just from my own experience only, most of the guys i think are uber in their planes didnt answer my questions. but, to offset that, the 3 or so that have, not only answered my questions, they went out of their way to to show me their chops and tell me how i couldve done this or that. like dolby one night when i was still trying to find my style and my plane. i was a k4. he was smoking me over and over. finally on 200 i say man i just cant seem to find a way to a gun solution. he says, you know what, meet me over the water. we did about 10 merges, each one hes typing in the middle of the fight, walking me through the motions. he literally couldve killed me on everyone of those merges, but instead, he said, ok reset, try it again. when he knew i had absorbed as much as i could. he tells me, practice those things and let em branch out and you can only get better. then he smoked me again, haha. now, part of my style is clearly influenced by that session. so times like that more than make up for the guys who could care less. and really the lessons ive gotten have been enough to keep me busy for a good long while. and they were so good that the next steps in my progression are coming naturally. so its almost like you only need a few guys to help ya anyway. if that makes sense.
