chachi 0 #1 June 29, 2004 Hey all, As you may have read we started a little swoop club in our corner of Canada. I am so excited after just one week that I wanted to share. I think every drop zone with people interested in swooping should start something. We arrived early and set up a course consising of some entrance gates, about 25 ft wide and then three cones down the centre to measure distance and we put a ball on the top fo one of them. We stated the day by stretching and then talking about what we were going to do. We had people that had been swooping for a long time to people that had never swooped in their life come. We discussed beginner appraoches to safety ....etc. We planned on doing 3 rounds but it got cut short by talking to much and 22 tandems showing up and some of us having to work but this is what I learned. Accuracy, and swooping go hand in hand and mine needs work. In doing this, it showed me how little I actually put into landing exactly where I wanted to, yeah I am usaully end up where I want but sometimes my lane is off. I need work on that. Having video on your jumps, imperitive to learning. I am really excited about what some dedication to this is going to do to my skill level and it shows after just one weekend. I would really recommend this to everyone out there as it is fun and at the same time you will learn more if you dedicate part of your day to just one aspect and not leaving it as an after thought and thinking you will get better. ~Chachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
