Good observations. You are correct. That is part of the progression VRW needs to go through. We currently do mirrors and slot switchers on a number of randoms/blocks. However, so far we have stayed away from doing that on blocks 5 and 6 since doing them incorrectly can cost a lot of time. To date the time saved doing mirros and or slot switchers on those blocks has not been enough to offset the time lost resetting. That is beginning to change as we get faster in B slots. In the near future mirrors and slot switchers will be used as needed on all blocks and randoms. We are just not that good yet. Jon

You are right about Nationals. The event will be wide open. I know of no less than five teams that could show up and win. I can't wait to watch the video's. Jon

You bring up a good point. We have had discussions around various suit changes. So far we have just went with slick dark suits, contrasting gloves and good grippers. (Sound familiar?) One other thing I have been thinking about is what changes VRW will drive in vertical body positions (ex. mantis vs. boxman). There will no doubt be a great deal of changes in the near future for us formation skydiving rookies. I can't wait to see where we are in 5 years. Jon Pinyon (Team Mandrin Point)
