BoostedXT 0 #1 May 30, 2005 This is my 2nd attempt at sit flying, initial time ever seeing it on film. I havent had any coaching on it yet, but who knows... I was a bit squirly here and there but I think I did pretty well. Thanks for Canuckin USA for the video work and the breakdown after..thoughts?

AggieDave 6 #2 May 31, 2005 Right on! I'm sure the Canuck talked to you about leg position and keeping your legs still as well as sitting up (back) a little more, assuming that both of those were giving you problems. Its fun, huh? After you've gotten a grasp of turns, movement, cartwheels and flips you need to do my pull-up chord dive. Take a pull-up chord with you, pass it back and forth between your hands. Once you can fly that with smooth deliberate movements without moving around, you'll be able to take nearly any and every dock you wish while sit flying.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

BoostedXT 0 #4 May 31, 2005 LOL yeah.... One of the things we did was.....if it looked good he gave me the sign to spin. I spun left and stayed stable, but waaaay over rotated and went 720 instead of 360....lol. I did do a sideways flip thing right back into a sit....that I was pretty pumped about. And as Steve said on the trailor back... "nothing 10,000 more skydives cant solve."

goose491 0 #9 June 1, 2005 If you held it upright, and those pictures are what you looked like for most of the jump, and it's your second attempt... You Rock Dude!!! If the two shots are more or less the body position you are holding, you are likely backsliding a bit. Note you are leaning forward a tiny bit, pushing air forward of you and pushing you aft. Balance an imaginary book on your head. Try to get your head atop your neck, squared with the shoulders, line your spine up with that to sit upright and you are laughing! (well, even more than you appear to be in the picutures. lol) Nice job man! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoostedXT 0 #10 June 2, 2005 Yeah I held that spot for about the first 1000FT or so then I spun 360 left and just kept on going...haha. I couldnt stop the darn thing, so I just kept looking at where I wanted to stop and it stopped me...lol....I remember going, "hey there is canuck, shit...there goes canuck, oh there he is again....waaaaaiiiiitttt...stop f'ing spining in circles dumb ass." lol I did have a few spots I can remember going....oh wait...about to flip, no dont catch it, oh shit oh shit.,.....ahhhh saved it. haha, but for the most part is was similar to that....som foot flailing thrown in too..... My thoughts when trying a sit is feet to earth, soals flat...straight back with good posture and head up....there where times in this jump and the previous one when the only air I feel is on my feet, under side of the thigh, under of my arms and hands.....nothing on the chest or above my thighs...is that good? Or is that royally F'd? Thanks for the tips!
