Tracking feet first

[jayach05 0]

I was at a boogie this past weekend and I saw a video of a couple of jumpers tracking relative to each other. One of the jumpers then did half a flip and continued to track feet first while keeping relative to the jumper who's tracking normal. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? If you know some links to some video, that would help out.

It's steeper than a track but same concept. Never seen anyone transition to this position but would imagine it to be pretty awesome.

Did I actually just see an atmo, drogue-less tandem being done in this video too? Right around the 2:40 - 3:00 marks?

Wow.

Some pretty awesome, talented flying going on in all aspects, in that video right there. Thanks for sharing that link!

Look some transition made by Gigliola: she was one of the first italian (maybe the first) to track feet first and to insert the position in a free routine

you should check out flocking dives too. it is basically head down tracking. super vertical and super fast. tried to find some video on the internet but they all sucked.

There are so many run of the mill, middling videos on the net. Some are poorly shot, some have crappy music, etc, but that's one of the best videos Ive seen in a while.
