swoopster33 0 #27 September 13, 2005 Just a quick update, the dirt water dirt comp will be over pretty quickly. In practice yesterday, TJ did a superman across the entire pond. He missed dirt on the entry side by about 3 feet, and blew through the exit side. We did an "official measurement" of the pond yesterday, it is 371.5 feet. The talk around the dz yesterday was that the pond will be 500 ft next year. We have had one practice distance run of 535 feet from a CPC competitor. Competition starts today.

tdog 0 #28 September 13, 2005 Jason, You will keep us up to date, wontcha??? I plan on coming out when I can this week to watch. Also, I asked you (and many others) a while back... What was the theory about improvement/detriment to distance and speed due to our thin air. It seemed at the time no one knew how the thin air would change all the variables of speed, lift, distance, etc. Would speed make more useful lift? Or would the lift be waisted to compensate for lack of air? What are people saying now that there are solid statistics from real jumps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen the end result of a few of those and he didn't fare so well. ;) Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swoopster33 0 #30 September 13, 2005 That is part of the excitment about this comp. How will the best do at 5000 ft? There are many theories, but for now all i can say is that many of the competitors here are expecting Jay or Jonathan to break 600ft! Some are talking about the possibility of 650 ft. Time will tell............ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
