sitfly docking?

[whatthehell 0]

What is the proper way to take a dock on someone's foot in front of you while sitflying? Do you compensate by putting the other arm farther behind you?

not sure about that as I'm no expert freeflier...but what I do is just turn my body so i'm presenting from the side so I can take the dock without having to move my arms.

I can do that but I want to learn to take a dock right in front of me.

There is a lot of diffrent ways to do docks. You can counter with your legs, your back, your shoulders, head and your arms. Countering with your arms though will really limit you in the long run though once you start taking more than one dock at a time. Find a good coach in your area who can show you ways to take docks.

I try to compensate with my legs.

Another advice is, try to fly with your arm in front of you, like you'd be holding a grip. after you can fly straight in that position (compensanting with whatever you prefer, back, legs, other hand,...), try to move (forward, backwards, sideways, up, down,..) in the same position...

When you master this, i think you'll have no problem "flying a dock"
