer/swooper but I do have 2000 4way video jumps, and now that I have done some 4way I understand how hard it is, (especially engineering) but how much fun it is. So yeah I've gone to the light side, I haven't left the Dark side but why limit yourself. Skydiving is fun and its all a challenge, I think everyone should learn to fly belly and freefly. Its all challenging and if you refuse to try other things then the only one your cheating is yourself. I did surprise my old teammate who freaked when I asked him to do a 4way jump, and he really was surprised to see I can turn in place and did real well, I thank him for organizing and engineering the dive and I learned a lot, Im looking forward to doing many more 4way dives this year. So all you out there that dont know, try it, 4way is a lot of fun, and definitely a worthy challenge. Dont limit yourself to just headdown you will thank me later if you try it.

vdschoor 0 #3 January 26, 2004 Welcome to the light side Ray! With me it's other way around, I am really into RW (not just 4way) but I like freeflying as well, although I don't do it enough to be really good at it.. Iwan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #5 January 26, 2004 The 'Dark Side' is still CrW. Welcome, to the Jack of All Trades crowd. Of course now you have to jump more to stay current in all of it. ...

Skyrad 0 #6 January 26, 2004 Cool, I did my FS1 the other day with Rob Stevenson (XL) Ian Brown and Dave Brown! Even the best turn to the light side occasionaly! Turned 12 points and had a blast.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

happythoughts 0 #9 January 26, 2004 Eventually freeflyers will learn to fly stable and then 4-way is the natural progression. Fun ain't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
