Totally agree with "Geoffersincornwall"!
If you keep practicing the "Downwind" VRS at some point you will end up in a whole lot of trouble trying to recover! I was always taught "Into wind" VRS, then on my instructors test, i had to do the "Downwind" way,,,,i absolutely **** myself and recovered from 2300 ft start point,, at around 800 ft,,,
From that moment on,,,,i teach upwind,,,its enough to demonstrate the problem without putting the fear of god up the students! No doubt you'll get away with it for so long but keep at it and one day,,,,it'll bite you.
