Rule # 1: Do not crash
Obvious? Maybe, maybe not.Piroflips are a long term project. Getting good needs repetitions. Lots of them.
100 PFs in a single flight isn't much, it's one every three seconds. Now if I crash "only" in 1 % of my attempts, I've got one crash per piroflip-training flight in average!
Sorry, 1 % crash rate is not good enough.
Fortunately, there is a lot we can do to prepare and get this number much closer to 0 %. And this is the idea behind this tutorial: "learn to learn piroflips with minimum risk"
Also keep this in mind when practising with the simulator: Alright, you do crash more frequently than in reality. But it's good to occasionally get yourself together: "After the next crash I'll take a break and do the dishes / take out the thrash / (do something mildly unpleasant that needs to be done)".
