back-tracking

[Pasha 0]

Hi! I was tracking on my back today and suddenly started swinging, with my legs going up and down, up and down. Has anything similar happend to any of you? How to cure this rock'n'roll? :))

Were you leaning back over to look at the ground or way back to look at the horizon? If you were you could have been diving, leaving your feet flapping like an unstable headdown.

Sounds like potato chipping to me. Just like being too stiff on your belly. To correct this relax a little and push your back down into the air. This should get you stable again and then slowly work at getting into a back down arch.

Ups. By the way, “… Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and ANGER (!) are the reasons that a gull’s life is so short, and with these gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed…”

That’s not only for that case…

Try opening your legs some as well to track flatter and allow for air to pass thru, making you more stable. This helps you from chipping
