Skydiving Music Video – Freeflying

Check out this music video by PLANET FUNK which illustrates the beauty and magic of freeflying.

Freeflying is a skydiving discipline which adds to the traditional belly-to-earth positions, vertical flight situations where the flyer is in an upright position or in an inverted position (falling head first). These positions can increase freefall speeds considerably and in addition to that make new types of formations possible.

A freeflyer, in order to fully understand the aerodynamic power of the body in freefall, needs to first learn to control all of the skydiving forms: in the box position , which are belly-to-earth and back flying. These positions are usually not held for the duration of the full skydive. Freeflying involves constant transitions in position and speeds, with vertical and horizontal orientations.

Have a close look at the video to see what its all about:
