Being a flat flyer does not necessairly mean they do not have an understanding of a disipline. Are you suggesting that to become a CCI someone has to be competent at every skydiving disipline including FF, RW CrW, VRW, Wingsuit, Speed Skydiving, Ball Jumps, Freestyle, Sky Surfing, etc etc ? You obviously weren't at the sweedish freefly festival. Lots of excellent coaches (including brits) with a great attitude Every sport has coaches of varying skills. FF has some highly skilled coaches. There are a number of british FF coaches of a very high international standard. I assume you meant to say a la not aka. I have made coach jumps with Tim Porter, and am very happy with the amount and standard of instruction. Skydiving is Tim's livelihood, and the rates should not be compared to coaches that skydive as a hobby but have another source of income. There are plenty of people that will take you up for little or no cost, but in most cases you get what you pay for. Most PROFESSIONAL freefly coaches in the US charge about $35 + slots for instructional jumps with 1 student, Max charges $40. Babylon charge 62 - 73 euro (inc slots) depending on how many jumps you are doing. If you don't have anything constructive to contribute then why bother? I notice that most of your reviews are negative and unhelpful; perhaps your 1,000,000 jumps have taken their toll.
