danwayland 0 #1 January 14, 2005 I just searched the web, and I could not find one video of somebody backflying in freefall. Other than a tracking dive I mean. Nobody giving their foot to a tandem or taking a grip on an RW formation from their back. There are some really good videos of backflying in the tunnel, but none that I could find in freefall. I wanna see one. I backflew fairly well in the tunnel, but it didn't transfer 100% to freefall. Maybe because the rig keeps me from feeling the air, maybe because the tunnel provides a constant reference point, or maybe because I had a lot of practice in a short period of time at the tunnel, but then I leaked skills before I got to freefall, I dunno, but I wanna see somebody doing it. Anybody got anything super hot freefall backfly vids? thanks,-- Dan Wayland http://www.danwayland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can ask him if you want, his DZ.com name is garyharbird. I don't know him or anything but it's in the credits and the original post I got the video from. I was curious about the suit too.

BlueSBDeath 2 #10 January 16, 2005 Here is one of me shooting a TM, I go to me back all the time with TM's. Some TMI's don't like me to get directly below them, so I slip a little to the front.

Stumpy 256 #12 January 17, 2005 I have a question - does a backfly have a similar speed range to normal belly to earth? It looks to me like it should be faster unless you are in a fairly uncomfortable position (barring wings of course) Cheers for any inputNever try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikki_ZH 0 #13 January 17, 2005 Yes, you can fly faster then on your belly. You can arch a lot better on your back. Theoretically you could touch your feet with your hands while on your back. You would have a minimal air resistance this way. But you can also slow down to an equal speed as on your belly. The range is bigger on your back.Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoter 0 #14 January 17, 2005 Now thats just given me a vision of a completely new discipline.......at last ! a new way to unite free and flat flyers.. 4 way RW but with 2 on their belly and 2 on their back at all times....turning points ....hmm lets call it "Hybrid RW" for want of a better description I think thats got a future.....
