base754 0 #1 February 11, 2008 Can someone please explain to me the proper technique for side-sliding in a wing suit. I have about a 150 wing suit jumps, but they are all solos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 73 #2 February 11, 2008 There are basicaly two techniques to do so. You can put some gentle presure on both arm and legwing on the opposing side, at the same time. This causes your wingsuit to slighly tilt, and slide one way. But this should be an almost subliminal move. Only 'thinking' it is practicaly enough to do so. This sideslide technique is be quite big/broad, and can be used to close a conciderable gap between you and another flyer. The second technique resembled what people do to steer/manouvre under a hangglider. Use your hips to manouver inside your suit. Putting a little pressure on with your pelvic bone (the little pointy bit that sticks out). Using suble pelvic controlls, you will be able to sideslip quite precise within formations. Its the same pelvic moves up and down that will help you with subtle level differences. Though flapping/opening/closing of wings also works, it usually causes irratic and big moves within a formation.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
