Jump 146



Two-way with Dr. Bill Flowers. We held a
good wagon wheel exit stable and then stayed
close for the rest of the jump. We had a
little fun with levels when I got small and
sped up and he went to belly to slow down,
but it all worked out into a great jump.
I've got video from two viewpoints for this
jump.

You can see that we were very stable when we
were linked but that when we let go I popped
away quickly. At first I wasn't sure why
that happened, but when you look at the
video you can see me arch my back just
before we let go. That causes us to put
tension on our grip. I then had to
compensate with a leg straight out to
prevent myself from going belly-down.
