Hopefully, this will be of use to somebody working on his/her landing skills.

A Landing Practice & Technique Video

Liked how you practiced flying upright while you were flying.
One thing that Joe Greblo taught me when I was flying, practice your upright flying even when you don't have to. Joe feels, as well as I do, that too many people 'forget' how to fly upright because they spend almost all of the time 'laying down' when they fly and this could contribute to bad landings as well. If someone doesn't feel comfortable flying upright, then chances are their landings are going to suffer as well.
But then again, that's just my opinion.

Hey Jonathan,
Such a great video and very informative. Crazy work schedule is keeping me from flyign right now, but at least I have your videos to keep me learning while away.
On another note, I noticed the pod and remember you asking about making one. Did you make it yourself or buy it?
Take care,
Marc

I won this pod in Dustin's raffle last year.
I like it too,
Under the guidance of Windsports you should make an entire video set of proper technique.
I recommend you place them all for free on youtube with a strong disclaimer recommending potential students to seek professional advice.
With a strong Interwebs presence Windsports could both become a worldwide recognized school and standardize proper protocols.
I see so many videos glamorizing the "superman" take off, as well as numerous improper techniques.

Hey Jonathan,
An entire series could be made similar to the ones used for private pilots. Like the Sporty's or ASA DVD's. Anyhow, I'd say work on the videos and get Joe's imput on what would be best as well as get imput from newbies on what they could use help on. Your such a prolific flyer that you could even make it for seasoned pilots with some XC videos. If done right, you could either make it a free set of videos or even make money on this to at least cover your time and costs. A single DVD with a series of videos could be bundled with the yellow book and red book we buy as beginners. Maybe even get Joe to go over some groundschool stuff on video. I could see somehting like this being standard training info for every school. Maybe even head to other shools and do some scooter towing videos and airtow videos.
Keep up the good work,
Marc
