Just started making progress on backflying. It's been a rough start for me. I started last summer and then stopped when I started AFF. DZ is closed for a few more weeks so I've been at it. Saturday I learned if you hammer yourself at the gym everyday it's probably not a great idea to schedule tunnel time. After just a few rotations I had to switch to sitfly drills because my delts were on fire😂 Love seeing the progress!!

This was good! Your control in the sit-fly position gets better each time. I love the back-fly recovery at the end! I am still having issues with my back-flying. I can get aloft, but I am not as stable as I need to be yet. Watching your stable back-flying at the end... I can see how I am doing something different which might be affecting my stability. Can't wait until my next lesson to try and make the corrections. Keep going forward on your iFLY journey!

You probably get better tips from your coach, but I'd say, get some more upper body lift and some momentum upwards before pulling your knees in. Having some ascending movement makes it less scary and more wind pressure on your chest takes care of half of the transition.

Thing that made them click for me was over exaggerating the amount I brought my up toward my chest with knees wide apart as if you’re knee flying, particularly belly to back, then holding that position until I was in stable back fly. Back to belly was the same plus exaggerating the feeling of leading with my chest and leaving my head behind, if you get what I mean.

Tag in the tunnel looks fun, never saw anyone do that before (not that I saw all that much tunnel flying in the first place aside from the place I worked at). Also neat tunnel design, don't see actually round design all that often. From what I've seen most tunnels are octagons or decagon or some such.
