Islandcool 0 #1 March 8, 2003 Ok so I've been practicing some sit flying on solo jumps. It's been going ok but not great..but that's another forum. The manager of my DZ and a friend of his ask me if I want to do a 3 way with them. I'm hesitant and want to back out because I've only done two 2 ways and I'm intimidated by their experience level. I suck it up and tell them ok. He tells me what we're going to do. Just some simple stuff. Since I know nothing about RW verbage I will just say that we were going to dock facing each other and rotate so I would grab someone's side and rotate back. And repeat with the other person. (geee can you tell I'm a newbie). Anyway things went ok..not great but ok. We docked missed the first side grab rotated and got the second. I was surprised how much I needed to drive with my legs to keep in position. I was jumping in jeans and a t-shit (gotta love san diego) and they were wearing jumpsuits. I did have a tough time keeping up with their fall rate. So I guess if their is a question here it would be. Where on the web can I find some docs about basic RW fundamentals? I've found a bunch of freefly stuff but not much rw. Can't wait do do more RW. Blue Skies Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albatross 0 #3 March 10, 2003 If you need some info try Skydive U. They are the formal experts on body flight. OR go to the tunnel. But make sure to get a suit, it will make a huge difference.Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymiles 3 #4 March 10, 2003 I remember you Ed. Now that I know you’re interested in RW, I’ll keep an eye out for you. We have organized RW loads every Saturday and you are welcome to join us. In no time you’ll be up to speed on the terminology. Philip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islandcool 0 #5 March 10, 2003 QuoteI’ll keep an eye out for you. Hi Phil. I'll be there on Sat. 9:00 right? I think I'm going to have to borrow one of the student jumpsuits. I'm going to try to run to perris or elsinore this week and see if I can get a used one. See you on Sat. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betzilla 56 #6 March 11, 2003 Try maybe the national skydiving league website. Sorry I don't have the web address. There will definitely be plenty of info on 4-way there, and maybe some really basic stuff too. That side-grabbing thing is called "sidebodies," by the way.
