Coring by Jocky from Speed to fly DVD

"As a basic rule of thumb whenever you enter lift, wait 4 seconds and then turn, because that’s the time it takes you to do a full 360 and stay in the lift section, (8-10 seconds 360). Thermalling isn’t just about doing 360’s. You often have to fly straight for a while or do 180-degree turns just to stay in the best section of lift. It’s important to fly away from the areas of less lift as much as its important to fly into the areas of most lift. So when you’re doing a 360 in a thermal, if there’s a section of the 360 that the vario’s beeping drops, then just turn 90 degrees away from that edge and fly straight for a few seconds then turn again, and that way you’ll always tighten up on the best part of the lift and avoid the sink."
