A 4-Way team consists of 4 flyers and a videographer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a 4-Way jump the four flyers fly through a series of 5 or 6 freefall formations. Each formation is defined by the grips the teammates have on the arms or legs of another teammate. (See pictures) Each formation is worth one point. The team flies through the series as fast as possible to score as many points as they can within the 35 second working time. The 35 second clock starts the instant the team leaves the airplane. A competition consists of 10 jumps. The team with the highest score after 10 jumps wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team\u2019s performance is judged by the footage the videographer provides to the judges. The judges can only use what they can see. If the videographer doesn\u2019t capture a picture of the entire team at the correct distance and angle, the judges cannot accurately evaluate the team\u2019s performance and will deduct the points they can\u2019t see from the team\u2019s score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a pool of 60 total formations. These formations are separated into 22 \u201cBlock\u201d transitions and 16 \u201cRandom\u201d formations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"947\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-web-4way-randoms-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-947x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-web-4way-randoms-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-947x1024.jpg 947w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-web-4way-randoms-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-web-4way-randoms-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-768x830.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-web-4way-randoms-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019.jpg 1765w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 947px) 100vw, 947px\" \/><figcaption>The 4-way IPC pool of &#8216;Randoms&#8217; &#8211; single formations <br>Image by SDC Rhythm XP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each Block consists of two sequential formations (referred to as \u201cpoints\u201d) and a particular way the team has to transition from the first to second formation within the block. The second formation of the block is either a repeat of the first formation or a completely different formation all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"894\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-4way-blocks-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-894x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-4way-blocks-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-894x1024.jpg 894w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-4way-blocks-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-4way-blocks-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019-768x880.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/9-4way-blocks-sdc-rhythm-IPC-dive-pool-2019.jpg 1943w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/><figcaption>The 4-way IPC pool of Blocks &#8211; formations in a set sequence  <br>Image by SDC Rhythm XP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different blocks require a variety of different flying moves. On some blocks the team breaks into two pairs of two flyers and turns the separate pairs or \u201cpieces\u201d 180 or 360 degrees before redocking to build the next formation. Other blocks require the team to break completely and for each individual to turn 360 or 540 degrees before completing the next formation. Still other blocks have transitions that include one piece made of three flyers and an individual flyer, or one piece made of two flyers and two individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This variety of blocks creates many challenges. Each is completely unique and requires technically different moves to be performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE UNIQUE MENTAL CHALLENGES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RANDOM formations are single points without a requirement for how the team must transition from one random to the next. In order for each formation to be scored all the grips that define a particular formation must be stationary and in contact at the exact same moment (this is also true for blocks). If the grips are not all perfectly stationary at the same instant the team does not receive the point for that formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/d7e722be-0203-4ced-ae2e-8dbdab67dd2d.jpg\" alt=\"The team must show a complete separation between each formation \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During all transitions other than specified block moves (including random to random, random to block or block to random) the team must show a \u201ccomplete break\u201d between formations (above). A complete break is one where every teammate\u2019s hands are off of grips at the exact same moment. It is not enough for each person to completely release the grips they have. They must all be off grips at the same time. If during any transition (other than a predefined block move) the team does not show a complete break to the judges they are deducted one scoring point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the best formation skydiving teams each teammate\u2019s hands are on and off the correct grips with nearly perfect timing and synchronicity. The top 4-Way teams average more than 25 points in 35 seconds. On a jump that is drawn as 5 randoms it is not at all uncommon for these teams to do over 50 formations in 35 seconds. The world record is 56. That is equivalent to building one formation every 0.6 seconds. Flying with this level of timing and synchronicity requires the team to develop a high degree of freefall awareness and communication skills. In order to stay in synch together the team must be able to recognize and respond to the smallest error. Not an easy task when you are moving through the air at over 110 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In order to stay in synch the team must be able to recognize and respond to the smallest error<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p><!-- Perris Generic Supersize [async] --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler){(function(){var s = document.createElement(\"script\"); s.async = true; s.type = \"text\/javascript\";s.src = 'https:\/\/servedbyadbutler.com\/app.js';var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);}());}<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar AdButler = AdButler || {}; AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\nvar abkw = window.abkw || '';\nvar plc356874 = window.plc356874 || 0;\ndocument.write('<'+'div id=\"placement_356874_'+plc356874+'\"><\/'+'div>');\nAdButler.ads.push({handler: function(opt){ AdButler.register(175942, 356874, [860,484], 'placement_356874_'+opt.place, opt); }, opt: { place: plc356874++, keywords: abkw, domain: 'servedbyadbutler.com', click:'CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER' }});\n<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In preparation for competition the teams will have trained all the individual blocks and randoms and will have assembled these formations into many different sequences. BUT the particular 5 or 6 point formation sequences of the competition jumps are randomly drawn the day of the meet. Though the teams will have practiced all the of the dive pool prior to the meet, they will not have practiced the exact sequence of any particular competition jump. The competition jumps are likely to be the first and only time the teams have ever done that exact jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To complicate the mental challenge this sport presents, many of the blocks will force the individual teammates to switch positions with each other during the jump. This means that when the team is going through the sequence for the second time they could be in a different position in the formations. The teammates are then required to remember 10 or 12 different points rather than 5 or 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to see the unique mental challenge that this sport presents unlike any other sport. Formation Skydiving teams have one chance, to perform against the clock, a sequence of moves that they have never actually practiced before. The sequence could involve as many as 12 different formations with a pace that may be faster than one formation per second. The mental skills that must be developed are every bit as critical as the individual physical flying skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never having done the exact sequence before, it is possible to get lost and to forget the next formation. There is also no audible way of telling a teammate who is \u201cbrain locking\u201d what the next point is. Even if there was, the clock is ticking. In the time it takes to recognize someone is lost, and tell them where they need to be, you have lost a lot of points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team must not only train how to avoid brain locks, but how the team and individuals will handle this or other errors when they do happen to get through the error in the least amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know of no other sport that presents these same challenges. Any other athletes or teams that have one chance to perform against the clock have practiced their exact performance hundreds of times before the competition. Ice skaters and gymnasts have practiced their routines hundreds of times. Skiers have done runs on the particular slope and golfers have practiced on the same golf course. In formation skydiving we have one chance to get it right. We will have never done the exact sequence before and we won\u2019t get to do it again. It is these 35 seconds and only these 35 seconds. It is a challenge like no other, and that\u2019s why we love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>It is a challenge like no other, and that\u2019s why we love it.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/f2abcc8d-3c9b-4084-b863-10fefd26ccc4.jpg\" alt=\"The sequence could involve 12 different formations with a pace that may be faster than one formation per second\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PHYSICAL TRAINING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skydiving is also unique in that there is no particular physical size or shape that has an inherent advantage. You can\u2019t be 125 lbs and play professional football, or 200 lbs and be an Olympic gymnast. But people of both these sizes have won the skydiving world championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formation Skydiving doesn\u2019t separate; athletes of all shapes, sizes and genders compete head to head on an even playing field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To perform at their full potential formation skydivers train to be lean, strong and flexible. In addition for the team to achieve the ideal \u201cfall rate\u201d  each member will have an ideal weight they need to maintain. The physical training is often very individualized depending on if they have to work to keep weight on or off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily physical training plan that AIRSPEED did on jumping days included 30 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of flexibility and 45 minutes of strength training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Magic From Dan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Previous Article (8):<\/em>&nbsp;<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/dansmagic-8-competitive-magic\/\">Competitive magic<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Next Article (10):<\/em>&nbsp;<b><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/2017-09-13-dansmagic-tricks-of-the-trade\/\">Tricks of the Trade<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/?s=dansmagic\">All Dan\u2019sMagic articles<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Above All Else<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Above-All-Else.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21758\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Above-All-Else.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Above-All-Else-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several articles in this series are extracts from Dan&#8217;s amazing book, &#8216;Above All Else&#8217;, which covers far more than skydiving.
