Head down progression 2 hour (7 hour total tunnel)

[@ipKonfig]

Ha, I was just in the tunnel today! Slow progression but building confidence and learning the skill to progress into one of the greatest sports known to man kind!

100%

thank you for this vid i am about to start head down and i am very nervious but this calmed me a bit

[@jwillard911]

Great job! Keep putting in the work.

[@flybeep1661]

7 hours total?? Damn that must have cost you pretty dime since one hour tunnel time comes at about 1000 dollars/euros depending where you went.

[@0dteESmini]

5 hours and already on head down? thats pretty fast isnt it

[@n9was]

would it be faster to learn head down in the sky first? from my experience learning sit is that sky allows you to get your basic form pretty quickly since you can be all over the place and don't waste time on bails, and then you can improve control in the tunnel (plus you get your canopy skills up too)

[@Gracedobosz]

Regardless how you do it, in the tunnel you still have to learn all the bails and gain trust from the instructors that you won't kill yourself. You can't learn static head down properly in a reasonable amount of time without the tunnel IMHO. It's the only place you will be forced to mange safety and proximity and ability to transition on level and on heading, which are required if you are going to freefly with other people - particularly in a group >2. Bails are ESSENTIAL for group freefly so you don't kill each other at 150 MPH, they are never a waste of time - they are a fundamental of freeflying. Also learning sit in the sky does not equate to sit in the tunnel, but it does in reverse.

Hi. How much time you spent before tunnel?

[@Drifterteetea]

Seems like your head is really far back to avoid a forward drive but widening the legs a little a straightening the front leg a little wouldve allowed a more natural head position imo

[@CandraDay]

That's a bummer that you spent so much time on the net. I feel the learning is more efficient and productive off of the net.

[@Drifterteetea]

I don't agree. Being able to feel the drives on the net low speed is an important foundation before off the net and high wind speeds.

[@CandraDay]

@@Drifterteetea Depends on your goal and how much you are willing to spend on tunnel time.

[@goodorigin]

@@Drifterteetea nah

[@rovshangarayev3274]

Well done :) I am going to start learning head down in in 3 weeks, hope it will not take 7 hours as well))
