quade 4 #2 July 23, 2002 Wow. I can't wait to see a high-rez version of this because it's pretty difficult to tell if it's all there. But DAMN that's sweet! I guess ya gotta hide the count from the judges if you're going for every last nanosecond. That was such a weird beginning.

BikerBabe 0 #3 July 23, 2002 Holy Randoms, Batman! Talk about smokin' 4-way. The world meet this year is going to be a nail-biter, too.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weid14 0 #4 July 23, 2002 yeah, my thoughts too, how do they know when to start the clock. That's the aircraft for the world meet next year. For 4 and 8 way -- a porter, mirrored exits and dead air included! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arlo 0 #7 July 24, 2002 Hi Viking- The only formation that they would've done in this particular dive sequence (B-F-L-A-N) that didn't require a leg grip of some sort (be it via side body or cat grip) would be the random formation "F" -the open accordian. The other formations will have at least one person picking up a leg grip. Let me clarify that by saying that a sidebody grip (such as in the random formation "P" where everyone has a sidebody grip) still has each person with one arm grip and one leg grip. If you'd like to see the pictures for this, I think you can go to omniskore.com and look for the dive pool. Hope this helps. :) blues, arlo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 #8 July 24, 2002 This is what i thought a point should look like. http://www.bevsuit.com/gallery/formula4.jpg but please post up the pic to help me understand.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #9 July 24, 2002 >This is what i thought a point should look like. >http://www.bevsuit.com/gallery/formula4.jpg Yes. That's what a "Meeker(E)" should look like. That formation was not on this jump. See the attachment for the formations of the jump. >but please post up the pic to help me understand. Here you go! I don't know how much you know about FS, but a few things: In order to score points, the following things must happen: -All the grips of the first formation must be there simultaneously. -All the grips have to be released simultaneously. Meaning they have to "be in a released state", not that the letting go needs to happen on the same nanosecond -All the grips of the second formation must be there simultaneously. Also, the formations rarely look like the ones on paper, take "Caterpillar"(as seen on Block 15), for example. On paper it looks like it should be a straight line, but few teams build it that way. More often it's built curved. Only the grips matter!. It doesn't matter even if one of the jumpers is flying on his back, as long as the grips are correct, and they can be seen on the video. Hope this helps. Erno (edited for grammar) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weid14 0 #11 July 24, 2002 Lori -- you guys made the name change eh? Viking -- there are 48 different formations in the official dive pool. many combinations of arm and leg grips. As was stated earlier, you have to have the formation (but it may not look like the "official pool picture") show control and key all at the same time.
