jimbellew 0 #1 February 16, 2005 When I'm sitflying in the tunnel I've got my legs out and back arched catching as much air as I can to keep me flying however when I want to go backwards by leaning forward I tend to sink. Do I need to de-arch when I lean forward to keep me up? Or is there another method to keep me sinking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeedToJump 0 #2 February 16, 2005 The short answer is to lean forward more so you're catching more air on your torso. I'd recommend either going with a coach or ask the tunnel rat who is in there with you next time.Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure you're not arcking at the hips (it's a big foward drive), but also make sure you're not leaning ove your knees. Push your heels foward as well.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
