I think I know the answer to this one - I was reading the judging downgrades for '05, and it indicated rolls in a loop must NOT be on a straight line.. But I want to be sure..

When the figure is a loop, and at the bottom (as an example) there is a roll (or half of one), and or a snap - my understanding is that the loop should be a 'perfect' loop as if the roll and or snap were not part of it (?), and as a result the roll and or snap must be done on a 'loop' line - I mean NOT on a straight line?

Gotta smile here, with unlimited vertical, there is suddenly this temptation to put the thing out of sight on the top of the loop, so the loop's line is SO close to straight that this part of the figure becomes very easy. But in reality, I know the REALLY big loop makes this easier.. (but 7 surgeries (and counting) on my spine severely limit the top of my loops - not too flexible I mean - my spine)

Cheers,
Bob
