jasonRose 0 #1 February 7, 2007 Why do you have to go through all the belly stuff if you really want to freefly? Why don't they start you out freeflying? Just curious. Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdog 0 #2 February 7, 2007 Because every position in freefly has to have a "bail out"... Like in a sit, you "cork" to your back when you "lose balance". If you can't back fly, then you are screwed. If you have not mastered the bail outs, then you have nothing to bail out too... Oh... And, because "belly stuff" is just one orientation of "freefly"... Freefly is not "every position but belly."Seriously - the masters of the tunnel will fly on their belly to the top, transition to a sit and come down, transition to their head, flip onto their back and fly out the door landing on their feet... If you can't do belly, you can't do one of those cool tricks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squarecanopy 0 #3 February 10, 2007 Well said Travis! I am just now getting a decent sitfly in the tunnel, and it sure is nice with the air turned up high to have an "out" when I screw up in a sit. Just burning a hole in the sky..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
