laughn_gas 0 #1 December 2, 2006 Winter is here with lots of ice and snow up north in Chicago. I'm on my level 6 and will continue in the Spring. I would like to use this time off to learn as much as I possibly can, so..... What material would be helpful to study for the winter months? I have read the Skydivers Handbook. Any good dvd's out there to get my fix in, on those cold sunny days? Thanks for your suggestions. DanSee ya in a minute. Peace out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
