j3zz 0 #1 May 27, 2004 Sorry if this is a repeat post, I have done a search and did not find anything. Anyway my brother and I are starting to do some 2-way RW and I was wondering if there is a resource available that will show me all the points we could try and there associated names, would be good if they had little pictures to help. I know a few points but not that many any help would be much appreciated Also suggestions on exits would be nice, want to be aiming to aquire skills useful in 4-way Jeremy "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know of anything like that I'm afriad - not for 2-way at least. 4-way and 8-way dive pools can be found here though... http://www.omniskore.com/ipc_pool_menu.htm I see you jump at Netheravon - I'll be there this weekend so give me a shout and I'll be happy to show you some basic 2-way dives with names.Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RozeAY 0 #5 May 27, 2004 Collegiates has a 2-way competition. The dive pool from that (randoms and blocks) can be found in Section 7 of the Competition Manual here http://www.uspa.org/publications/manuals.pdf/SCM.6-13_May2004.p2.pdf It starts on page 111.

Stairstep - right hand to left foot or; left hand to right foot (An open SS is a 4-way formation where you have 2 stairsteps and the center has an accordian grip in a fashion that the four people form a long diagonal rather the the accordian which gives them the zigzag pattern (called a Helix) - try drawing it with stick figures. A 2-way "opposed stairstep" does not make sense and that manual is royally messed up for calling it anything other than an open acc) Open Acc - right hand to right hand or; left hand to left hand ...
