|
"Height above crowd" measured at height of dive
|
|
|
|
The dives:
|
|
|
|
Feet - Feet-first. Lamest, also hurts a lot of people if you're wearing
|
|
combat boots (uncool). Most first-timers are feet-firsters.
|
|
Cat - Jumping forward, arms and legs spread, facing the crowd, like a
|
|
cat does when tossed in the air. The vast majority of divers fit
|
|
this category.
|
|
Swan - A real swan dive, with feet together and arms spread behind. Usually
|
|
takes a lot of height to perform well.
|
|
Back - like a swan but back-first. Aim is critical; miss the crowd and you're
|
|
in serious pain.
|
|
Bomb - Just like the "water-bomb" dive in a swimming pool, the idea to
|
|
clear away as big a hole as possible. Effective in eliminating
|
|
jerks. Timing critical - if you're seen by the crowd, it's over;
|
|
The only one to get corked will be you.
|
|
F. Flip - Forward flip. Usually done from higher stages with tight security;
|
|
the trick is to get your feet away from the bouncers as soon as
|
|
possible, hence the need for the forward flip.
|
|
B. Flip - Back Flip. Rarer than the F. Flip, usually done in haste due to
|
|
radically changing crowd positions. Also requires greater
|
|
gymnastic skills.
|
|
Heli - So named because of it's helicopter-blade-like twist, this dive
|
|
gains the most points for sheer level of difficulty. The idea is to
|
|
get your body whirling like a helicopter blade. Warning-highly
|
|
dangerous, but looks incredible. Best done from very high altitiudes.
|
|
|
|
Bonus Points:
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Add 2 points per dive for wild screams / arm-leg gestures.
|
|
|
|
A cat dive resulting in a handstand on the crowd adds 5 points.
|
|
|
|
Dual-diving with a partner gains 5 points each.
|
|
|
|
Negotiating your way to the top of a monitor speaker stack and diving from
|
|
there - add 5 points.
|
|
|
|
Diving on a bouncer (takes guts) - add 10 points.
|
|
|
|
Somehow getting to the light rack above the stage and diving from there
|
|
gains you 15 additional points.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Penalties -
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Landing on another diver, subtract 2 points.
|
|
|
|
Misdirected dive into "curious onlooker" portions of the crowd - minus 5
|
|
points.
|
|
|
|
Diving on a performer onstage - uncool! Minus 10 points.
