What is Freefly?
Freefly is a challenging Skydiving discipline and can be defined as the art of human 3D flight.
​
After building a solid belly-to-earth flight, you can start to learn to fly in other orientations.
​
The learning process usually starts in a back-to-earth orientation (Back-fly) moving to a vertical sit or stand position (Head-up) and then upside down (Head-down).
As your skills improve, you will realize that you can fly all angles and positions between head-up and head-down.

Freefly Training
The freefly training is divided into Safety Knowledge, Basic and Advanced Freefall Skills.
​
The basic freefall skills are the same regardless of the position you are learning. They are the foundations to enable you to jump safely with other skydivers.
​
After achieving the basics, you can start to learn advanced maneuvers or move to the next position.
​
The training fulfills all the requirements for "BS" Skydivers to earn the FF1, FF2 stickers.
FF1 = Head-up
FF2 = Head-down
