genitor 0 #30 December 23, 2005 Quote It is my personal goal this year to memorise the 4-way dive pool by letter and number. Bumping this old thread because I'm trying to do the same thing. So... were you successful? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #31 December 26, 2005 I agree with Kallend, memorizing the mnemonics was just an extra step. Memorization is about repetition. Just practice. I would play videos of the top teams (taken off of www.Skyleague.com and as the video rotated through the dive, I'd just identify the randoms and blocks by either name or number until I could keep up. Then try another video. It started to stick pretty quick. Doing it to very fast teams I think helped, as you had to get it down to rote memorization. I think it's better than flashcards, but similar. Plus the blocks were identified as the entire move, not just the two end points and a picture of an inter. ...

GQ_jumper 4 #32 December 26, 2005 Rehmwa said it perfect, that's exactly what I did, I jst sat down and watched the world class teams do em and would just call em off, I learned the names first and now go by the numbers and letters. Just get the video from a world cup or something and watch it til your brain meltsHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

tdog 0 #33 December 26, 2005 EDIT - Sorry Quade to reply to a few year old post you put up. I just realized how old this thread was, or else I would have replied to one of the newer posts... I am going to post mine WITHOUT reading all the posts... Then I am going to see how many of mine match. Then I am going to see if any of you have good ones... A = Unipod (A = 1, Uni = 1) B = Bear Step Diamond C = D = Do-on You-on E = MEEEEker F = Fallopian Accordion G = Gattacord (or GGGot-a-cord) = Cattacord H = Ho-Bow J = Donut because one hand looks like a J K = hooKKKK L = Adder Because it sounds like AddLLLer M = Moon Star N = CraNNNk O = Satellite because OOOO rings took down the shuttle with a satellite in it P = Peabody Q = Queer Phalanx (Phalanx = queer to me, and I have no clue why, so don't ask...)

tdog 0 #35 December 26, 2005 QuoteC=Crappy Murphy Flake Oh, and duh....J=Donut for "Jelly Donut" (which we all know and love...) ltdiver I think I might pick up your crappy Murphy flake... But I like my visualization for the donut... Take 4 Js on a piece of paper, all turned 90 degrees... I makes a donut with everyone got one grip... So, I am spending 3 hours in the tunnel with GQ_Jumper, SkyKittyCat, TDog (me) and Airspeed working on some blocks... Starting tomorrow... Hour a day, probably 5-8 blocks a day... I am switching slots to IC from OC and some tailage experience... Last time I flew IC was about a year ago... Nervous as hell, as I am not good at memorization, and I have to start from scratch in a new slot... Anyone got good mnemonics for the blocks... I know for sure I am taking my divepool cheat-sheets with me... I am the type of person that learns by doing, so that is what we are doing, but still, we are going to have some fun I guess... T.
