head up/ feet first atmonauti

Recommended Posts

i'm just getting into a bit of amonauti and i'm wondering how many people have managed to succesfully fly atmonauti in a head up/feet first position?

i've seen gi do it in videos feet first belly up and she told me that a guy in holland can do it feet first belly down.

still looks like a steep tracking dive to me.. ;)

feet first tracks are very cool... Ive seen Omar and Andy F transition back and forth like it was nothing.... :o

cool, now you have to add a TM and insist that is it "really really different" from anything that has come before...


i don't get your point, there 'is' a comercial tandem atmonauti operation. for first timers, it is slower (vertically) than ordanary drouge fall.

are you trying to say that atmonauti is not different to tracking?

I think by TM he means Trademark.

***oh how silly of me:$

its just a name. amosphere navigation. that is what it is.

tracking sounds too limited.

...and atmosphere navigator was a far leep from atmosphere dolphin... *ahem!* ;)

Funny, though, when asked on a plane what I'm doing, I just find it easier to say atmonauti, and people (most?) know what I mean, as opposed to "steap tracking" or whatever.

"atmosphere navigator" is just too loose of a term, to me, though - it doesn't relate in a logical way to "45 degree tracking". Someone who doesn't know what atmonauti means isn't going to intuit what it is from the term...

.. but, whatever ;)

Tandem atmonauti is mental,

I did camera on an 8 way with Tandem Atmonauti Jump at the Atmonauti pro boogie, the Photo's are not great as it was a late load so lighting was not good.

The Atmo Tandem is way slower than a normal drogueless tandem, and moves forward like you would not believe.

In tracking you don't normally do 3D foot, foot-to-back, hand docks, flying in layers etc. For me atmo is that - creative vertical/horizontal relative work in an angle that allows it. Without the difficulties and limitations of headdown or "traditional" track.

Atmo seems rarely be 45 deg, its more like 30 deg or less (especially with Gi :) ). I was doing average 156 km/h per pro-track. Falling on belly or "tracking" would be at least 185 km/h.


Jezz - how are you man? Where do I see u next?

I don't know... It is the only relative work that happens not in fall, but in flight. You can dock with a person while you are directly above them, without falling on them (thank to fast glide and displaced burble)

Using your logic, HD is no different from belly RW. We fall, we crack points. Bodyparts point in different direction.. oh, so what;)

Not true. Flocking and tracking have/are relative work. The point is that, calling something "atmosphere navigation" does not imply 45 degree angled flight, vs. flocking or tracking. It doesn't imply anything.

Should we call tracking relative work something different?

Although, if you think about it, tracking doesn't imply it's angle by definition either. Nor does flocking. So, really, I guess if you want to call it atmonauti, or flockmitdocki, or airflying, it doesn't really matter...

... I'll bow out now, and call it whatever I feel like on any given day...

It's just that the term is meaningless (to me) to what it actually is...


get over it mate,

they(gi & marco) defined and refined it so they can name it as they please.

the section on thier dvd when they were flying relative to the aircraft while the aircraft was flying the angle.(no drouge, prop spinning)is fucking amazing.
they even docked with the aircraft.

atmonauti is a perfect name, it has only just begun and will influence skydiving in ways we can't even imagine yet.

hmm sounds like your average 'skilled tracker' dive to me... but oh well... [:/]

no not really it is more amusing to see those who are all puffed up about 'inventing' something new...

but i am a firm believer in not creating excessive, unnecessary new terminology for pre-existing activities just so you can claim "revolution" and pretend you invented something...

maybe we should start calling every skydive "aerosphere navigation" and pretend its "totally different" from anything that comes before..

ps... unless your also going to be doing it in on Venus, Mars etc... you should be using "Aeronauti" .... but i guess that didnt meet the 'coolness' criteria....
