Spin training for US pilots?

Recently we saw a pilot upgrade in performance to an ASW20. In spite of at least 3 instructors telling him he needed to get spin training before flying that glider. The new owner has chosen to ignore their recommendations. Actually, If a pilot were to blow off spin training, A 20 is a good ship to own because it does not spin readily. More likely (Depending on the CG) it will enter into a steep spiral. The thing we need to remember is that it is not necessarily spins that cause accidents, It is the lack of recognition that does. This was addressed in the video that Sean posted. The goal of training should be to recognize and avoid spins in the first place and not just on spin recovery.
