Have i said one time a student be flying an elliptical????? well not yet i havent... It will be coming soon i bet..... What i am saying is TEACH them You dont see our HS students being taught Lattin instead of english just because that's where it came from.... no we teach english..... we need to teach canopy flight, and Yea.... Slam it into the heads of students "if you fuck up.... you're gonna be messed up..... so learn now before you get coocky......" HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE
-
Hey, i so agree with you.......... I know the students now could be so far ahead of where we are in the same amount of time HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE
-
How many do you want to see starting on a manta 289.... I am so not saying we load the canopies up crazy..... I am saying we give them what they will be flying as "Beginners".... Thats all i am saying.... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE
-
I SO AGREE....... I just dont want to keep hurting students by making them learn under canopies that will not teach them real flight....
-
Have i once said..... no i havent.... what i am saying is lets stay with the times..., Dont stack the deck in order to make the instructors job easier...' And yeah..... I stoped jumping before i became an instructor..... yeah.... I was a J/M (no excuses) and i dont want it to be an argument..... I really think that keeping the students up to date with equiptment is a good thing... What i am saying is that i think A LOT more attention NEEDS to be given to canopy work... Hell at least as much as RW or FF when you are working with a new jumper.... And that it needs to be blasted into their brains that the thing that will fuck them up or kill them will be the canopy ride..... way before losing altitude awareness..... (that was what was slammed into our brains) HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

WTF........ dont bring me into this.... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

Well, i am thinking i have talked down @200.... I am not saying that they need to be under hotrods..... my god.... I am saying let's keep the students under the nrewest technology, the canopies that are going to be closest to what they will buy as their own...... i'm not saying put a student out on a 1 to 1 canopy, hell i dont care if it square or elliptical.... I am saying that lets not let students get under (realitivly speaking) round canopys and when they are off student status say HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA.... FUCK YOU go learn again..... It is coming fast, and we are going to be at the same place we were at when rounds became "Un cool" HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

No i really mean it.... I had but 3 jumps when we went to new canopies.... I mean... It was a hit or miss thing with the manta.... I hit the new stuff... and it "predictable..... I mean, DONT USE OUTDATED shit just because it will be easier to teach...... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE
-
And..... I may be jumping on a ledge.... But i think a lot of the "lightly loaded elliptical" debate is based more on curent jumper pride.... I have had older jumpers admit that to me when i was buying a sabre the first time..... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE
-
No... ok... Wait i did learn one thing...... What it was like to be under canopy at 3000'.... But i HONESTLY can say that it was nothing like flying the newer student canopies.... (well yeah, two toggles) Ok i must state that i am ONLY talking about the canopy aspect of training... I mean i could go into openings and things... But as a student you dont really know what to expect.... you have seen pictures of things and listened to instructors... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE
-
I am saying EXACTLY that..... Yeah the manta got me to the ground.... But it had NOTHING to teach me.... I saw people learn under the "Newer" canopies have much better success transitioning to sport gear... It was nothing like the modern canopies flown now It's like saying riding a tricycle benefits you when learning to ride a motor cycle ( i guess you could make that argument, but i belieave that a bicycle will do a better job.....) HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

ok... I was thinking the Main office in europe... but yeah man, i see your point...
-
Of course it's not..... I would never wanna see a student put out on a HIGHLY loaded canopy.... Thats just not cool.... What i'm saying is that elliptical and semi-elliptical canopys are going to be the norm.... Just like squares, ZP..... So let's teach new jumpers to fly what they will be flying.... I sure as shit would have been better off if i had learned under a more modern canopy then then a Manta.... I had to learn all over again when my dz bought new canopies..... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

Have you talked to anyone else form the company??? I mean.... well people are people.... and well... I sure as hell wouldnt buy a car on the word of 1 person that worked for the company.... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

Ok, speaking for myself... 225 exit weight I was on a sub 200 Turbo ZX as a "Student" (17th jump)... In my training canopy controll was a HUGE thing.... I mean they didint let you off radio untill they were VERy confident you would do the right thing... and when we downsized.... Back on radio.... I am saying a elliptical or semi-elltiptical for a jumper that has been trained right will be fine under a responsibly loaded canopy.... Wow... Now i am thinking about how GREAT the SOS is for students..... I mean Teach what you will use. you will be a lot less prone to mistakes..... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

Well said... So true..... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

LOL... Wow.... This Dude, wouls party hard (drinkin, smokin....) and made over 70 albums..... Thats more that 1 album a year for each year he was alive.... okokokok.... o i dont get into country music.... but you gotta love that this guy was about music.... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE

Compare this to beginers jumping the miserable PD(non ZP ) or say the saber , or sabre 2's...... I mean at a light loading it will be all good.... Shit 8 years ago people said a beginner under a sabre was a problem..... I dont know.... I see the cobalt at a light loading to be a great "Beginner" canopy..... We cant stop the progress... Look at BOC for students.... I just think at the right loading an elliptical or "semi" elliptical is fine for a beginner... It's all about what you learn with.... HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE
