- While Jumpmastering "One on Ones" I've had two students in separate
- situations who, at breakoff, turned and tracked in a 180'loop approaching a
- point directly underneath me while waving off. I'd been holding my position
- to eval thier TTLWP Sequence & watched it coming, so it wasn't too hard
- to get out of the way. But it happens very fast. Now I backslide out hard
- @ Break Off, gives me even more time to react & I can still get a real good
- veiw of the student. Ed.
