Tips for Bigway Skills No 10
STOP!
To stop a dive you need to apply as much force in the opposite direction as you put into the dive itself. The effort and distance required to stop will be proportional to how long and how hard you accelerated.
Aim to feel a pressure on the air when you initiate the stop. You are likely to be travelling quickly so, rather than ‘easing’ into the transition, you need to make a determined effort to brake.
When you have stopped you can reset to neutral and finish your approach to the formation.
