New Formations! 4-Way VRW Dive Pool

[ederen 0]

The VRW discipline needs to have 10 more formations added to its dive pool by February 1, 2006! At no time in the future will it be this easy to have a formation you created personally added to the dive pool... (just ask the competitive FS (bellyfly) skydivers!)

Freefliers of all skill levels, we want your help!

Visit http://www.teammandrin.com/vrw4way/2006_additions.html for the guidelines, then post your ideas here on this thread!

Blue Skies!

How about a totem & the 2 other flyers headdown taking hand grips on the top totem flyer.

It might be done quick after a
Double Joker, Chain Gang, Mixed Star or T-Bird

If it works you can call it a Zero Gravity or Zero G
Named after Team Zero.

How about this thingy dingy?

I call it "The Hang Out."

Excellent ideas! However, let me stress that any submitted formations need to follow the guidelines as listed on http://www.teammandrin.com/vrw4way/2006_additions.html. A formation that cannot be described in terms of an arm, leg, or foot grip (like a totem) or has a dock on gear (like a totem) will not be considered for the dive pool, unfortunately.

This means that totems, spocks, monkeys, piggybacks and any head docks will be relegated to the artistic freefly crew for now.

And let's remember that we only need 1 advanced block and 1 advanced random, and I think we may have already gotten those. We're really looking for fun and creative intermediate block moves!

PS. Hint: We currently have no eagles, no front or back flip specifications, no fully outfacing moves, and only one intermediate formation that includes an upright, sitfly body position. More consideration will be given to formations and block sequences that look nothing like things that are already in the dive pool. For intermediate, formations should have a maximum of one (1) person in an upright, sitfly position, and minimize the use of sitfly hand docks.

Then you can have the lower guy take a hand to foot grip or a 2 hand grip on the the feet of the other flyer instead of a totem.

You can also have the to middle flyers let, go then eagle it with the out side flyers still docked, then build it again.

freeflyers thinking like belly flyers, I thought I would never see the day. I can't tell if i'm crying or laughing.

Check it "The Mirror"

[Bluefox 1]

Here is one... Check out "The Shackle".

It would make for a good intermediate and advanced random. In the FS dive pool both levels do all the same randoms but the intermediate level excludes some of the advanced blocks.

The nice thing about this random is it gives someone some head up, out facing time.
