AggieDave 6 #2 April 1, 2003 Hey, is there more then an "open class" for the swoop comp at the Gravity Rats FF Festival? I might hold my own in an intermediate, but would be absolutely handed my ass otherwise. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

airann 1 #3 April 1, 2003 Damn Levin- Looks like Skydive Houston's calandar is booked with cool stuff to do for freeflyers this summer. Dang.... Dude- for next year (this is a must) first weekend in April is Flea's birthday (& other important people). A Casa will be fine. It looks like you could fit in a few more seriously skilled freeflyers in May. Maybe you can work on that in your spare time. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Levin 0 #6 April 1, 2003 QuoteHey Levin, is that a typo? If not can you provide a few more details on what all is included? hey ted, no it's not a typo. what you get is 3 days and 22 jumps in a training camp with Max Cohn. these 22 jumps will include one on one coaching and group coaching (air and ground) in which ever body position a particpant wants to learn. there will be 3 to 5 coaches including Max for a possible ratio of one coach to two participants. I'm am pretty ceratin i will have 5 coaches. these coaches including Max Cohn will only be available to the participants in the training camp. so basically you get 22 coach jumps in 3 days in a structured learning environment with an excellent ratio of coaches to jumpers. so far anyone who wants to make maximum progression in their flying skills in one weekend, this is not only affordable, but it's a damn good deal. levin, vSCR#17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you can work on that in your spare time hey ann, i think i get the jest of what you are saying. not enough stuff planned for the average freeflyer. i'll see what i can do about that. however there is the gravity rats festival which is not just for the adavanced flyer. and there is also the training camp with Max Cohn. the training camp is for the average jumper who wants to get much much better in one weekend. levin vSCS#3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #8 April 2, 2003 No, I just figured since you don't have enough stuff to do....... sarcazim .... You could slide in a Casa this weekend for FleaFlyer, Zennie, Dan & my annual celebration of April birth certificates. However, you do raise a point that persons might like. Not me, I am scared of super stars. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
