I e-mailed my teammates on FU2 so they could check out your video. I'm sure they'll enjoy it as much as I did. In the meantime fair is fair, if you'd like to laugh at us check out www.heyrobin.com/fu2. Right now it only has our first meet on it and a couple of fun jumps we did the next day. I swear we've gotten better! We were definitely the comic relief for the judges at the first competition when we funnelled the first exit for 2,000 feet or so. Allright you guys - Let's see some video from the other rookie teams!

Timing, presentation and hitting the right space out of the door are definitely what you need to do to successfully fly an exit. The way I read your question you are also looking for the easiest formations to launch. I am on a rookie team (jump numbers 130-300 for the team) and the first exit we attempted was the B-Stairstep Diamond. We got it on about the 3rd attempt. Since then we moved to E-Meeker, M-Star. We launched O-Satellite and C-Murphy Flake on first attempts in competition last weekend. It was a blast! We've received lots of good advise from strong 4-way people at our DZ and have a coach working with us. We would be way further down the learning curve without them.
