mindcool 0 #1 December 21, 2002 It's Kinda alike, Dont you think? We had of the Capoeira people that played in the DZ. Great fun and atmosphere escpecially if they're freeflyers :) Maybe we should start thinking about Capoeira Roedas in the sky or just on the ground in Festivals&Boogies...

wmw999 2,129 #3 December 23, 2002 Capoeira troupes seem to have an esprit de corps and friendliness that's similar to skydivers'. It requires agility etc. I would imagine most capoeiristas would make awesome skydivers (assuming they're interested), because of the physical conditioning, agility, and flexibility required.

falxori 0 #5 December 23, 2002 Quote Does anybody know what this means ? which part isnt clear? capoeira started as a way slaves used to practice martial arts when they werent allowed to (so they pretended they were dancing.) its cool and gives you a great work out... look for a PS2 close to you and try playing with Cristie Monteiro... why is it good for skydiving? i guess from the same reasons yoga is, it gives you better control of your body and everything feels more natural.

mindcool 0 #6 December 23, 2002 Basicly you are all right. what is similar the most is the faternity they got. it's like a little family. Every roeda they make it's like a circle in the sky. they got 2 people that "fight" inside the circile and do some acrobatic stuff. they got a lot of hand stand and doing stuff on their heads and this is the connection to freeflying. It's all looks cool and they got those cool looking pants that looks a lot like jump pants. In short there are a lot of common stuff except we do all the cool stuff with rigs Blue Skies Shaggy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KawiZX900 0 #7 December 23, 2002 nice link Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
