Belly flying training video

[Ronaldo 0]

Does anybody have video showing belly flying training in the tunnel? I have booked 2hs (coached) at Perris Skyventure for next week and would like to have an idea of how it will be. I have 300 jumps and almost no RW experience (except for 10 BBF jumps). Although my major discipline is freeflying I feel that I really need to improve my RW skills (today I just switch to my belly to deploy).
Few questions (ok, I know it all depends on my skills):
- I have a brand new custom RW suit (with booties), can I start the training with it? I have made only 10 jumps with a RW suit with booties (during the BBF training).
- Is a 2 hour coached (1 on 1) session enough to develop good skills to jump a 4-way (or video it) and participate safely in a big formation?

I’ll be discussing these questions (and a lot more) with my coach during this week but just would like to know what other people might feel about it.

Safe skies,

Ronaldo

Great choice to get your booties and hire a coach for 2 hours. (Hopefully spread out over a couple days)

Hope you are fit.

Don't worry about the video, if you have the coach you'll do fine.

Go to tunnelcamp.com and under Airspeed camps go to coaches corner and you can see their curriculum. They have videos of the drills being demonstrated at the bottom of the home page.
As far as using your new suit absolutely you should use it, just use caution entering the tunnel the first few times until you get used to the added drive.
Two hours is an excellent start, pace yourself and rest in between sessions so that your learning curve stays steep.

that's a really nice resource

Thanks Kirk, that is exactly what I was looking for! I did most of these drills during the BBF jumps but I really need to practice them a lot more. I’ll be spreading these 2 hours through 2 days of training but also sharing time with a 4-way team, hope this is not excessively tiring.
Just another question: I tend to float a lot (on my belly and also free flying), should I wear weights during training or shouldn’t I bother with this at the beginning?

Start without. If you find you are working at the end of your fast fall range then add weight accordingly.
