it looks like the guys getting the best distance are doing a sharp dig to gain that altitude and then sort of letting the canopy fly on its own to conserve a little more speed, visualizing it, a gradual climb doesn't seem like it would work as well, wouldn't that put you at the stall point sooner?

there as a thread on team agreements a little while ago, give it a look over it was pretty good. but one of the agreements that a lot of people brought up were safety issues, if one person on the team is uncomfortable with it then everyone on the team should respect that, there should be no attitude of quit bein a baby and do what everyone else does. i'm ont sayin this is the case with your tutor but its not very responsible for him to be taking you outside your comfort zone. sit down with the team have everyone state what they want to see happen. if your team agrees to it then guess what, the tutor should have no say. good luck History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

turf surfin, meaning the pilot is skimming the groudn the whole swoop. looks good but does not get as much distance. if you watch the distance events on the PST you'll see that they guys getting the most distane will hit the gates then pop back up really high then let the canopy fly itself further with thta added height. the PST 2003 video has some good examples of this. there's also a vid on 12000ft.com that shows Jay breakin 500' with this technique, he verted the gate though so it didn't count(not to say it wasn't a badass swoop though. someone with a little more experience please back up this statement or shoot it down as necassary History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

It is tough to call. I think that Fire and Fast TRax have the training advantage this year. THey are only doing 4 way, Airspeed is training both events at the same time. In my mind that will hurt them. *** i agree that fast trax trains there butts off, but they haven't quite been posting the scores of a world class team thus far, i agree they are definitely on the rise and maybe on their way to being a dynasty like Airspeed, but this may not be their year. it would be great to see them prove me wrong though, one more world class team to toughen the competition on the homefront would be awesome. Andy is a friend and has coached us this year.Quote I get the privilige of training with them at a tunnel camp in july, I'm beyond excited about it. still waiting to see who the instructors are gonna be though, I have no preference I think the world of all of them History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.
