===Sit flying=== [[File:Freefly (Manaus-Brasil) 2.JPG|240px|thumb|right|Freeflyer flying a sit in Manaus, Brasil.]] '''Sit flying''' is called such because it looks similar to the position taken while sitting in a chair. For flying a sit, the feet are oriented toward the relative wind and 90-degree bends are maintained at the knees, hips, and shoulders. To move around, the flyer redirects the airflow in the opposite direction the jumper wants to go. [[Sir Isaac Newton|Newtonian]] mechanics then push the flyer in the desired direction. Fall rate changes (descending faster or slower) can also be made.
