Pendragon 1 #28 August 16, 2006 Everyone is different. Try dipping one shoulder or extending one leg as a starting point. The key is to keep your back straight and not twist your spine as you'll catch the air asymmetrically and, usually, end up on your back, or at least facing off your initial heading. You can quite clearly see this in a FF student if you get coaching and/or video. If you're not getting it, seek coaching before common mistakes develop into bad habits; the video debrief will help a lot, and having a fixed point of reference in the sky with you will help you focus and not twist. Try not to make the transition too fast if you're aiming to do half-cartwheels. Extending one then the other leg worked for me; something different may work for you. Extend, but don't lock out, your legs - they should be relaxed. Richard-- BASE #1182 Muff #3573 PFI #52; UK WSI #13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
