rehmwa 2 #26 August 21, 2007 Quote Agreed! Having been inside center for a few seasons, let me share the phrase I told me team on EVERY damn jump, "move it farther up in the door. No farther, no not quite enough, FARTHER!" I like the IC forward also. It helps to clear the hips so the launch is easier to keep from rolling.... 1 - the point does need to understand they can have their hips forward of the doorframe for certain exits. And at worse, straight out the front edge. Else P ends up pushing the IC back anyway. Anything else is encroachment of the IC. The IC should 'own' 3/4's of the door frame. Once that happens, it's much clearer for the OC and, especially, the T to recognize their position should quite a bit forward vs what initially seems comfy. A simple exit like a star (M) dramatically shows the damage a T can cause to the IC if the T lines up way at the rear. 2 - you can teach an IC to be forward, but half of them then stand sideways in the door and launch wierd anyway. I never understand that, when IC, I like to get low and take my hips out on the launch from a good stance. I think crowding the threshold like that makes it much less consistent. there are exceptions, and whatever works for a team will win out over any generic concept. ((I don't think we'll figure out this exit any time soon. It might have been a made up one, for that matter)) ...

rehmwa 2 #27 August 21, 2007 Quote I was lined up in front of the door, all I could see was fuselage. That's what I'm talking about. We don't leave straight out (perpendicular to line of flight), more like 45 degrees to the rear. Plan the angle of exit. Plan for the wind snatch. It makes people nervous, so if they don't get it, the tendency is to push the inside people rearward. The rear inside on a big way needs to be strong enough to push back on these dorks (Plant the foot, line up enough to fit a foot or more between you and the rear of the doorframe. Don't get pushed. Dive out, down, and "rearward". People always hit the rear of the doorframe, not the front. Funny thing that 'wind' out there. ...

sdctlc 0 #28 August 21, 2007 regardless of the exit formation, the real questions come down to: how bad did it affect the exit and what was the score? Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #31 August 22, 2007 I've been pressed against the starboard wall of the otter opposite the door on 16 way launches. They came out just fine. Then again just a few weeks ago I lost my footing on a 21 exit (4-way; IC) and clocked my knee on the floor on the way out. That friggin killed...
