virgin-burner 1 #1 May 6, 2008 maybe better asked for the beginners/intermediates.. have you scheduled a canopy-control course yet!? what are your expectations? the first you take? are you planning on doing more courses? i've brought myself around and booked mine yesterday. looking forward to it! now that i'm getting my landings nailed in every condition, this is going to be interesting! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

danielcroft 2 #3 May 6, 2008 Did mine this past weekend at the Ranch with Brian Germain, great guy, great teacher. Learned a lot, unfortunately the weather wasn't good so I didn't get to try any of it out. I was walking out to the loading zone and there was a big gust of wind across the DZ. I turned around and started walking back. lol 10 jumps and I want more than 11. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote i highly recommend signing up for jeffros camp in 3 weeks..you actually get to jump too! The weather was what stopped me jumping this time, I don't trust it enough to believe that I'll get to go up in three weeks. What's his course like? I was thinking of sending my wife. She has more jumps than me though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianmdrennan 2 #8 May 7, 2008 Folks, There's already a thread for Jeffro's course, no need to hijack this one. If this topic doesn't go anywhere soon, I'm going to lock it. I allow a lot of wiggle room in this forum, and I think canopy courses are a grey area (as I want to encourage them), but lets try and keep the 'chatter' down. Thanks.

virgin-burner 1 #9 May 7, 2008 tell it agent_lead then.. personally, i think that course is highly overpriced. i'm getting mine for 80$ plus jump-tickets! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
