surf4life11 0 #1 May 10, 2004 Went down to Gold Coast and got some coaching jumps in and began my new freefly addiction. I was taught to sit with a wide stance and I currently maintain my speed pretty well and do not backslide at all. This is after 8 sit jumps. I can hold the sit for about 85 percent of the jump. When should I bring my legs in a little bit or should I at all to get more of the natural sit position? I am in no hurry to progress as fast as I can and still do RW work to maintain my flying skills there as well but I am all about freeflying and just want to be as good as I can be and as safe in the air as well. I do not have any coaches at my DZ most of the time and usually they are on staff for the day so most of my jumps are solo and if I am lucky another freeflyer will be out at the DZ so any advice is welcome. Freeflying rocks!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After more jumps, you'll find your comfort zone, but remember that a wide stance produces stability. 45-90 degrees is a good range. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
