skyodissey 0 #1 July 28, 2002 hi everybodyCan someone tell me what's the most efficent way to flare out after a track to wash off all the speed? 'coz I'm having some trouble with that and i got some hard deployments i think due to residual forward motion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumperpaula 0 #2 July 28, 2002 After you pull out of your track, do you "get big" , in other words, dearch to decelerate before you pull? Pulling out of the track should stop the forward motion instantly. Perhaps the Dearching could help make sure you are slowed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyodissey 0 #3 July 28, 2002 Yep,I do.Anyway next week-end I'll try it again and I'll also get extra-time to slow down.Tnx for the tip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Remster 30 #4 July 29, 2002 If your traking as fast as you can go, you'll already be de-arched. The quikest most efficient way to kill the speed at the end of a track I find is to be very aggressive about it, but work your way to that. I usually do all this in 1 quick motion: - Bring arms forward and cross then to wave off - de-arch even more, really cupping as mush air as you can - bend knees to bring your heels on you ass After that, go to box man and deploy. I use up about 1 second for that. This is a quick aggressive move designed to minimize the time you spend in it, leaving the max amount of time for tracking. Obviously, you want to work your way to this, as any quick aggressive move needs some practice to control it. Also, you will find out, for your style and body type, how long you need to take to slow down enough and keep awareness of the air below you. If you get lazy at any one of these componants (de-arch, arms in front or knees bent) you may get slamedRemster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites wlie 0 #5 July 29, 2002 I'm with Remster, except that I do it simpler: Relax in a boxman for about 2 secs. Wave Dump I've had 2 or 3 hard openings and they are due to pulling while not having bled off my forward momentum. But pull time is pull time.

You need to counter the move you made by its opposite for it to stop. Think about forward movement: Start, Coast, stop. If all you do is relax to a boxman, you will not slow yourslef down (the air resistance will, but you're not helping it any). If the jumps you're geting into have more and more people and you need all of the tracking you can get, you need to max that track both in speed and time. That means stoping it will require more energy, and you'll want to do that as fast as possible.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites kallend 2,113 #7 July 29, 2002 If you're tracking properly your fall rate will be lower than in any other position. A good track can have you going below 90mph (I'm skinny, and on a good day I can get below 80mph according to my Protrak). If your track was good, then during the "flare" you actually speed up. Trouble is, lots of people don't flat track too well - more of a delta dive position.
