Bodyflight Basics, broken down into every element by SDC Rhythm:
1. Neutral
Body Flight 1 – Basic Body Position and Range of Motion
JaNette describes the neutral FS body position, the building block for all other moves. Master a good, symmetrical, head-high position and everything else is easy from here.
2. Up/Down
Body Flight 2 – Slow Fall and Fast Fall
JaNette explains and demos how to use the arms, head, legs, hips, butt and gut to change fall rate.
3. Forwards/Backwards
Body Flight 3 – Forward and Backwards
Moving forwards and backwards, always keeping the arms in front. JaNette explains how to use arms and legs for optimal effect, and the principle of Start – Coast – Stop, which applies to virtually every freefall move.
4. Sideslides
Body Flight 4 – Sideslides
Using input from all limbs, and remembering Start- Coast- Stop – Neutral, demoed and explained by JaNette.
5. Turns 1: Mechanics
Body Flight 5 – Turns Part 1: Mechanics
JaNette describes how to turn on center. Creating a balanced input with arms and legs – just like sideslides but with opposite limbs.
6. Turns 2: Pictures
Body Flight – Turns Part 2: Pictures
Steve describes and Christy demos how to turn on center using the proper references. Defining checkpoints and headswitch through the turn to confirm we’re on track to complete our move in place.
7. Tunnel Drill
Body Flight 7 – Drill: Half Star, Side Slide to Bipole
JaNette describes a simple 2-way drill for practicing sideslides and turns. Building a half-star and half-bipole picture, focussing on good stops and 90 degree angles.
