Up (slow fall) is achieved by extending legs behind and arms out in front (like lying in the sun) with a de-arch at the hips like somebody has punched you in the stomach. Keep the head looking to the side to help the de-arch at the waist. 4, record 1, English, - slow%20fall
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Yes, you have to change your body position in an aggressive manner to the degree that it changes your fall rate, but I've also found that everything (even slow-fall) comes easier when I'm relaxed, calm, and emotionless. 2, record 1, English, - slow%20fall

On ne peut pas prétendre réellement qu'une partie du corps telle que le buste, sert uniquement à donner un taux de chute lent, ou qu'une autre partie telle que les jambes, sert uniquement à avancer. C'est en fait un tout, le corps entier doit s'engager dans une recherche de taux de chute minimal et dans une recherche de vitesse horizontale maximale. 1, record 1, French, - taux%20de%20chute%20lent
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les grandes formations ont tendance à avoir un taux de chute faible : plus il y a de monde, moins le taux de chute est élevé. 2, record 1, French, - taux%20de%20chute%20lent
