3-way exit

[mbenney 0]

Hey Can anyone give any opinions on what they think is the easiest 3-way (flat) exit to launch successfully? Would be out of a reasonable sized turbine... otter or dornier, something like that.

Thanks!

two in the door one in front float gives countlet the two out drag the inside person down the hill while he gets smaller...

I think it's a compressed accordian.

The key to any exit is the timing. If people are getting drug out of the A/C then it's gonna flop.

Three way round. Two outside, rear float has high grips on front float. Inside person takes chest straps.

On exit, front float launches hard, out and up, rear float just drops. Inside person pushes out and presents belly; legs on butt. Once the exit comes off, floaters take inside person's grips.

I have done the back 3 people of a "H" (bow) exit from the 4way dive pool - and it works real well because the outside center does not have to get very high on his/her presentation into the relative wind... Meaning, if the count goes to crap, or this person has my poor gymnastic skills, it still can be pulled off.

http://www.teamfastrax.org/randomBlocks.aspx and select the "H".... You will just be missing the guy who is at the top of the formation in that video.

Basically - one guy is out on the front of the door, using his right hand to hold on to the bar, with his body already presented into the relative wind... (belly button to prop) He is the outside center in 4 way terms.

There is one guy inside (inside center), with belly facing the relative wind too, with his left hand on the shoulder/arm of the outside center's right hand that is holding the bar. When the exit happens - these two guys can "double down" with their grips and make a rock solid connection.

The tail flier head jams his head on the bar and is holding the two legs of the outside and inside center... Once he gets the legs, his head no longer is holding him in much... This is a fun slot, because your count is "ready, down, down" and you slide down the plane being an anchor... The key to the head jam is exit with both hands on the bar. Get your head all the way out and butt out and feet at the edge of the door... Then, just stick your head back in and rest your neck on the bar... I tried doing it once without getting all the way out, and you find yourself inching to the door.

Not only does this exit work real well with all sorts of skill levels - if you go into 4way, it is a fail safe exit for blocks/randoms that you have not learned how to exit that you can transition into your first real point on the hill...

Hi Benney

That's how I've done most of the times in FS dives and it has been fine for me although I'm quite inexperienced.

Btw, have fun in Russia.

Ditto, and I'm even more inexperienced So far I have always launched from inside (I know, I know...) and the exits have been good.

Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

Hey there. Yep this is the one were most used to doing, but some people have been saying that a star is actually the most difficult 3-way exit to launch... and with the BCPA coming up (where you can launch any first point) just wanted to get a consensus if there was any one that was more fool proof than that!
