grega 0 #2 March 24, 2005 Just turn with your head (look where you wanna turn) and the rest of the body will folow. Well at least that works for me in head up and head down."George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wavelength 0 #4 April 14, 2005 What works for me in HD is bending the leg opposite to the turn, at the knee to deflect a bit of air. No doubt either of the above posted methods will work. You tend to go where you're looking, and twisting your shoulders and torso will twist everything else until you're realigned. But twisting and turning doesn't seem to follow all the thinking of flying your body efficiently. The flight control surfaces are still mainly legs and arms, no? Mostly legs to keep the arms free for docks. My biggest concern with learning to initiate a turn simply by turning your head is that, for me, docks to the side, like a vertical compressed, turn into sloppy guesswork if they are performed blind. -Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
78RATS 0 #5 April 14, 2005 Lay on the floor like your flying Froggy. Press down on the ground with you leg and hand on one side. Repeat in air, kepping legs wide. You will spin quickly and on axis. Learned this from Sean Simon-Orbit Punks. Works like a charm. Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
