Ahh the solo, what a memory.
The thing I remeber most is the weight difference when the instructor gets out (read; bounce bounce bounce)

If you've been learning in the same Crookston wind that I experienced, you've got a good start. (And because someone is sure to bite, no, I wasn't referring to MTV's posts!) Welcome aboard!
