Squeak 17 #2 November 17, 2003 there is a ppt on John Kallends website I think, Ask him?You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #3 November 17, 2003 What's the purpose of the presentation? I mean, just about skydiving in general, or making your first jump, or what? I have one about making a first jump but it's very much tailored to the needs of one specific club. It would take a bit of editing. If you're looking for something more general, can't help ya.

Chapsta 0 #4 November 17, 2003 I did one six months ago for a speech class here at TXstate. I'm looking for it. It's pretty general... just explains skydiving from a jumpers point of view and talks about common misconceptions. I'll PM you if I find it.

falxori 0 #5 November 17, 2003 thank you all :-) thats pretty much what i need. just explaining about the sport, how its done and why do i often get caught staring out the window with tears in my eays if you find anything, email or PM me, and next time i'm in the area, beer on me O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

lewmonst 0 #6 November 18, 2003 i made one to show middle schoolers, if you have an ftp site, I'll drop it on there. it's pretty basic, just text and photos, something to talk from. i also showed video when i did it... but that's not in the powerpoint. you can also go to Elsinore's webpage, there's a good animation for first time jumpers of tandem and aff, and then you could show some video as well bring your gear in to talk about peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
