Arch Turn

[Snypam118 0]

So how do I do an Arch turn. If I had an object infront of me how do i rotate around it doing a 360? Thnx

"Nobody believes me when I say riding a motorcycle is scarier than jumping"...

Have 60 static line jumps and thought I was cool until i discovered REAL FLIGHT

Your describing a process that will involve "Side Sliding" in an Arc.

To do it you'll have to move side ways while keeping a bit of positive leg input so as to "carve" around the target.

First master "Side Sliding", then add the "Carving" portion.

Ask Vince (aka "DOC") how at the DZ next time. I am sure others can help too.

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

huh?

Pretty much any turn is done in an arch. What you are talking about sounds like orbiting around a point.

Start by learning to turn in place (no offence, but trust me, at 25 jumps, you dont know how to turn in place). Then you can add to that.

Remster has it right. So...either do a number of jumps with a coach, or head to a tunnel where they can teach you this within a few minutes.
