Hello Pammi, Scotty and Tami here. Tami tying Scotty's advise! And HI !!!! Scotty's Voice Saying: My sweet little zoomy, you dont suck....you have the key in your hands. You said it yourself "you just need more practice"! I recommend that you find someone with a skydive university basis body flight 101 tape and buy it or borrow it. Or you can contact skydive university and purchase a learning package (go to skydive univeristy website). Do you have any coaches at your dropzone? If not, find a seasoned skydiver (perferably a good RW Flyer) and ask for some help/tips. The start - coast - stop method is explained really well in the tape. Bottom Line....is it takes time patients and it really helps if someone with good teaching skills is willing to work with you. Hey...you should try to come down some weekend (or during the week) and I will do some one on one with you. Tami Talking Now: He is really good....tough but good. I did only 6 coach jumps with him when I had 50 jumps and my skills increased a great deal. Warining - Warning. he is touch but it works!!!! OK Scotty back now: Rember...practice makes perfect and you do NOT suck at all you and all the .comers did great. I will email you our phone number and please feel free to call with any questions you may have or just to say HEY! Blues and keep up the good work, Later Gaters, Scotty and Tami
