cromper, what tradmike just posted is the best lesson i ever learned, and as the others said, practice.
fear for your life, loose a few pieces, stay alive, keep going. good luck

was he wearing a helmet?
If you give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute. If you set him on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
