Wierd question-kinda of bored in class

[airborne31582 0]

I was in one of my engineeering classes earlier today, naturally bored as hell, so i kind of came up with a wierd question.


Has anyone ever done 4-way upside down? instead of belly to earth, back to earth? That would be kind of cool to see, what do you guys think?

I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway.

I think you should pay attention to your class.

On the Majik DVD there's a dive where they're turning pieces with two on their backs and two fact to earth.

I once had a 4 way leave with grips that got a little screwy, we all were on our backs in a round, then one guy flips himself and pulled the whole group back on their bellies. That was pretty cool.

People used to do that stuff all the time. Watch any old Freak Brothers Convention tape and see plenty of it.

i tried some 2 way like that, not very easy though... need some training.

I always thought that would make a great competition... 4 novices on belly, 4 pros on their backs. Then I found out that deland majik trains on their backs so maybe it wouldn't be so fair.

as early as the mid-1970's we had upside-down 4-way competitions at my then home dz in Boise, Idaho. At that time you had to build a right-side-up formation, then turn it upside down. Repeat for more points. The competitions went on for several years, and perhaps the rules evolved. I just checked my logbook and I have a 6-way star, to a 6-way donut, to a 6-way upside down donut in 1979. I don't have the earlier stuff convenient to look up earlier 4-way.
