174fps 1 #2 February 12, 2003 Interesting that they are removing the req to hold the formation for 3 secs in the world records largest formation section. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #3 February 12, 2003 I am puzzled by the removal of the 3 second rule. Now you can take a grip on the way by while you are funnelling it and it will still be a record?? I'd love to hear the logic for its removal. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #4 February 12, 2003 I'm almost certain it'll come down to an interpretation of a grip showing "control" similar to the way that fast 4-way is judged.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x3mcam 0 #5 February 13, 2003 Quade, that was one of the reasons. And as we remember what Sections 5 states in the start of the part about world records: "3.1.2 General Conditions (1) All record attempts must be performed according to the Competition Rules, where appropriate." blue ones Tomppa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #7 February 13, 2003 Holy crap! John and I agree on something! I do believe it would be -prudent- to continue to hold the formation for at least three seconds though -- just to make certain the camera flyer got a good shot! quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryskydives 0 #8 February 13, 2003 I do believe it would be -prudent- to continue to hold the formation for at least three seconds though Maybe the change is so that there can be a 2 point 333 way record. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
