Wow, so someone doesn't like flying snaps! Proposal 2016-11B allows competitors to use a 4 point roll in lieu of the snap roll in the Intermediate free program. Apparently a 4 point roll has the same K as a full inside snap which I was surprised to read. IMHO, the snap is far more difficult than a 4 pt roll.
I don't agree with this change, but am interested in what others think. The rationale for the change does not hold water. There are many maneuvers that if placed incorrectly could result in an unsafe condition (a split s after a high speed exit or a spin at the end of a sequence). A new intermediate pilot should seek out advice for all the figures. Every judge that has signed off my free's gave me feedback.
