Day 4 Spinning students and recovering of students on their back.

Today we are handling the BAD students and our instructors have started being not so nice.. The first 3 jumps have been with students spinning out of control. Peter also mend he was going to exit the plane on he’s back so both of us were in a bad freefall position but i recovered as planned and got him back into the right body position. the 4th and last jump for me today was students spinning or unstable on there back. It was a good feeling being able to be in the right place  and be able to turn the student 3 times after  him always turning on he’s back 3 seconds after releasing the student….

Time is now 22:00 and we are watching the British AFF instructors video of the day and I just been told that we are better instructors than the experienced ones on that video.  So our confidence on the team of Danish newcomers is pretty high..

SORRY still no pic we are simply too busy to take pictures but some will come later…..

Day 2 and 3 in Perris Aff training.

Day 2 : Sunday i made 5 AFF jumps With Thomas trying different exits and bad students its was fun flying being student and instructor. After the training we had ½ an hour in the tunnel with Kenneth Gadja coaching 15 min of basic flying and 15 min of AFF specific flying.

Day 3 : Monday first day of the AFF course we started out with level 3 jumps 2 instructors and the student.. it went pretty good and today i got the medal for best progression so i guess the tunnel really helped yesterday… after 4 jumps we finished jumping and some went to the tunnel to get more coaching.. I just wanted to relax  and jumped in my swoop pantz and went for a down winder on the grass. It was my best swoop here in my 90 velo ever and swooped all of the grass area. It actually was so good my hands was shaking after the jump “and THAT is what swooping is all about “

tomorrow we are going to jump more one on one to get the more difficult students on the right course…

If i wont write tomorrow it will be because we are pretty busy here and there is limited internet access…

1. day in Perris

ahh started out early and was on the first 7 loads getting the DZ and elevation dialed in again. The pond is nice and Bundy filled it up because he knew we were arriving..

After a short break i went on 7 jumps more with Peter and Kim its so easy to see none of us have been jumping much the last few days. but we are now back in the rhythm….

after the 14 swoops i went on 2 tracking jumps with Lasse who was going to fly the Birdman Impact tracking suit for the first time he also just went on he’s jump nr  100. Nicely done Lasse..

Tomorrow will be training for the AFF course and ½ an hour of tunnel with Kenneth as Coach…

California here I come again.

Its been a while since i Blogged last time but nothing really happened weather’s been bad and i only got around 20 jumps since Africa.

But now i am sitting here in a Boeing 747-400  again on my way to Los Angeles (Perris valley) again. The plan this time is to get settled in tonight, Get a full day of swooping tomorrow and then start with the AFFi training. I also Booked Kenneth Gadja to give me some tunnel training Sunday night, so i hopefully will be fit for fight, When Peter and Kim is going to mess around with us Monday to Friday and hope fully make the next 4 Danish AFF instructors out of us.

I am also really hoping for Performance engineering to get my RDS slider brought here to CA. I ordered it about 3 month ago but some mishaps happened and i still haven’t seen anything of it. Hopefully i will get some Pic to add tomorrow but for now this is it.
