RossDagley 0 #26 July 19, 2005 I've done about 30 minutes of freefly coaching in the tunnel and I still suck I cant backfly well (read at all) because anything over a few minutes on my back gives my dodgy shoulder jip, but i'm sure it'll come with practice. My sitfly is stable-ish, but if i move even a fraction more than very gently, I tumble. I'd like to practice this in the air rather than the tunnel, with no walls to hit Interesting to note that sit flying is banned at my home DZ (Hinton, UK) until a minimum of FS1 and 100 jumps. So I can do it, but I can't. If you see what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasonRose 0 #27 July 19, 2005 It seems newbie Free Flyers are so willing to admit to there mistakes and there weak points. Keep it it up I think that is what makes a great skydiver. Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outlawphx 1 #28 July 19, 2005 Quotebut if i move even a fraction more than very gently, I tumble. That's what I've learned recently. I'm used to using big flying inputs with counter movements to stop from my 4-way days. I was able to do stable 360's in a sit and do some fallrate control this weekend by concentrating on making small adjustments. The first couple times I tried to do turns in a sit, the turn accelerated so quickly that I spun up on my back. I've come to realize that just pushing one foot down an inch or two, or twisting your torso just a smudge, is all it takes to complete a 360 in about 3-5 seconds.
