Polorutz 0 #1 October 3, 2014 Hiya guys. I've started head down in the tunnel and can fly close to other jumpers no problems. Most of my friends at the DZ can only sitfly though so I end up using them as reference. Problem is, I almost always end up low no matter how big I make my daffy. I've seen video of Olav Zipzer head down with belly flyers so I know it's possible, any tips? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamUK 3 #3 October 5, 2014 I can fly shelf more slowly than in daffy. Once you learn how to carve you will be able to fly even more slowly and slow yourself down with the sitflyers in the sky. Your friends should speed up, though, if the plan includes you doing HD flying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayhawkJumper 0 #5 October 16, 2014 Generally people that are just learning to sit fly have a slower fall rate as well because they are usually flying heavily on their arms. Lots of ways to speed up sit flying… any of them know how to stand? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
