trailing exits....

[cwhitchurch 0]

4-8 way video. Otter.

I have been doing float exits for a couple seasons with good luck. But i'm feeling the need to expand. I want to get the trailing exit figured out. Or that almost trailing hybrid I'm seeing more of, where the video falls under the plane and turns 90.

any pointers?

are you guys setting up with your right or left foot on the step? do you push at all with that foot? push back? push left with the peel-off? I've heard the "feel all the rivets down the side of the plane" thing, but I havn't hit it yet.

any help would be appreciated, by me and whoever has the tail and inside slots.

I have my left foot on the step and right hand on the handle. I crouch down a little, so my head is below the top of the door. When they leave, I just release the handle and slide off leeading with my head. The body will follow.

I do pretty much the same, but with a few tricks that have worked for me. I aim at the tire (otter), and try my hardest to drop straight down (don't push out), with just the right amount of lead time so I don't end up on the tail's back. If you are touch early, then you need to track back up at the group, off to the side and slide around, then park. Eveyone has their own tricks and techniques, these are just what's worked best for me. Another is to know what they are gonna launch. Some of the longer exits make is a LOT harder to lead the exit, especialy if the tail is kick ass, and gets lower than you first....you follow? You are gonna take out a few groups, so be prepared to say "sorry"....he he he.
