cpoxon 0 #1 April 21, 2003 I've just returned from 2 weeks in Florida. I was based mainly at ZHills whilst the missus participated in the new WORLD RECORD 2-point 120 way! But I did spend a couple of days in Deland attending a BirdMan Instructor Course with Jari and Kim. Those guys are thorough! I learnt an incredible amount. Who'd have thought a day in the classroom could be so absorbing; hardly noticed the blue skies outside after a couple of weather days! :-P Next day, after passing the ground school, I finally got to jump with Jari for my in-air evaluation. That was a hell of a lot of fun; Jari plays a good student! Passed that too so I'm now officially a BirdMan Instructor! It was also cool to meet and share the class with Scary Perry, Travis, Emily, Annie and her two daughters (Olivia and ?). Was a pleasure to meet you all. Thanks to the loan of a demo-suit from BirdMan, I was also able to take my beer student through her ground-school and inaugural flight; my girlfriend Caroline after she'd finished with that silly flat flying stuff and she was the perfect student. :-) Somehow, I managed to acquire 7 suits ( a mixture of Classics, GTis and even a Skyflyer) so I have a nice demo fleet if anyone wants to come and give it a go (probably at Langar subject to CCI approval) and maybe even progress onto a more advanced suit (if they fit) before you buy one.Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gus 1 #5 April 22, 2003 Well done dude, excellent news! I thought I played a pretty good student on our 2-ways and you were nowhere near me . LOL! Might take you up on that demo Skyflyer sometime, would like to see how different it is to my GTi. So is Caroline a convert?

cpoxon 0 #6 April 22, 2003 Don't think so. Scary Perry Trowbridge. Met Kramer in ZHills who said he'd jumped (served?)with you though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #7 April 22, 2003 QuoteSo is Caroline a convert? Not so sure. She found it quite scary, but she did enjoy it, although a sharp opening on her second jump aggravated a previous neck injury. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base570 1 #9 April 22, 2003 Quote Don't think so. Scary Perry Trowbridge. I like how Scary Perry is advertising an ILLEGAL jump on his website... He's way cool...NOT! I really don't think it's very smart to tell the world where and when your making an illegal jump BEFORE you make it, but I guess if your looking to get arrested or impress people, it's all good, RIGHT??? 570 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
