Elder Panther Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Why don't you tell us then? Usually I just move it from side to side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 It's kinda hard to teach, or shall I say put it into words. There are alot of variables, to to it. It's kind of one of those things where you have to learn it hands on. Like Polevalting, I studied up on tips, techniques, and different information before track. Since i havent Pole valted for the entire off season. It was impossiable to learn that way. Basically you have to catch the wind, have it throw you out and up, and than get undernight (spelling) the wind and have it throw you down. Thus snapping the cables. Like I said, its a hands on thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx2cansamxX Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 It's quite simple, once you are closest to the center, turn the thing the other way, and when you are furthest, pull it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanA Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 You have to get some height before you can snap, to do that you just have to swoop. Go as high as you can, then swoop back down, when you feel your about 5 feet from the ground swoop back up and you'll be higher than before. Do this enough, and when you come down, the eagle will actually come almost to a dead stop, but the cable towing you keeps moving. Then the cable will "snap" from having to pull the eagle after it's slowed down, the other effect from "snapping" is that you gain alot of height really quickly. The thing about swooping up and down is that you kind of have to feel for when to do it, the ride has a few sweet spots based on where your eagle starts. But as long as you go back up about 5 ft. above the ground, it should eventually work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I realize that people do it all the time, but do you think that snapping the cables is bad for the ride? I'm sure it puts sudden impact strains on the superstructure. -Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars1825 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 (edited) Dumb question coming up. Anybody know how to REALLY make those flyers snap like crazy? I think it's just common sence to snap the flyers; it's not that hard. Edited January 1, 1970 by mars1825 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this PKI has no anti-snapping rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
