Freeflying represents the evolution of body flight. Not content confined to a belly to earth orientation, freeflying expands the realm of possibilities to all potential orientations. This includes, but is not limited to, back to earth, vertical orientations including feet or head to earth, and angled body positions moving across the sky like a wing. These body positions encompass a wide range of speeds and potential energies. They are not limited to falling straight down to the earth, but rather encourage making use of the multi-dimensional sky, moving both laterally and vertically. In order to safely, efficiently and mindfully pilot your body in these advanced orientations, coaching is highly recommended. Freeflying exists competitively in the form of artistic freeflying, freestyle, vertical formation skydiving, and mixed formation skydiving.
Since August of 2006, Andy Malchiodi has operated the Elsinore Echelon Freefly School. He has coached countless individuals, beginners and professionals alike. He has coached all levels of teams from novice “weekend warriors” to national champions. His technically minded style and calm demeanor leaves each student feeling relaxed and confident. To this day, he still coaches, and also relies on a staff of coaches to assist him. Reservations are highly recommended as no guarantee can be made to a coach’s availability without a reservation.
