bigfritz 0 #1 August 21, 2003 Is there a website that explains how to do different types of skydiving maneuvers step by step? I know I could just easily ask somebody at my dropzone how to do a maneuver, but while I'm not at the DZ, I think about it 24/7. A site like this would give me something to look at and pratice until I could get to the DZ to try 'em out. =] ------------------------ Freefly, baby.

ixlr82 7 #8 August 21, 2003 Not a web-site, but a good book for where you're at. The Skydivers Handbook by Dan Poynter and Mike Turoff. __________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but as bigfritz pointed out, not all of us can spend 24/7 at the DZ. But we do think about it 24/7. We need other ways to feed the addiction - books, videos, websites, post whoring, etc. Myself, I've been looking around for different people's descriptions of using just legs to fly. Tried it a few times and it's great - but I want to know more....... JumpScars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
