RebelMike 0 #26 December 13, 2002 Thats what I was wondering. Have the judges confirmed. And hear is a question. Does it matter if you have an inside leg grip, when you should of had the outside leg grip. I know that 4-way does not matter, so what about large formation dives?

quade 4 #27 December 13, 2002 As long as it is the -correct- (left or right) leg, then it shouldn't matter.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airgord 1 #31 December 13, 2002 half of them are dancing in the hangar, the other half are outside of the hangar on their cellphones, it's bedlam, pure bedlam. and they all start back at it at noon tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #32 December 13, 2002 My understanding is that as long as the dive is complete, held for at least 3 seconds, and is essentially the same "picture" that was presented before takeoff, then its all good. (I worked ground crew and had a little contact with the judges during the 2000 attempts at SDC) The judges should not be too fussy about inside/outside grips, or even whether it is exactly slot perfect. (like if for some reason divers 297 and 298 experience traffic problems and end up in each others slot) Congrats to all who participated. Finally, the elusive 300 way! Wow! It might take a little while for the FAI to make it "official" but they would never have made the announcement unless they had reviewed the videos and were certain it was complete! By the way, there is another rule. All of the participants have to stay alive for at least another 24 hours in order for the record to be "official." Kind of morbid, but still true as far as I know...... maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #35 December 13, 2002 QuoteAhhhh. Now I can relax! The tension all the way over here in Colorado was intense, and just about the time that I would say I have to post something about my anxiety, flyangel would beat me to it! ] Sorry Mustard, I was just so nervous about the jump. Having been on big ways, I know all the bad stuff that can happen. Wow, I'm so glad they got it and everyone is okay.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RebelMike 0 #36 December 13, 2002 Whit two days left. I would bet that they break the new record. Would need another aircraft. They would probably send the king air up.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tigra 0 #43 December 13, 2002 Dave, I think the idea is they want the record dives to be "safe" as in not taking it too low or taking extraordinary risks just to get the record. So, yeah, kind of morbid, but there is a reason behind it. I know that was the rule 4 years ago when they got the 246 way at SDC, and I know it was the rule 2 years ago as well. maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dreamsville 0 #44 December 13, 2002 All riiight!!
