the power band?

[ManBird 0]

I think it makes sense. Think of "band" in terms of a "frequency band"... as opposed to a "rock band" or "rubber band" or "pumpkin love".

As I understand the 'power band':
It's the point that your canopy planes out after initiating a high-speed diving maneuver. I.e. when you plane out right over the ground after initiating a hook or strong diving riser carve. This is the point when any inputs, even tiny ones could have large effects. This is when you have a lot of 'power' to play with.

A "band" is not a "point".

Hey, how about contributing a relevant answer to the discussion. Rubber bands are brilliant.

To clarify:
Beginning at that 'point' and lasting the duration of time that you are in the 'power band'.

A) If that isn't calling a "band" a "point", then I don't know what is. It should be phrased as "It starts from the point" as opposed to "It's the point".

B) That's not what the power band is. Slaton went over this simple concept in great detail. It was the most prevalent piece of information at the seminar. The power band is the constrain of power generated from diving a canopy using front risers. Why is this so hard to understand?

Firstly, pardon my vague language in regards to the "point", I do believe I clarified myself.

Secondly, I never attened the aforementioned seminar. Perhaps providing a transcript of his session or an brief overview would've been more productive.

Thirdly, what's difficult to understand is why people can't keep the conversation relevant to the topic of the thread.

Moving right along.
