I don't believe a speed record was awarded. In fact was it even John? I seem to remember something about Scott Roberts coming in real fast. Of course I could be mistaken, maybe it was John? John, Scott, Jay, Shimell ... shit they all came in ultra fast. Yeah but it doesn't count for Shimell....he was totaly out of control....... Wait for it..... whatever. i seem out of controll to you, but I know what im doing.... thats all that matters. -
Maybe twice. Now if they are being unreasonable, we just wait longer and let the tandems bitch at them when they get to the ground. Because the tandems understand why the RW have to wait, so the delay is the FFers fault. The worst excuses have to do with who has what canopies decides who gets out first. Like that will avoid collisions due to "freefall" drift. Ever hear those? some are just precious. I hate that excuse, It just shows ignorance. If freeflyers leave the plane 10 seconds after belly fliers from 14000 ft. they will still deploy before you.

If you ever go big with a superman, you better have a cup. that shit hurts. -
yes, under the full supervision of a professional canopy coach and or an aff instructor. reason for it, because you want it to scare the hell out of them so they DON'T do it. and so they understand what happens when they do. then you teach them to fly it right at that point. it gives them a great feel for the canopy and a better understanding on how it works and doesn't work. don't get me wrong, you wont ever see me stall my canopy, I HATE it with a passion. it scares the hell out of me, but I also have the experience to be able to push it to that edge and even fly it there if I have to. I also, like to have students do very hard toggle whips up high, WHY? this might sound weird, but it is a great training tool and it will keep the kids from dying. I like them to do extremely hard toggle whips for 2 reasons. 1. so they have an understanding of the dive. and 2. "this is the scary one" so they might even possibly get into line twist, and scare the shit out of themselves. because if they do it low, they could die. I really only use that one for "that guy" just to slow them down a bit.

Andy, you expressed interest with me in taking a weekend and getting canopy control coaching. I will have you know, the first jump I have you do is about spotting, after a spotting class. then the second jump is a full on all out stall of your canopy. then the third jump is all about flying and turning the canopy at its stall point without letting it stall.

that's biporal disorder or manic depressive. almost all the same symptoms with some extra's depakote and concerta work great in a low dose mixture.
-
then you dont. it is very very obvious that somone has it if they are to the point they need meds.
-
danny is away right now. serving the country. I would totally use him also. got his number to if you need it.
-
thats not ADD or ADHD, that is bipolar disorder. you would be surprised how much these types of Genius kids feed off of others energy. It isn't the drugs, It is lack of interest. "boredom"
-
hmmm, what should I say about that!!! ...naaaaa... Im going to leave it.... DUDE. Icarus has a 30 day money back guarantee just ask for your money back, or hell. sacrifice performance for customer service.

I would use either one of them. mike grewell or joe bennett. If you want phone numbers to either, P.m. me.
-
they are bored. give them something to focus on. adrenaline is the best cure..

did he? I thought all his speed runs were clean. I went out of the speed course. oops! -
you can get really really good at something if you do it over and over and over, even if it is "the wrong way".
-
