Just a few thoughts by someone who has been away from the sport for 10 years. I just made 4 jumps this last weekend at a drop-zone within an hours drive from my home after not jumping for the past 10 years. First of all the commardie-ship has not changed one bit. The friendly helpful fellow skydivers made me feel welcomed back to a sport that can only be fully appreciated by actively participating in it. However I was surprised to see that "freefly" has been the activity of choice for many that are now participating in skydiving and that RW is now called "belly flying". I'm curious about this change of freefall style. Have all the records been accomplished in RW? Is freeflying the next frontier in skydiving record setting? And if so, can higher and higher number record settings be accomplished? Also I'm curious about he history of "freeflying". Is this a spin-off of "freestyle"? There seems to be more variety in what can be enjoyed while falling through the air. I wonder what the next ten years has in store for this sport?
