  1. My girlfriend and I were just finished with AFF and had a couple of solo jumps when we came to Z-Hills. We were required to do a check dive with a coach to clear us for jumping solo--no problem, just like AFF 7. Anyway, the DZ requires 5 more coach jumps to prepare for an A license; what a waste of my time and money, or so I thought! Their coaches taught us so much in those dives that I was turning points on 4-ways before I had 30 jumps! We advanced ten fold in a couple of weekends--I would highly recommend coach sessions to anyone who wants to truly better their skills beyond the AFF material. Enough about the staff; the place itself is great: huge landing area, showers, packing area, swoop pond, Total Body Pilot Freefly School, bonfires, snack bar, rigging loft and the DZ bar opens after the sunset load takes off—although they do take the beer rules seriously!!! Blue skies.
  2. I just demoed a Cobalt 170 this past weekend--it performs as Dan and the lit states! There was only one opening that had slight line twists, but I was able to correct them by adjusting my weight in the harness. I had excellent glide on landings, even without wind. This was my first experience with an elliptical and I'm glad it was with one with such great openings...
