RW Literature?
Can't Post
Hello All,
I've been working really hard to refine my RW skills lately, especially in regards to 4 to 10-ways. I'd like to know if there is any print literature available or electronic lit that illustrates and describes the various possible linked exits. I.e. which grips should be taken by whom when trying to launch linked exits of various sizes. I also understand that there's a somewhat standard system of letters for describing certain formations and blocks that can be built and turned on RW dives. Is there literature somewhere of these formations and blocks?
Go here: http://www.fai.org/ipc-documents Then, click on the following items: Sporting Code and Competition Rules Formation Skydiving Formation Skydiving Rules 2012
This will give you the FAI rules, blocks, and randoms.

Hi Brian, there is more to RW / FS than "just" the formations themselves. get your hands on Pat Works' litterature. Very interesting read, surprizingly still very actual after 20years

Thanks for the tip. However, I didn't use the word "just" in my original post anywhere. I'm not sure if you meant to imply that I was taking a myopic view of what goes into making an RW/FS jump successful or not. As far as this literature by Pat Works; do you have any suggestion as to where I might be able to find it? Is it a published book or is it something handed down from person to person that I'm going to need to ask around and find a copy from someone who knows someone who knows someone, etc?
