Ya.... that is very true and a good story too! I have always been a focused guy and freeflying is the discipline I want to do so until someone steps up and helps me I guess I will be learning it any way I can and really paying attention the the videos I have.

I just really think that a new skydiver like myself needs support from the advanced skydivers. I only have 47 jumps and all I keep hearing is that it is way to soon to try freefly. I want to learn and I will do what it takes to get good at it. I enjoy solo jumps still and the rw people keep telling me its because its all still new. There may be some truth to that but eveytime I do a solo I learn a new way to move my body in the relative wind and that is what makes me smile. I hope freefly is not dying and I hope all who are experienced look for a newbie that wants to learn! I would kill for someone to be willing to work with me! Remeber that the only way anything dies off in the sport is if new skydivers are not being mentored enough! I think rw is cool too but I get the same thing generally.... no one really wants to work with me..... a lot of that has to do with the really good skydivers. At my dz they are all working.... camera, tandem, aff, etc. so the only time I really get work is on the last jump. Right now I rely on videos and just try the stuff from what I see. I think it is just tough right now because upjumpers don't pay the bills...... we all know what does. Just make sure you reach out to a newbie like someone did for you!

This sounds like it will be a blast..... it is my 1st boogie and yes I know.... case of beer. From what the Richmond crew tells me this is going to be unforgettable!!! Be gentle with me.... please.....

Hell ya!!!! I cannot believe it is time for the best boogie around! See you all there.......
