While there will never be a replacement for Scott Miller and all he's done in the education of canopy students worldwide... I can clear up some things here. Rarely a dz.com poster, but a history lesson is in order here. Drennan, please edit this as needed... don't want to step into ad territory, just want people to know whatsup and how they can still get what they need.
Scott Miller's partnership with the PD Factory Team in late 2003 into the Flight-1 school represents the combination of his Essential Skills Course with the team's knowledge and teaching experience in the HP Canopy world. This institution is still alive and active in both the DeLand and Elsinore campuses, as well as worldwide the Flight-1 coaches have been busy with the same curriculum you seek. Currently, we have a complete schedule of monthly ESC courses, and all our canopy skills camps published at www.pdfactoryteam.com. Mike Olivella, the most recent coaching addition to the Deland Flight-1 school is managing the demand for Scott's departure from Deland while the PD team members travel extensively. Inquiries can be directed to coach@flight-1.com
It is great to continue to see the influence of Scott's thorough yet simple "jump oriented" curriculum thruout the world in students everywhere. I believe in it wholeheartedly and continue to do my best to uphold the quality that Scott demanded in our partnership. In fact, most of the instructors referenced here at dz.com utilize a basic curriculum derived from this friendly, humble educator... Scott Miller. The PD Factory team is proud to have partnered with him, and continue his legacy in this sport.
We miss you Scott, and wish you all the best on your life's journey.
