Swoop Club is a great platform for canopy pilots of all skill levels to test their skills and learn how to be more precise with landing their canopy. Many people were hesitant to participate in last month’s Swoop Club because they felt that they were not good enough. Some of those people were brave and gave it a shot anyway. Others decided to watch from the sidelines. The people that participated had a great time, the people that watched said they will definitely do the next one. Swoop Club is for everyone!!!!

amychmelecki 0 #3 July 24, 2008 You can do big turns on hop and pops. During Swoop Club most people do hop and pops. Some people run the course from altitude, but only if they have to because they are working. If you run the course from altitude then you have to do 90s or 180s.
