<DIV>I understand what you are trying to say by referring him to the rule book,
Steve. But I think his ( and my ) question would be referring to not so
much as to how it should look and the downgrades, but how to do the thing
mechanically in the first place to make it look right.</DIV>
<DIV>I just moved up to Intermediate myself this year, and was and still am
a bit challenged with the sequence, but would welcome the positive snap as
training for Advanced. I know the sequences are supposed to be building
blocks, and it would be quite a step to go to a 45dg down negative snap
right away! Oh yeah, and an Avalanche...</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG> I would suggest going to the rule book first, the last
issue of the K-factor Don Ramsey goes over the snap from a judges view, which
is where you really need to start.</STRONG></DIV>
