[replySpeaking of what we have and have not done. Avion, have you ever jumped out of a plane?
Umm...
Well, I'm planning to.
Gosh, you really need to just do it! You will NOT be disappointed. Trust me!

QuoteThe only thing I know about speed stars is that you form them, as fast as possible, and ride them all the way down to break off.
Not sure about riding it down part
People do all kind of fun staff after completing the formation. Just don't piss the judges off

Rosa,
I know this is too late for tomorrow because this is tomorrow. But with your size, dive fast and dock hard. I mean don't flare until you are on grips.If they are doing real live stars, everyone should have high grips and sort of sit back and put tension on the star. That way it can take a harder hit. Remember, real "10 way" hurts.
It sould be, dive, dock, turn and pull.
Be safe,
Sparky

My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
We used to practice from 4,500.
And not to worry, she has been is things bigger than a 10 way.

That's what was on my mind, organizing everybody docking and the last few rushing to complete it.
Sounds scary

Sounds scary
Sorry we had to beat you lovely girls.
All of you looked great except for the real hairy one!

Gosh Dom, Saturday was damned FUN! Too bad I didn't get to see you much, but I'll be around more now that I'm feeling better healthwise.
Hey, "Token Testaterone" aka "Terrific Tits" (the name was changed) came in 4th place, so we scored/did better than at least 3 or 4 other teams. Not too shabby considering my jump numbers (for sure, I was the newbiest of all), and the fact is...that I would have been uncurrent if I hadn't done one jump that Tuesday prior.
Dom, that morning, when I saw that the teams were pretty serious and experienced 4-way or RW competitors from both Perris and Elsinore, I was pretty intimidated. Like I said, I haven't really been jumping/flying. (I had done 6 jumps since June 3rd.) Our team worked together, and we managed to get all the "required formations/pts." on all jumps under the allotted times easily enough. The first jump we had all pts. plus we easily did the bonus. It was the best jump that we did that day! The others, we didn't get the "bonuses", but we came close at least one more time. Well, it was fun, either way.
Frankly, I was just flattered that I had been asked to come out of my non-jumping time and into a competition.
That night, I watched the video over and over again to see where I could have improved my flying (a lot of places), until I fell asleep in my living room's hardwood floor in front of my TV. I woke up wishing that I had been more current for this, even though I know that it was mostly a "fun" day, and wishing that we had been able to get third place! Grrr...
Edited for typos! ha!

The important part is you had fun! That is what this is supposed to be all about anyway!!!!!
You ladies and Jonathon did very well. Since The top three teams had prettymuch hardcore weekenders at least. Your team showed very well.
The third place team was taking it way to serious. They missed the point of the whole thing. It was ment to be a fun time. The medals weren't important. Everyone was safe and noody gothurt. Smiles all the way around at the end of the day is all we should be looking for or expect.

Ah speed stars my favourite from all altitudes,
I love the bit about if it dosent hurt your not doing it right
Never a truer word was ever spoken .
I lost both front teeth to a fast exit
and have lost several crowns to these enegetic exits
My favourite 10way speedstars are the scratch comps
these jumps are not for the faint hearted
The old saying "slow is fast " dosent apply
here it's fast is fast an faster is even better
Just remember to wear a helmet
Gone fishing
