    Without knowing the facts about this guy I will say this.His first 2 jumps should be alone and pulling high(5,000 or higher).Simple test pilot cks of front and back 360 risor turns and the alti lost.Serious on heading into the wind turns.Stall ck,brake 360 turns and stop above 2,500.Can play if spot is good down to 1,000 ft.Begin final landing pattern set up and "No" mistakes.(hook turns,radical toggle turns at or below 100ft.) You most land directly into the wind and have a safe landing before you can go jump this neat new toy again.

    Wish I could go to Mardi Gras boogie this year.Been a long time since I really had a good time.Think it was the 2 Mardi Gras boogies in Covington.Damn,that was 12 and 13 yrs ago!Better do something about this lack of boggie fun!(lol)

    Thanks for the input everyone.Some more thoughts,As usual I expect USPA to do it's best to research the subject.You can also bet that some of brians writing,jim slaton and Mr. miller(course study outlines)will construct the bulk of this class.Some simple weather and wind conditions will cover the rest.If enough skydivers think this Idea is long over do(most Do)the program will develop faster.I've already made my suggestions to Jim Couch(Director of Safety and Training)and he seems to think it's an overall good idea.Oh,you can expect "Not" to get reamed cost wise.

    Been there,done that.It was great on the ride to altitude.In freefall O.K.I remember it was the first time I ever lost a grip!Opps,no more music in freefall!

    Humm,interesting thoughts.Men don't get turned on by just "Boobs" and an "Ass".We need something in the women's head that shows some sort of intelligence.So slap some grease on that "Bob" and put it any hole you feel like it!(lol)

    Canopy Coaches!Something that will be a requirement by USPA in the near future.Something I,ve been screaming for for a very long time now.Will it be for just C and D license holders?Will it be when you buy your first "Elliptical"?Anyway it's gonna cost ya!There is too much skill and knowledge lost from us old school guys.Thoughts?

    Bri,hey guy it's your choice!You know how I feel about this stuff.My last PD canopy had soooooooooo many oversews it wasn't funny!Mass production in the "Big Time" real world of PD is not the same as having a good small team building them.

    Steady at about 30 is my limit.I will,have watched other people try to jump in higher winds.It,s just not fun!

    Yeah,the dude is sooooooooo in the dark about engineer and designer stuff!Didn't it take 15-20 yrs just to do the "Shuttle"?7 yrs 2 months and a few days just to get the "Jedei Sweptwing" I wanted.Get ready to get ripped off!

    IF my memory is correct,about 1,800 ft.Open and flying between 1,300 and 1,350.Didn,t have much choice.Competition Accuracy(D license only could get out that low)I watched some crazy orange(Va.)guys do S/L's from 900 ft(that was scary)

    Life wisdom is not a bad thing to have!Hell,im 47,made 10 jumps this past year.No need to spend more than I have.The knowledge I have gained in my 26 yrs in the sport goes into my pocket(packing)and to those who want or need it.Have fun!
