» [- Jan 21, 2010 at 11:45 PM -] Richelle says: We have the belt system with one rope that comes up behind the skater's head. A couple of things she mentions in the video are different than what I do. I place myself a little bit ahead of the skater on the jump entrance and I stand on the opposite side than what she does. Those were the instructions that came with the harness and they work for me.
