    Yes, at the beginning of each new season I'll take about 10 coachjumps to refresh, to take out possible bad habits developed in previous season and to improve.

    FF is fun as hell... but if you don't learn some belly, you cut yourself out of a lot of cool-ass jumps. and ya know? I hate to see that... I hate to see that too. Why should you cut yourself out? "Free"flying isn't restricted to fast flying. Just go with 'm and fly on your back. Make a simple plan; they'll love to see you upside down (at least to their perception) and dock on you. It's all about wanting to share airtime to make a "cool-ass jump" wich fits and combines everyone's skills. To my opinion you don't have to do traditional RW jumps before FF. If you have the opportunity ( or your home DZ is a tandem factory) play with tandems on your back & belly to practice slow flying. (besides the practice these are cool-ass jumps as well) Off course the TM must feel safe with you. All the stuff from fast flying can be done in slow mode: eagles, carving, transitions back to belly etc.

    Micron

    FfChArLeS reviewed admin's gear in Containers

    I've been jumping my V-308 for over a year now and still every time I pack, I really enjoy the attention for detail Bil Booth and his team have put into the design and manufacturing of this rig. I've chosen for a pull out opening system on this one for safety reasons (freeflying and premature openings. If you're orientating on a new rig you should take a look at a micron or a vector 3. Of course there are cheaper rigs on the market and they will bring you down safely. Just remember that most a lot of modern rig design originates at the RWS: 3 rings, hand deployed pilot chutes, velcro less riser and pin covers. Latest RWS inventions are anti twist lock hard cutaway cable covers on the risers and very neat velcro less toggles. This indicates that RWS really thinks over design before they manufacture. On top of that their products are manufactured really neatly. So if you're buying this container you know for sure that it is good. For me it performs good, feels very comfortable and also looks good.
