My friend, I sincerely need you to draw a diagram or something, because I really want to know what you're trying to say.
In most simple terms, "down" is the gravitational pull straight line from where you are straight to the core of the Earth. It doesn't matter if you're directly over Spain, Florida, or Antarctica. The Northern or Southern poles don't matter for "down" .. If you took a helicopter and flew directly over the South pole, and jumped out right when you were over it, how do you think you would fall?
