Two way exits for head up Can't Post

Hey guys

Any tips on easy exits (linked) to do with those "new" freefliers? I'm talking about two ways. Or is better to go unlinked?

One example is a exiting in track - side by side linked, then front flip into a sit.

Interested to hear what you have to say

Shot!

Leg lock or sit train are the easiest to take out and maintain levels.

i'm a fan of linking knees, dropping off the (otter) door and putting your hands out for stability- horny gorilla style. that way when you're off the hill, stable and ready to break apart you're already on the same level and know exactly where the other person is in case of corking or other seperation issues.

hey fellow,

flover 2 way, 3 way and so on exit means you that guys are taking the grip with the same hand. in 2 way one of you is facing tale, another one - prop, you both are indoors...

OH, a Flower exit. Of course.....
Although that isn't a very good exit for newbie sitflyers...
I'd say definitely stick to the leg-lock exits. Much better for learning to sitfly and staying together etc. etc..... It promotes the backfly which is essential for a new sitfly person

locking the legs isnt a good idea either, you barely learn how to use your legs in sit on exit.

Leg lock is better cause it keeps newer jumpers level while on the hill. Most newer FF'ers cant fly there body untill the airspeed is higher. That is why leglock is a better exit for newer jumpers. If jumpers want to learn to exit better then they should do a no linked exit front float, rear float.

Read the original question again....

The OP was just wanting to know what the easiest exit is (linked). And leg lock exit is pretty freaking simple.
