Going Horizontal for distance

[fr33flyr 0]

I have seen plenty of pictures of people leaning forward to the point of horizontal during a distance run but I can't find any video to see how and when the transition is made. Can someone post a link?

There's no way it can help that much because when most start going horizontal is after they transition to toggles and at that point your start slowing down pretty rapidly anyways.

But it feels so natural

I've watched Nick Batsch going horizontal as he passes through the entry gates with his face about 2 feet off the water.

i have to disagree. and it does kinda feel natural after doing it for a while, I do it on my regular swoops, without even popping up sometimes. It's almost like a freestyle move now (i modified it just a bit, see pic) and one of my old time swoop heroes called this move "The Dick Scratch". I am going to do that move at the PST and if i stand it up i am naming it just that.
