The Basic 4 - Head Down and The Inability To Generate Lift From The Legs

Fourth episode of the mini-series "Most common limitations" when learning to fly one of the 4 basic static position.
In this episode, I'm covering "Static head down" and the consequence of not generating enough lift from the legs.

Thank you so much! The views will come over time! I enjoy the process of creating and I hope I'll be able to produce more soon!

For the first time I saw teaching training outside of the wind tunnel. This is very helpful for expensive wind tunnel training. hope you keep sharing

I'm glad it help! I'm planning on posting more soon! stay tuned!

Thank you for the explanations and strengthening exercises, I will try! After a few painful hours I fly slowly in the shelf position without forcing too much and I pass the HU>HD transition, but I will still be able to strengthen myself. On the other hand, I started in the daffy position and for the moment I lack the energy in my legs to take off with a weaker wind (normal, I don't have good control yet..), I manage to do it twice in one session and then I'm out :/

[@bodyflightspotlight]

It's a great start! Et puis, pour plusieurs, c'est difficile de lift en position daffy! Encore plus pour les boys un peu raide qui manque de flexibilité puisqu'on travail contre le vent, mais aussi notre propre tension musculaire! haha Double effort!

[@cotcotpouetpouet]

pour la jambe arrière je trouve qu'en plus on a pas l'habitude de mobilier en même temps le muscle fessier pour pousser la jambe en arrière, et le muscle ischio-jambier pour ramener le talon vers soi: dans d'autres sports on fait l'un ou l'autre sur certains mouvements, mais rarement les deux en simultané, et ça n'est pas une posture qu'on maintient longtemps comme en soufflerie.

@@cotcotpouetpouet très très vrai! L'extension de la hanche en même temps que l'extention de la jambe n'est pas naturel du tout et doit être pratiquer pour en arriver a obtenir la position désiré! Encore une fois, des heures dans le tunnel ou des minutes en dehors, c'est à nous de choisir haha

Is 20 hours enough for learning head down?

[@bodyflightspotlight]

Most definitely! If you're not capable of staility and the basic motion (up, down, turns, forward and backward) after 3-4hours you should change coach lol

@@bodyflightspotlight now I am stable in mid air on head down but never tried up down and let right ...and bought 20 more hours on discount.. Your last line really funny 😂🤣
