Can You Follow?

Ibro came to visit us at city skydive. I donated 15 minutes of my time for us to share and fly together. I agreed to fly together on one condition, if he could keep up! :P
I like to talk about the domesticated flyer in the sense of one that stays very much within a formalized structure. I found a lot of satisfaction in learning the formulised structures but after some time I found myself feeling in a looping cycle, I didn't move anywhere anymore. A big part of my progression has always been about moving towards the uncomfortable areas and pressures to try to discover something that I do not know yet. I see a lot of flyers following already achieved skills without the unknown awareness of potential findings that wait in the uncomfortable areas of flight. Like in every day life we can get comfortable in a routine and the more we run through it the harder it is to break out of it. I see this a lot with people in the flying world. And I love to make these people uncomfortable again! Some people respond well and find a lot of interest and curiosity in what awaits for them to find and others take a burn, an ego deflation.

After discovering his own ability to fly he began to explore deeper. Ryan Christie is an active flying enthusiast, coach, instructor, trainer, competitor, mentor and philosopher. With his imaginative creativity and years of experience Ryan has developed a yet to be understood style of flying that he believes can be shared within the community to enhance the experience, style, language, perception and philosophy of human body flight. His lines are complex and break through the accepted boundries. Where saftey and danger are irrelevant divisions placed in the way of true self expansion within the wind flow, Ryan is on a journey to portray his findings clearly in the same way any particular bird structures it’s tweeting melody.
