  14. Richards, IMO, you are giving an unfair generalization to the *type* of female 'students with breasts'. Some students need to be bottle fed and there will always be somebody there willing to hold that bottle. So sure, this scenario does exist in some situations. However, not all females students respond to this type of instruction/coaching. There are many of us women out there who are of the independent type that responds better to minimal instruction. I was/am one of these students. In my first log book, learning to sit fly, I have 300+ solos logged. I was given a task. Once I felt I completed that task, a friend would come out and video and move on to the next pointers. Then solo, solo, and more solos.The goal was for me to be stable, have controlled flips, transitions, fallrate, etc. down *before*getting on that 10-way you speak of, as base. This is sounding too gender based. In my experience, I've seen more people, (men or women) get better quality coaching, by simply showing a love for the sport, and a willingness to learn- not to mention dedication. Long story short- I think an individuals (male or female) motives should be/ and is looked at and treated as such. Not all female students' coaching progression has been the way you explained. I hope you were speaking in jest.
  15. Hi ZigZag, Sounds like something to consider. However, I don't have chest rings on any of my rigs - Only Hip rings.
  16. I have long legs and a short torso. On my (custom)rigs, there is only room for my chest strap and handles- which leaves my chest strap placement across my breasts. I wear w/e I'm wearing at the time. No special treatment w/ "smooshing" and the like. Haven't had a problem and I actually prefer it over the 'under-the-breast' placement. Hard openings come to mind. I don't consider it a problem. YMMV
