Learning to Fly

As in all new things, the first taste of body flight can be challenging. To be suspended in a column of air puts individuals in a new space of existence where gravity no longer prevails! This new sensation requires new learning to figure out how to fly with control. The more time one spends in the wind tunnel the more comfortable individuals become. Like learning to ride a bike, the more you practice, the better you become until you’re able to ride without even thinking about it. This is the same for indoor skydiving and is why young children take to it so naturally.
