Lozza 0 #1 January 23, 2005 Just when I thought Freeflying couldn't get any better, we go head down. I have been coached by a friend to for the last couple of months to get general Feel for Freeflying and perfect my technique. So after getting good body position we decided to give head down a blast. what a blast it was. We left the plane linked, and after a bit of a rocky start I managed to get my act together and there we were, head down. I never thought it would be that much of a laugh. The look of everything upside down and the extra speed was incredible. We held for about 10+ seconds then broke apart, and went into a sit. For anyone that is just starting out in Freeflying, get a coach, or someone that can coach, it helps heaps, and is worth it. I would not be where I am now without it. To everyone else that can all ready do it...Wicked. So thanks Rich (Tustinr) It's much appreciated. Lozza. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tustinr 1 #2 January 23, 2005 Head down is a real buzz !! A coach helps - I remember all those solos I did trying to perfect the technique (still a long way to go). However if one can put something back into the sport by teaching a newbie then so much the better for the discipline - someone else to play with in the future !! Headown in the initial stages can be really fustrating without any input into body position and zippo relativity to know where you are going. I still learn something from every jump. A pleasure to be of assistance. Now if only that 20 knot wind would #$#$ off. Rich --------------------------------------- Everything that happens to you in life is your teacher.
