it also sucks when people learn during the fall then stop halfway thru and pick up back in the spring. I have seen two guys who had to stop last year and i met them this year. I have seen both of them crash. (one guy almost nailed himself on a landing) and the other guy hit one of the rebar posts used to hang the fence around the pitts. Both of these guys are really shakey flyers. I'm not a nervouse flyer (not anymore) and i think it's because i learned to solo within such a short time so i can grasp all the info given to me. unlike the guys who probably forgot over the winter.
