BobxMarley 1 #1 May 7, 2015 I've been focusing a lot of my time on tracking/angle lately. I've been seeing more and more videos of groups angle tracking in a stand fly position. The part I never see is how they exited and/or transitioned into the standing track. I would love some information and/or video explaining how to go about practicing this. Obviously, coaching is going to be my next step. But, I'd love to start gathering information now. Also, if you have recommendations on experience prior to experimenting with a standing track, that would be great. Thanks in advanced.Klaasic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobxMarley 1 #3 May 7, 2015 Nah, I haven't even started messing with it. All my tracking has been belly/back. I figured I start seeking out information now because I'm curious about the progression.Klaasic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The enclosed video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caFJxmJzITY) shows transitions and flying style that you are interested in (1:34). The level of flying in the enclosed video shows pretty well free flying proficiency that is required. Tunnel time and good coaching will get you there sooner .The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

BobxMarley 1 #9 May 8, 2015 Yeaaaaaah! That's exactly what I'm talking about. That type of flight is so incredibly dynamic, it's hard for me to even wrap my head around it. Very alluring. Thanks for sharing that video. It has definitely sparked some thought in the ol' mindbox.Klaasic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not my kind of flying, but having seen Craig Girard keep up with a jumper at track off, with a slide slide, I wont underestimate the skills of much better jumpers than me!
