looks like the first point was NJ, so they really did 48!

They might have lost 2 points. I just did a quick count and skipped the first 2 with the video and it was pretty close to 47 minus the first 2 in time. I would be interested to see the scoring sheets..

Still WOW!!!

Read through the article on NSL and they say only one point lost on Exit NJ...

I love how they speed up once they get the rhythm... Or at least that is what it looks like...

Heck, the 10th time thru the pages they should have all the kinks worked out.

Fun to watch.

As a Team they new it in the air! Did ya catch the excitement in them at break off?

The article noted the first point lost. I think the 2nd was judgable.

OC (Gary?) was jazzed. all four had that energy

I really don't think that second point would be awarded at Nationals.

Junebug wouldn't have given it to em.

On the M, all four hands are very clearly on simultaneously and the separation prior to it is also visible - heck, it's a closeup.. A good judge would see the grips in two tries. Heck, if I could see it at speed, most anyone could.

Try on a 13" monitor with no slow mo and only three replays.

I'm not saying I didn't see it, in fact I think that Fire had a 48 pt jump, but I am saying it isn't very clear and if 3 out of 5 judges take issue with it, its out.

You got me there, this is a 17" monitor. Natasha's left hand isn't really blazing white at that angle.

I just did this dive in the tunnel with Airspeed and from the OC position it's incredibly easy to screw the tail over on this dive. Props to Andy H. for bein such an awesome tail and always moving with the centers.

yeah, the P-O and O-E moves need to be tight....(?)

Even with the powerful move to the meeker, did you notice that the total rotation of the 4 way was only once over 9+ rotations!!!! Wow. Talk about a great tunnel drill

Having a hard time watching Sinapsi, their continuity plan is so different than what I've trained

Sweeet...I wonder how long before we see someone break the big 5-0.

Anyone know what the previous record was and who held it? Apologies if I missed this elsewhere

That looked really nice. Much calmer than Mauberge's 42,

indeed but the B-F-L-A-N is much more difficult and needs quite more movements.
Moreover the difficulty was to find the good brieffing. F-M-P-O-E is more simple...

I really don' know how many point Maubeuge would have done on this jump

but total respect for Fire

Can't argue with the engineering aspect of the comment. I like BFLAN, but it has many options to engineering it and the most efficient is also not the obvious one. FMPOE is pretty straight forward (at least from my amateur eyes). MB had a great season. What's next from France?

Nothing quite like pissing on someone's Fire, is there? (geddit? )

[gaillou 0]

what's next from France?

for instance there are great women 4-way and 8-way
the aim is Germany this summer and we will cheer them as much as we can

For the future if you have any tips, please feel free to tips me

The thing I know (at least I think I know) is that tere will be an Open 4 -way in 2008

My money is on the French 4-way women's team to get gold.

I like all the peeps on Mauberge Huit (I think that is the name of the French 8-way team) and Airspeed 8-way teams, but Airspeed will kick ass!!!!

Do not discount Russia's Ladybirds and the UK's Airkix - both teams are very strong and I am sure that they have been putting in the training the same as the French.

I think it will be an exciting world meet.

Even so, they are starting a solid point average+ behind a very well established team...So unless they are somehow able to train a lot more it would seem the French girls are odds-on.

Damn thats some good flyin. Bill FF going to do that this year.

Not sure the 8 comes from there.. And it's Maubeuge, not Mauberge

I have it planned into the tunnel camp frequently, just to check our progress on the same dive throughout the camp. It's an insanely fast draw. I have one other that is my 'wish' draw we'll be flying too - less moving, even 'faster'. I think we'll muck it up good, and by the last day hopefully be turning periods that push 30 in time. (this is the tunnel, and we'll see it a lot (last year we timed a drill that was 25 points in a 35 second period - lots of even beginner teams do it once in a while) These are nice because for a team that's not so good like ours, not moving messes with you, so the 'really' fast draws become a great drill dive for flashing and concentrating....

Or the answer you were looking for "yes", we'll do that dive in practice. And "no" in comp, we'll not see a draw that sweet and if we do, I'd be insanely happy to get half that score.....

Did you see or hear about 8way days though out this summer. I don't know who's organizing but it's going on at least once a month.
