fedykin 0 #1 July 6, 2002 Im really curious what everyones opinion is on what the best method of aquring precise flying skills is... ie drill dives like hell ie. alternating 360's holding slots etc.. or jumping with a ball as soon as you can safely retrive it so u know exactly where you are moving relatively speaking.

PhreeZone 20 #2 July 6, 2002 Clearly ball jumps have the most danger. Even the best ball masters sometimes have issues getting to the ball and if your not up to thier skill level there is a good chance you'll lose it. Drill dives with someone that knows what they are doing is the perfered method at my DZ.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirils 1 #3 July 7, 2002 OK, since you are talkin' about spaceballs... I've seen them made from tennis balls, but how exactly does one go about making one.? Thanks! /"Slow down! You are too young to be moving that fast!" Old Man Crawfish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #5 July 8, 2002 Don't worry about skyballs!! You fly with those AFTER you already have the skills and just want to do something cool. Two way drill dives are the way to go. In 6 or 8 jumps with Andre I have gone from hardly being able to dock HD to doing transitions and eagles with docs in between. Thats the best way to learn.
