Get thee to Perris and ask for Jack Gramley, (DZ manager) or Brett
Townley. (instructor) Either can help or point out another CRW dog.
Oh to be near a DZ not in a CRW wasteland.

Check Perris the weekend of the 14th and 15th. 35 or more dogs
will be building big ways and fancy sequentials. ...

Wishing I could be there,
Steve F.

Except for the Famous Mister Ball. Cannonholio's from Louisiana but

Kimber --

You're jumping at Perris, right?

If so, go up to manifest (not the competition window!) and ask to get in
touch with ANY of the load organizers. Tell the LO what your situation is
and what you'd like to do.

My -guess- is that you should -probably- stay away from CRW until you feel
comfortable just basically handling your canopy for landings (maybe just one
weekend). There is a CRW camp for people of all levels scheduled somewhere
around the Nationals. Not exactly sure when (I'm mostly a 4-way video guy).

As a LAST resort, page me and I can go over a couple of basic things with
you like the landing pattern, accuracy tricks and flairing.

Well, I kinda like it here in So Cal... but I must have missed the memo
about the CYPRES as I don't have one in my rig.

Your chances of getting CRW instruction just increased greatly.

Kimber - If you had made the Lodi boogie, I'd have taken you up for a 2-
way or two, but instead, you had all those excuses, so tough luck! :-)

Anyhow, go talk to Jack, Perris's new DZ manager. He's done just a tad
bit of CRW and might have some free time himself (after Nationals) or
at least be able to point you in the right direction. He took me up on
my first and second 4 stacks, and we rotated the 2nd one several
times. Those were my 200th and 201st jumps, both left me with my knees
shaking from adrenaline. Remember to mention your knee if someone
tries to loan you a CRW specific canopy. Lightning landings can be
pretty brutal if you're not prepared for them.

Blues,
Dave

Yes I understand your english. I am a physical girl and understand that CRW
is way more physical than the freefall stuff.

> have 250/300 jumps minimum wraps are skury. DON'T MAKK ME MAD.....the

I am not looking to do big CRW... I am looking for some help in gaining
confidence and enjoyment of my canopy again.

Come on Earl... the West is waiting!

OK then but I putting yer name in the Coyotes book of sheep. Better not see ewe
whineing about line burns later.
BTW Big Earl say he not coming to San Diego cuz although he don't mind opening
a can of ass whip once and awhile to help me out, he ain't going to carry six
packs of it all over the dang country.on a Greyhound bus. So I sez fine, start
going to Quincy everyear & doing them all in one place! :->

Geez, I didn't ever say I am looking to take up CRW at this point. I was
looking for somebody with lots of canopy experience to help me out. Seems
to me an old CRW dog would be a perfect choice. Before my accident I had
good canopy control, accuracy etc... something else is going on right now
and I am having some stuff going on that I need to get over. I need some
help. Fuckit.. why am I trying to explain to you anyway?

> remember Laughter is the only free thing in skydiving :->

At least I can still do that.

Why ewe talking to me? cuz skydiving is mostly mental & I have moved
beyond that to demented. Best coyote advice keep jumping, WORK ON THE
BASICS! every weekend...work it out...fly yer canop....work on accuracy
(putting it where ewe want it) play with it up high. I used to go out
at 135 and throw out then ride my canopy down playing with it. CHECK
THE OPERS FIRST! work on landings, talk to riggers...they more expert
on explaing canopy dynamics than crew dogs, work it out mentally then
study CRW later down the line, ewe got the rest of yer life. so ewe had
an accident THATS SKYDIVING! Why cause a worse accident? :-* snuffy

Actually since you mention it, I am *trying* to work it out so I can go.
Just have to figure out how I am going to pay for it!

Kimber,help is on the way(just kidding).Being comfortable flying your
canopy is like waving off before you pull.It will take some time and
lots of jumps(sure you knew that already)CRW Training is a great idea
will someone very experienced.(not me)More jumps in all wind conditions
will help your confidence.You are also ready to look at landings with a
new healthy respect.(cool)Be careful out there and have fun.rob
