Ron 10 #26 July 30, 2003 QuoteThis will become an interesting question for wingsuits, I think, because wingsuit flyers typically fly away from the DZ then head back to the same area that everyone else is using. I think with a wingsuit that it is not such a large issue since WS fliers can see the open canopies, and fly around them if they have to. But I could be wrong."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hkf 0 #27 August 29, 2003 QuoteRook Nelson once told me - learn all aspects of sit and stand before headdown, it'll make the transition easier. I figure he probably knows more than me so I take his word for it. I've got about 80 HD jumps now, which I started after about 150 head up jumps. It was explained to me by Chris Lynch (FF Training Centre Sebastian) that the reason to do the head up first, apart from a good recovery position is that you get used to the initial body position when in a stand. i.e. no arch in body and good head position.
