mouth 0 #1 February 25, 2003 Somehow I've been talked into joining a 4 way team for this season. We all have between 350 jumps and 650 jumps. 3 of us are about the same size and the 4th guy is a good foot taller and a good bit heavier than me. My question is is there any information that has the position and it's flying characteristics listed? If not how would you go about picking a slot? Does it even matter? -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #2 February 25, 2003 Yay Lisa!!! Read this: http://www.dropzone.com/safety/articles/UnderstandingYourSlot.shtml it's a great description of each slot and some of what flying the slot entails, both mentally and physically, so to speak. Good luck...and tail is where it's at! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weid14 0 #6 February 26, 2003 yeah but they weigh about the same Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #7 February 26, 2003 Myself, Tom, Bev, and Max from Monroe. Max makes 2 of me at least, but I have no problem falling with him even w/o weights. I'm outside center and Max is inside right now, and I'm wondering how it will effect our turning pieces. Bev and Tom both have to wear weights to keep up with even me so this is going to be HYSTERICAL. Anyone wanta video for America's Funniest Home Videos? Thank God we are not in it for anything other than a learning experience. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Possum 0 #8 February 27, 2003 With the exception of blocks 20 and 13 (and the 3 way pieces of 2 and 4), you and the IC won't be turning many pieces together- your piece partner will most likley be the point, and his will be the Tail. Good luck and have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
