WrongWay 0 #1 October 29, 2004 A while back I made a post about the idea of freefly. This is nothing more than a continuation of that post, and a friendly reminder to keep your mind open and free. When learning to freefly, people often get stuck with this idea that the definition of freefly is "to fly in any vertical position". They get this from seeing/hearing nothing but "sit" and "head down" from the experienced flyers at their dz. These are not static positions, people. It's not about being vertical, nor about being upright or inverted. The definition of freefly is flying on all axis, on every surface of your body. Only seeing the vertical will limit you to your feet and your head. To truly be free, you must use every surface, every position, every orientation. Don't limit yourself to static ideas of positions and orientations. Experiment with different angles, different positions, different ways to get your body to go where you want it to. Be free. And now for your freefly moment of zen........"Now that you know about body position, you must now understand that there is no body position"......."There is no fall rate"......"Breeeeathe"......."Free your mind"........"Think of where you want to go, not how to get there"........."Be lazy, like a cat"........."Relax, chickenfucker"........ Okay, I'm done, carry on. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #2 October 29, 2004 Yup! and it is interesting to see that some of the worlds top freefly personal are working on a different than just vertical plane right. I see a lot the moves we are use to seeing straight down the tube taken on angles ranging from flocking to atmonuati to full track and back. Some say this is the future.
