Default RE: When to "Draw a Line"?

ORIGINAL: sweetpea01

No rule on how long your line is. By distance or time.

Of course the ground will limit the length of your downline. Just remember every manuever is a geometric display. Radius or turns or circles need to be the same. Roll rates need to be the same, downline/uplines need to be the same........this is all for each manuever. You can vary them in each different manuever but for one specific you need to keep things constant.

Oh---and have fun.
Sweetpea01...... I am SURE that you were generalizing & that you already knew this..... but it probably can be mistakenly understood, regarding "downline/uplines need to be the same".

Figure N's, Hammerheads, Tailslides, Humpty Bumps, Laydown Humpty's definitely do NOT have to have the same length of up/down lines. Any elements on these lines have to be centered.

I know that you knew that already, but your explanation could be misconstrued.
