The Black Sling Curriculum
The end...?
|
To earn your Black Sling, you must have a Blue Sling Certification and perform any six of the following tricks:
- Gozo’s Quad Right Shoulder Toss - Back Spin with Three Full Rotations* - Zykotic - Jeupacabra - Stationary Triple Full Ninja - Sextuple Aerial - Septuple Aerial - 720 Varial - Triple Aerial Crossplane to BTB Catch - Jeup Hook - OTH Triple Skip Spin (3x Cont.) - OTH Quad Aerial - OTH Quint Aerial - Quad Heaven's Whip - Quad Hell's Whip - Triple Satan's Whip (+ 5 OTH Cont.) - Quad Back Ninja - Quad Rising Sun BTB Flow Catch - TIC Varial - Centino XPlane Varial BTB Power Catch - Quad Side Toss (or Aerial Toss) BTB Power Catch - Quint Side Toss (or Aerial Toss) BTB Power Catch - UTL Varial of your choosing (360 Varial + Under Right Leg Catch) - 540 Varial of your choosing (360 Varial + 180 for BTB catch) (minimum 2.5 rifle rotation) For a total of six tricks. IMPORTANT NOTE: All Black Sling Qualifications MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE 540 Varial in order to pass. * For clarification, the back roll with 3 full rotations means the sections of the rifle will cross from one side of the neck to the other 5 times. For instance, 1 full Andres Roll has the bolt of the rifle pass from the left side of the head to the right side of the head. 2 full Andres Rolls, however, has the bolt pass from the left side of the head to the right, the butt pass from the left side of the head to the right, and the bolt pass from the left side of the head to the right once again.

Grading
Black Slings are Pass/Fail. Failure conditions include:
Black Slings are Pass/Fail. Failure conditions include:
|
(1) The rifle is caught exclusively by the sling. It is acceptable if one hand catches the sling AT THE SAME TIME the other hand catches the rifle.
(2) The rifle touches the ground at all at the time of the catch. (3) A trick is not performed as required (such as unauthorized wind ups, especially during stationary triple full ninja - see the attached video for expectations). (4) Two feet must be on the ground at the time of the catch (exceptions are made for drillers in the middle of an otherwise controlled step. This rule is to avoid a qualification video where the driller lunges for a lucky, uncontrolled catch.) (5) The scorer reserves the right to make additional judgment calls (if an issue arises, it will be discussed prior to livestreams) As a reminder, it is customary, but not required, to begin and end your assessment with a Present Arms. |
