Now we know you want to do a flip. Flips are fun, but they take a bit more practice than you might expect. Check out some tricks below and the average number of visits needed to accomplish them:
The first skill set you'll need to learn is how to fly stable in the wind tunnel without an instructor holding you. Once you’ve mastered staying still in this position you can start practicing moving around the tunnel.
To move around the tunnel, you’ll need to learn how to turn your body left and right. In the wind tunnel, slight arm movements are enough to start and stop your turns. Learn to do a full 360 degree turn, and how to start and stop spinning.
To change your level inside the tunnel, you’ll practice adjusting the arch in your body and extending your arms and legs. Slight movements in your body such as these will allow you to move up and down.
Flips and twists may take longer than you might think to learn, but the wait is more than worth it. Once your instructor decides you're ready, you'll start learning the advanced tricks you may have seen instructors or advanced flyers doing. Then there's a never ending progression of fun, exciting tricks to challenge yourself with!
