GLIDEANGLE 1 #1 October 21, 2011 Earlier this week I posted a question asking if facial piercings were necessary to learn to freefly. Many of your answers were helpful. One answer implied that I might be too old. This insightful comment caused me to engage in some self-examination. I fear that I may be DIS-qualified from ever learning to freefly because.... -- I like CReW. -- I like flying CReW in the sky and I like hanging out with CReW dawgs on the ground. -- I feel at home with the dawgs. -- I like boarding the aircraft with a rig that looks like it was packed by a blind, one-armed rigger; and thus scaring the students. -- I am fond of hook knives. Knowing that, could I learn to freefly? The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigbey 0 #4 October 22, 2011 Quotecould I learn to freefly? Not with that Spectre 210 in your rig. I recommend that you immediately downsize to a 99 Sq ft Acme AzzKicker 27 so you can fly with the big boys. It should fit in your existing rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #6 October 22, 2011 A number of years ago when I was a wet-behind-the-ears jumper visiting Eloy for the first time, I did some freefly jumps with a guy who had a 4-digit D-number. He was old enough that he could have been my father and he flat out made freeflying look easy.

popsjumper 2 #13 October 26, 2011 If you can't belly-fly, call it "freeflying" If you can't track, call it "atmonauti" If you like seeing the color sequence of blue-green-blue-green pass by your eyes...you will like freeflying.My reality and yours are quite different.
