Blahr 0 #1 February 27, 2004 If Freeflying is the act of flying your body in any (non-traditional) position, then what makes Atmonauti NOT freeflying and therefore worthy of its own (stupid) name? I've seen freeflyers fly at all kinds of angles. Its still called freeflying. Is it a specific angle like if your torso is exactly at 41 degrees up from parallel to the ground and your head is turned slightly to the left then its Atmonauti? Can someone hit me if I use that word again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wzettler 0 #2 February 27, 2004 Thats exactly what I have been thinking... I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 135 #3 February 27, 2004 let's say Atmonauti is a specific form of freeflying, at 41 degrees towards the grouns and your head slightly turned to the left (or the right depending on where the camera is) it's specially smooth to fly (apparently... I never tried) and I got a beautiful Frick Atmonauti long sleeve tshirt, so STOP saying bad things about Atmonauti. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrongWay 0 #4 February 27, 2004 Let's dig deeper...... If freefly is flying your body on every possible surface, why isn't RW considered freefly?? You could just about call anything that doesn't require a wingsuit freeflying by the definition of it. The only difference is, are you doing all these things on one dive?

jerry81 10 #5 February 27, 2004 I don't know what (if anything) would make Atmonauti NOT freeflying. But if we have expressions to describe flying with our heads or feet pointing at the ground, why not have another one for the ~45° angle? I know when I invent a cool new freefly position, I'll definitely give it a fancy name and use it everywhere, just to annoy people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJohnson 0 #7 February 27, 2004 Freeflying is a cooler name, but perhaps VrW is more accurate....then we have to go back and rename belly flying as HrW...then were does it stop...everything gets names and we need to write books....blah, blah, blah. It's all having fun to me. The joy is in the learning....Thank God, cause I can't do half of it worth a shit.
