AggieDave 6 #26 July 18, 2006 Quote What ever the number doesn't matter. Right now it seems that unless you are at Deland or one of the DZs that Scott travels to, you're out of luck. All you've got to do is get a group together at your DZ then call Scott and schedule him to come through for a course. Its really that easy.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 1 #27 July 18, 2006 QuoteHave an experienced person on the ground with a video camera who will monitor the jump, pattern, and landing and will spend the time talking about what went right, and what could be done better. I completely agree. I just don't think that someone with 100 jumps has the analytical skills to correctly break down and analyse what someone else is doing in a pattern and on landing. At least, I've never met someone with 100 jumps that I'd want coaching someone else. They probably do exist, but I'd just like the bar that tiny bit higher. I have however, met plenty that have been around just a little longer and have developed those skills. QuoteThere is already a complete canopy course available right on these pages ... Great stuff. Heck, just printing those out and handing them to the kid just off AFF would be a great start. Agreed. Completely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean that one: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=536 ? Or could you send a link to that canopy course you write about?

Meux 0 #31 July 19, 2006 Yes, at the bottom of that article are links to several other articles. Just reading through those articles and doing some of that stuff on your own is practically an essential skills class all by itself. MH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
