GeordieSkydiver 0 #1 April 30, 2005 After many many (too many) attempts at sit flying, I have finally cracked it. All it took was 80 minutes in the tunnel and a few coached jumps and advice from Chris Fiala at Elsinore. Now if I can just crack that cartwheel to head down, I'll be set... PS. If anyone is interested, it was not being positive enough with my feet that was screwing me up...Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dharma1976 0 #4 May 2, 2005 yeah, I did a jump with someone the other day that was so un- agressive with his legs that his knees were way up and making him unstable, I kept giving him the hand signals to push down on his feet, but he ignored them...it was definately work to stay with him as he was all over the place with his speed and back sliding ;) as far as the head down cartwheel...start by doing this...(it worked for me recently.... start doing full cartwheels and full front and back loops... do it solo, do it with others (just be safe) get really good at those, and being really relative to others...and docking and whatnot...then the head down cartwheels just takes doing a large block of jumps in a short amount of time to get good at... (no weekend warrioring, just knock out a whole bunch take a vacation or something ;) ) good luck man Davehttp://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
