Step 1
Push lightly with your arms as you fall belly-to-earth, like you're doing a small pushup, while you pull your legs in slightly underneath you.
-
Step 2
Move your knees forward and then push your feet downward, like you're stomping the air, all in one move.
-
Step 3
Straighten your whole body and stretch your arms to the side, like a T, as your legs become vertical. You can either close your legs or leave them slightly open, "straddling" the air.
-
Step 4
Keep your arms straight out to the side, your hands even with your shoulders and your chest upright, not leaning into the wind.
-
Step 1
Place one leg in front and the other behind you, keeping them as straight as possible. Hold your shoulders evenly and have them squarely face your front leg. This is called the Daffy, and for other Daffy moves, see the related eHow article "How to Do Daffy Moves in Skydiving."

Step 2
Bend your legs at the knee. Hold your shins horizontal and your thighs vertical, like you're kneeling. This is the Knee Standup. You can also split your knees apart, which is the Straddle Knee Standup.
-
Step 3
Hold your legs together and straight down toward the earth. Bend your torso at the waist to a 90-degree angle. Your upper torso is horizontal and you should feel like you're bowing to the approaching terrain. This is the Pike Standup. The Straddled Pike Standup uses the same torso bend, but here your legs are open.
-
Step 4
Keep one leg straight toward the ground and bend the knee on the other leg to at least a 90-degree angle. Put the toe on the bent leg beside the knee of the straight leg. This is the Stag Standup.
-
Step 5
Move one leg in front of you and bend it back toward you at the knee. Keep your shin horizontal, facing the ground and touching the inside of the other leg above the knee. This is the Figure 4 Standup.
