What is Freeflying?

[ASullivan 0]

I'm new to the sport and want to know what exactly freeflying is?

'Freeflying' is a form of freefalling, but unlike flying just belly to earth in the standard freefall position taught when you first learn to skydive, you can fall in every position imaginable.

Years ago the natural progression of someones skydiving career led them to 'formation skydiving'. Freefly developed as an 'escape' from the rules and competitive nature of formations, and focussed on solely having fun in freefall!

Although now freefly has become a competitive form of jumping aswell, with rules and a structure to it.

Read through this forum to find out a bit more on what you can get up to while freeflying.....

See: Olav Zipser, i think it's school of human flight. He's in Italy, might still be in Deland, till he goes back. check out his sight. Not easy to learn, starts with sit flying. Or shall I say starts with corking.

Have fun

Olav's website is www.1olav.com, it's certainly worth a look.

Take risks not to escape life but to prevent life from escaping

It used to be called "unstable"

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Freeflying is total body flight, it is flying on your belly, flying on your back, flying head down, flying head up, flying on angles (autmonauti) and tracking...so to answer your question, it is everything :)
