ciao everyone! the waiting has an end the official List of the 70 selected best FreeFlyers for the next World Record Attempt 2006 in Al Ain U.A.E. is now online! check out www.1olav.com 1st School of Modern Skyflying www.skydivetortuga.com

a last statement. i would ask the dropzone.com team to take off the post of "jose" - of how to do a spaceball. please. and it is true - if you do not think of what you do before you do it - you are a DANGER for everybody jumping with a ball. i do not care about your skill - the attitude is wrong. think before you post such an information : WHO can get the little "recipy"? - EVERYBODY. even aff students. i do not want to say more - YOU should START thinking. i am very sad about such a unresponible behavior from freeflyers who think or at least say they understood their responsibility.

its about 2 - 2 1/2 hrs. there is a direct train connection to arezzo (zip: 52100) from the trainstation ist about a 5min taxi ride - really easy! by car highway E35 direction firenze. see you soon then!

hey dude!!!!! yeah what a shame you couldnt make it over! next year i wanna see you and blakey over here again for space games 16! we had a blast time - the flying was supernice, the people awesome! hope everything is good with you! would love to see you soon, have a great time, losty! write me an email! fly free, big hug, barbara

ok

hey, i would reccomend to first understand a bit more about the flying aspect. you match the flying speed of the ball - not the other way around. otherwise you are not ready to fly WITH a ball. use a ballmaster when you want to make a ball jump. and certain descriptions of "how to make a space ball" public on the internet is a really really stupid thing - just to look cool. i am sorry not to have the "nice post" - but this is .... fly free and think more. barbara 1st school of modern skyflying.

please, never try headdown for a whole SOLOjump if you are not sure if you are moving (or if you even think so!) - you could very possibly make a big - a bigger distance than you think - horizontal during the dive which could move you into other jumpers airspaces - what that could lead to you should know. get into a spot, try headdown for a FEW SECONDS on a solo, go back to sit again, make sure where you are and than try again. the best is if you - while you are sitting - orientate yourself and look 90 degrees of the jumprun and than try headdown - in this case you move forward or backward away from the jumprun but not into other groups! otherwise it is very dangerous for you AND for other skydivers jumping the same load with you.
