Not that way anymore. We're at the beginning of the pack on the runs and do every bit of PT the males do. If you fall out, you're out of the school. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

10 years down the road in '02, it sure wasn't a cakewalk in my opinion... but I'm a weenie And Colon bro you're kicking some major ass! Congrats on your new venture, your PT scores are quite impressive. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Clint, Seriously, see this guy: http://www.sandersclinic.net He did my 2nd shoulder surgery two weeks ago and its 200% better this time around compared to my first. I can't imagine letting anyone touch my shoulder after Dr. Sanders' procedure. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Awesome! Tab's so cute

It is, I agree for the same reasons you mentioned. What some folks don't realize now is this is just the beginning of the 'leveling evolution.' Everyone is still competing in the same field regardless of body weight, but this will probably change as more swoopers become involved in the circuit. Oh yeah, vdschoor and marks, take me snowboarding with ya'll... I still have one good arm

I haven't tried the game yet, but its obviously entertaining from the hours of techno music I heard from the other room last night That was enjoyable enough for me hehe. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Sounds cool, I have yet to pack an Icon. I'm wondering how it's 'neater.' Does it have stow separator tabs or something? Pics anyone? _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

I agree. After all, the standard tailpocket designed for stowing lines in a BASE rig has only a single locking stow. We don't hear of a bunch of BASE jumpers whining about "line dump" and how they're getting whacked all the time. Its basically non-existant if properly stowed. The freebag is the same concept. Jump Shack should leave well enough alone. The rubber bands are much more hassle than help. May I request a more elaborate explanation? _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

I got Pat Green on my mind today. Threadbare Gypsy Soul: Got myself a threadbare gypsy soul, Like to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows. Got a little threadbare gypsy soul, Got a little threadbare gypsy soul. Got a little wild streak in my heart. I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start. I got a little wild streak in my heart, I got a little threadbare gypsy soul. I like to hear the highway sounds, And I don’t think that I’ll ever settle down. I can’t change and it’s a sin, Hope St. Peter gonna let me in: Come on, Pete, won’t you let me in? I wear this cowboy hat upon my head, And you can take it off me some time after I am dead. Got a cowboy hat up on my head, Got a little threadbare gypsy soul. 3 Days: Wake up, what you been dreaming about I ain't got a lot to say, but I could talk to you for hours The way you talk, the way that you breathe The way that your spirit moves into me Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up I got three days to wash the road out of my soul I got three days to love you out of control And I wish I had a lifetime to hold onto this way Love can do some healing in just three days Southbound 35: I'm tired of staring at this ocean full of Heineken drinkin Yankees, and I'd rather be in Texas on my own. So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road, hit the border by the morning, let Texas fill my soul, yeah let Texas fill my soul. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Jim, Heal asap! I am typing one handed myself, got that shoulder taken care of Thanks for all you do, see you at the end of the recovery tunnel! Brittany _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

You deserve it girl Have the time of your life as I know you will! _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Congrats

Wrong answer. Don't mean to sound rude, but thats a very ignorant statement. You can study and learn all you want on your own, but as of now there's no substitute for professional canopy coaching. I believe anyone who's invested time and money into a good coach will agree. I believe the "why's" have already been stated by previous posters, but if I need to list some I will. Here's a personal example. I started 'swooping' or trying to as a young pilot. I lived, I learned, and did all I could in absorbing knowledge on my own. Enough to the point where I was flying a very high performance wing with less than 1000 jumps. I finally decide to go to a swoop camp. My first jump I thought I had it dialed... lovely 270, hit the rear risers in for (what I thought) a killer swoop through the gates. I was wrong. I frapped in the water hard. I could not have told myself why except for I guess I was too low. Well yes I was as little low, but there were other factors involved. Without Slaton standing right there and telling me exactly where I went wrong, I could not have done such an in depth analysis. Now I know how and why it happened and I am much less suseptible to making the same mistake. Now... could a manual or dvd have told me that? No. I learned more that weekend sitting on the ground at the swoop camp than I ever had reading material. Lets face it, I know the standard guidelines for many situations but only a coach who has the proper experience and knowledge can help the aspiring swooper by guiding him according to his current performance, future goals, and needs. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com
