I agree, get a copy of "Fly Like a Pro". What aspects of your approach don't you like? Some could possibly give you some advice here but need to know what you would like to improve on first.

Get a copy of the "Basic Canopy Flight 101" video from Skydive University. It is better organised and easier to follow. By the time you finish all the exercises in BCF 101, you will be better than half the "Stiletto pilots."

I had one of those scary wraps one time!!!! Back when i had about 40 jumps..... This guy decided I needed to do my first CRW jump at about 1200 feet!!!! His canopy wrapped around me so bad when he hit me from behind....only my big ol' feet were hanging out as we both descended very quickly toward the run-way under only my canopy.....the other guy was a good 215 or so pounds....me about 170..... and his canopy was huge! I couldn't see anything. Finally he got his canopy off of me (amazing) at 300 feet. It was scary. Dane....if you're listening....hope all's well in your world!
