LittleSkyWitch 0 #1 August 12, 2003 While reading an article, I came across some unclear things concearning 3D hybrid craze jumps. 1. Why tracking is considered to be a 3D jump? Or maybe it's just another kind of tracking... 2. What is pylon race dive and mixed belly and back pylon races. How is it jumped? thanks beforehand __*______________________________ Little SkyWitch http://www.skydiveua.info ______________________________*__ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tictoc 0 #2 August 12, 2003 #1 Tracking is 3d because you are not just moving streight down. Their is alot of movment that can take place on one of thies dives thus a littel mor risk the more ppl you get on it. #2 Pylon race is were you have two or mor ppl with a tub (or ribin) the ppl with the tubs (pylons) stay in one place while others race around them. This can be don on you back, belly, or bouth.-------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it. But if you go be sure you can make it back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a whole lot more vertical movement on a large RW jump as divers come down. Is this a 3-d jump, too? Seems to me people've been tracking long before any freeflyers came along... _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tictoc 0 #11 August 12, 2003 QuoteOne more quastion: what means " main and latteral lift webs" where are they sewed? This is a littel harder to describe with out showing. Bouth are sewn in differnt spots. Basicly from what I understand the main lift web runs from your hip up over your sholder down the back pad of the rig all the way to the bottom of the rig than takes the same (revers) path to your other hip. The latteral runs from one hip to the other along the bottom of the rig. You would be better off to have a local rigger show you this as it would be easear to understand.-------------------------------------------------------- Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it.
