davelepka 4 #4 July 2, 2008 It's the same way you slow down in any freefall position - show some more surface area to the relative wind. Bending at the knees is one way, and it will have some side effects. Opening your arms also works, and has different side effects. You have to try all sorts if different things, and see how it goes. Once you get a feel for the different techniques, you can use the one that will best suit the situation at hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been trying different things and just wanted to ask to determine if there are things I haven't tried yet or things that are tried and true. I appreciate the ideas in this thread ..."That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
