Default RE: Another snap question...

The problem with snaps is it can zero a whole figure because of the perception of judges about autorotation and the nose up thing. About the same discussion as most of you may have had about tail slides...

Big difference betwen tail slides and figures that have snaps incorporated in them is the HUGE K-factor difference. A properly executed snap has much more value than a tail slide. That can account for the excitement level about snaps.

Look at the figure N in unlimited this year. Big K-factor for a not so difficult maneuver but don't miss the snap!
