Zennie 0 #1 September 26, 2001 I'm cross-posting this from the S&T forum because I really would like to hear some thoughts on this and many of you hang here primarily....---------I've kind of reached a point where I've decided that I like RW & freefly both too much to give either one up, so I'm pretty much committed to both. I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll progress slower in both than others with similar jump numbers who devote most of their time to one or the other discipline. I'm OK with that.Here's my dilemma. Does anyone have any suggestions for the optimal way to "cross-train"? By that I mean, say I do between 4-6 jumps in a weekend. Would it be better to devote all of my jumps in one weekend to one style and alternate weekends (i.e. one wekend is "RW weekend" and the next is "freefly weekend")? Or would it be more productive to split my jumps 1/2 and 1/2 each weekend?I'm sure other "cross train" sports, such as track & field, have worked out strategies for scheduling your training to optimize improvement across disciplines.

RemiAndKaren 0 #2 September 26, 2001 I think I know why you're not getting many answers: x-training for skydivers is more like alternating hard alcohol between beers....RemiMuff 914 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #3 September 26, 2001 I tried that... It wasnt easy. I gave up on 'straight' RW and went to vRW after about 20 jumps total. I think the more experience you have ... well, the more experience you have!There is this big thing that FreeFlyers cant do RW at all. They can. We just dont very often... except at pull time. We go to RW stable to slow down, double check our airspace, track & pull. Especially important on BigWays.Skydive~Friends~HappinessAirAnnwww.AirAnn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
