Rotational BASE?
A concept to discuss:
Does a rotational motion enhance stability, and/or on-heading opening performance?
There are three axes of rotation to be considered. Front Flips we'll call (right hand rule) positive X rotational momentum. Back flips are negative X momentum. Barrel Rolls (lying on belly and spinning) to the right hand side we'll call positive Y. Rolls to the left are negative Y. Standing spins to the right called postive Z. To the left is negative Z.
This coordinate system is based with the ground (or impact point) being 0, and everything else considered positive. Gravity acts towards the center of the earth. and can be assumed constant 9.81m/s.
As in, is there safety in performing flips on exit as opposed to flat and stable eixts?
Peace,
Thomas :-)

RE: Rotational BASE?
Check out this discussion on exits,

Rotational momentum on one axis can be used to stabilize or maintain another axis´ stability as well as stopping rotatation...
take care
