Handling height changes during 3D movements is just one example. Of course the best terrain to train and develop the basic skills is the wind tunnel. There we have a safe environment without the stress of freefall and we can practice drills in a much more efficient way and better use our resources. The result will be a higher output up in the sky and more scores on the board.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Of course free fall is important also to adjust your fall rate and learn to exit the plane. But, my main point is, most competitive skydivers put too much focus training always in formation and skip one-on-one because they think it is not necessary any more. Whereas, if you focus on developing really excellent flying skills, your team performance will greatly improve.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Become independent from a draw<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>At the end the result is that a team should become independent from any draw because of the capabilities to fly every transition in the best possible way, based on the references briefed during creeping on the ground.
