iRieFrEefALL 0 #6 September 27, 2005 As far as boogies go. . . . not sure yet. there is a speedstar @hollister in a few weeks. We'll see. I think i need to build a little more confidence in my flying abilities first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry. Nice setup! Yeah man, freeflying rocks, but let me give you a wod of advice, spend another 40 jumps on your belly, learn how to track like a bad ass mo fo, master some skills and then get out there and fly freefly HARD! I started freefly right off of student status (at around 30 jumps) and today, believe it or not, i regret it. Especially now that i'm trying to fly tandem camera, a lot of which happens on your belly. RW is a skill that will stand you in good stead later. No worries about that beer!

iRieFrEefALL 0 #10 September 30, 2005 thanks for the advice peej. I'm definitely going to work on my belly flying some more. A TON of people have told me the same thing you have about freeflying. I've even talked to some FF peeps who say they have "forgotten" how to belly fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
