lyndsayc 0 #1 September 5, 2002 Rahlmo's Canopy Skool is in session September 14, limited to eight students. Overflow registration may be scheduled as early as September 21. The Skool is fun and run by Kevin Gibson and Jason Eames. Kevin is a canopy flight author and Jason is a swoop competitor just off the circuit. Both are USPA-rated. This will be the third session of the Skool. So far, everyone has been very happy with their results, which come with a money-back guarantee (less the price of the jump tickets). Class starts promptly at 8:00 with registration, orientation, and goal setting. Each student makes a skills-evaluation jump, followed by a video review with the entire class. Jason and Kevin present a lesson between each of the four jumps thereafter (five jumps total). The class costs $250, which includes the jumps, the course booklet, and a completion certificate (mailed later). In addition, you may repeat the classroom portion any time for free and get additional coached jumps for a reasonable rate (scheduled individually with the coaches). This course also qualifies you for more advanced classes after you practice these basic skills. Topics include how to get softer and more accurate landings, flight planning, group descent strategies, control familiarization, flight theory and application, equipment analysis, packing tips, spotting, tracking, defensive flying, and more. If you're a little afraid of your canopy, want to improve your landings, want to begin exploring performance flight, or simply want to improve your current skills and confidence, this is a good way to do it. To register, arrange to get a $50 deposit to Kevin (rahlmo@yahoo.com) or Jason (eeemz@yahoo.com) and the dates you're available from September through October.
