To quote Olav, "Freeflying is the art of maneuvering in the sky in every possible way, direction, rotation and speed in control and with anticipation of the next move."

Generally sitflying and headdown flying are what is considered freeflying but by definition freeflying would encompass all aspects of relative work.

Freeflying is fun.

freeflying is many, many things but, most importantly, a digital video camera is required for any type of freeflying. :D

seriously though, the poster above me covered it very succinctly.

Ok the freeflying question was answered but here's the answer for the next two.

Skyride- is practically a scam do a search for the name.

Swooping is when those bad ass skydivers who fly little handkerchief sized canopies and do nice little "swoop" throught the landing area, 1/2inch above a lake or any other designated target.
( doesn't have to be a tiny caonpy but it helps)

go check out this site and type in swooping and freeflying. you'll learn ALOT

skyride? - the thing people like to rant about on dz.com but I have never heard mentioned elsewhere, not even once.

freeflying? - it's what people learn to do when they get fed up or bored with flying around in the pull-position.

swoooping? - it's what the latest generation of skydivers do to piss off the last generation and generally frequently injure themselves while doing so.
