f1freak 0 #1 June 25, 2002 the risers i have now have dive blocks on the front risers. i have always used dive loops. i am having a problem with griping the blocks for any front riser input. are there any reasons that i would want to stick with blocks rather than change to loops?HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 June 25, 2002 I am not a fan of dive blocks personally, but I know several people that prefer them. I would stick with what you are comfortable with, especially if you have other mains hooked up on dive loop equipped risers. As a comparison, I have one main on triple risers and another with "standard" ones. I rear-riser the standards and do not touch them with my trips. I do about as well with either, but it's weird to switch back and forth. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEB6363 0 #3 June 25, 2002 There are a couple of advantages, the blocks will never break, the blocks will never loop around something. However, they are not ment for people who do a whole bunch of front riser stuff. For example, CReW folks prefer 2X1 loops with the extra ring and line to give a large advantage (like a single pully). You can do rotations a lot better with the extra advantage. I use blocks because I only need a very little advantage for front risers and I don't use them very often. It will all just depend on how much you want to work with the fronts and how much advantage you want. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
