Fighting and forcing your way into a body position that makes you look like an FS competitor? The key is to take control with the lower body so you can achieve it naturally—*effortlessly*, even!
In this video, AXIS Flight School Instructor Brianne Thompson demonstrates the advanced belly neutral position...and we hand out some pro tips to get you there a little faster.

🪂 What actually separates good bodyflight athletes from great ones?
It's not how many jumps you have. It's not raw talent. It's whether you understand the instrument you're flying—your own body. How you 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 that body is foundational.
AXIS Flight School's own Nik Daniel has written one of the most thought-provoking pieces on skydiving fitness you've ever seen: in @BritishSkydiving 's Skydive the Mag. Not gym aesthetics. Not generic strength training. A genuine philosophy of physical skill, built around four pillars that directly shape what you can do in freefall and in the tunnel.
Strength. Speed. Stamina. Flexibility. Each one has a direct impact on your capabilities in the air, and most of us are only training one or two of them—if that.
This is the read we wish existed when we were chasing those "elusive moments of flow." Link below—highly recommend clearing 10 minutes and giving it your full attention.

Back-fly got you feeling like a flipped turtle? 🐢🔄 We got your, well, *back*. Yes, the key is to relax—but to relax in the right places. Here's how.
In this video, Brianne Thompson and Niklas Daniel of AXIS Flight School demonstrate how to perform the neutral backfly position over Skydive Arizona (and in the Skyventure Arizona indoor skydiving wind tunnel). Enjoy!

You're an experienced, current jumper. You land *in*...mostly. But a stiff wind sock (or a flat one) makes you sweat a lil' bit, and you end up doing a lot of finger-crossing when you jump at new DZs...
Let's fix that.
The Advanced Accuracy course was made for you. It'll get you building the pattern discipline, wind-reading skill, and target consistency that turns a good canopy pilot into a *precise* one.
Particularly valuable for those who have recently completed their USPA B-License Canopy Proficiency Card and are ready to build purposefully on that foundation.
Only two slots left for the May 2nd course—one of just two this year!
