  1. I'm hoping to go BM next year. I talked to an Instructor at my DZ about it and he mentioned that he is having a lot of agro with his shoulder due to a rotator cup injury. He says that the arm position during flight is awkward as you have to push down with your arms rotated such that the backs of your hands are to earth. I also have a similar injury from ten years ago which has started giving me some trouble recently (getting old / crappy cold British climate). Is there anything that I can concentrate on when starting out which will help? I am pretty athletic but struggle with some excercises that work the shoulder in this direction. My Instructor also talked about the Matter suit and thinks that this requires the more natural arm position i.e. Palms to earth.??
  2. Chris and Co. are a breed apart. This sport gives you back what you put into it and I am lucky that not only have I found something that I love doing, but also some exceptional freinds to do it with.
