buba07 0 #1 September 11, 2007 Hi, I've just done 6 jumps into the RAPS course. I'm really keen to learn more and more and this site is great, however I could do with something visual. Does anyone know of any online skydiving tuition?Thanks Freefallphil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_Copland 0 #5 September 11, 2007 Im trying for the life of me to remember a pretty decent website aimed at students, it had very good models and simulations of body positions/malfunctions etc. I believe it was aimed at DZs to use as an aid to the FJC for the student to go home and revise This is going to bug me if i cant remember the damn site. Anyway, i cant imagine your instructors being too happy about it unless you consult them first, they are your primary source. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blassiter 0 #9 September 11, 2007 do any of you happen to know of any free online study material like that site? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skytash 0 #10 September 12, 2007 E-Fli is the only one I'm aware of, and until you posted your comment, I didn't realise if cost anything, I'd looked at it when it was being developed, and it was free at the time. I don't think there is a free one anywhere. tashDon't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion. Avril Sloe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skytash 0 #15 September 12, 2007 that raises a question which could have one of two answers: It takes a long time for things to get into dictionaries, which would imply that you've been teaching a long time; or You haven't been teaching long and it is amazing how quickly dictionaries change! tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.
