Re: [n_pertuset] DW's "Aerials in B.A.S.E." article
I was actually thinking about that article a month ago and thought that it might be important to mention. It never talks about aerials and the effect that wind has. It would really only come to play on bridges and antennas, but I have had a handful of bridal wraps doing aerials that were directly due to the wind. Front flips in a tail wind are bad (in my opinion, of course) as the wind will blow the PC forward, and if you are ending in a sitting position at pull time, it is almost inevitable that the bridal will wrap your arm. On the other hand, in a head wind it will blow it safely behind you. The opposite can be said for gainers, head wind bad (especially if you are pitching more head down than not) and a tail wind will blow it in front of you away from your legs. I figured this might be important to bring to light, I got away with the wraps that I had, but better to prevent them before they happen. Hope it helps.
