    Ariels & off headings

    Hey, a question fro all you arielists out there. . .
    I seem to consistantly open 45ish to the right when doing doubles and tripples . . .gainers seem to open on heading more than not. .

    I'm thinking my issue is at pull time. Do any of your guys emlpoy a symmetrical wingsuit type pich with both arms or just a regular right hand only kinda toss?? Or am i dipping a shoulder? Hmmm. . .

    Any making fun of me is strictly preffered and only non-constructive criticism allowed. . .heres the most recent exalmple. . .

    It's the leafblower, Rich. It's throwing off your balance as you pitch. Either leave it behind altogether, or take two for symmetry. We know you own multiples.

    I know people make fun of it but I always use the skydiving pitch method when doing multiple aerials or terminals. Never had an offheading yet on a double or a triple.

    Pretty sure my canopy is trying to send me to mexico!! If you think about it all my off's are to the right (which means SOUTH) . . .coincedence. . .I think not

    FreeFall - Thanks I'll try that!

    Funny thing is, when I get a good three-step intro on the double I seem to do just fine. . . now that I think about it, i haven't had any issues from double in Moab. . .just at the P-Rine.

    Before throwing, your right leg tends to be more close to your belly than your left thus inducing forward motion of the right half of your body....leading to a dropped right shoulder.

    Plus if you move your left hand out (4th sec on video) too violently it will also make your body rotate counter-clockwise ....leading to a dropped right shoulder.

    ... hope it helps
