TALONSKY 0 #1 July 15, 2002 I just thought I would take a minute and say how great the Perris Evolution canopy flight school is and Jim Slaton. This last weekend my home DZ had Jim come up and teach a condensed version of the Evolution canopy school. It really did not matter what level of canopy pilot we were he was able to help us all out. It seemed that few pilots that just did straight end approach’s got a lot of help and in general everyone involved learned a lot. A few local canopy swoopers that are starting to compete also got a lot of useful help. Most of us found that our brakes were not set right. So if you have the chance it would be time and money well spent to attend Perris Evolution canopy flight school. Blue Skies Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflycracker 0 #3 July 15, 2002 By any chance would you know what it took to get him to the DZ. Ive really been wanting to get out to Perris and get some coaching, BUT, blah blah blah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoby 0 #4 July 15, 2002 I've been planning on going to the school since I read about it in Parachutist a few months ago (I don't know of the article was recent, but I read it then). I'm really excited to learn about canopy skills in a structured way, instead of figuring them out on my on. Anyway, the only obstacle was getting my A license, and I completed the card yesterday. My friend and I intend to head out to Perris in a couple of weeks! I can't wait! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #5 July 15, 2002 I really do not know the total cost was, but it broke down to $50 per day to have him evaluate your jumps and debrief our landings on video. This also included a two hour condensed class from the 6 hour class. I believe there was about 20 of us and probably 10 that had evaluations all 3 days Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #6 July 15, 2002 Travel, lodging, and a set fee per day is the usual deal (maybe some other stuff too)... its something that needs DZ support (ie a jumper could not just set it up unless they were Mr. Moneybags)... Jim can provide a seminar proposal to the DZ if asked... you can find his contact info @ www.para-performance.com Anyone been swooping good 'ole Lake Vandalia?
