> A jamming tool, was for us, a length of towel rolled up tightly about six
> inches long which fit into a pocket sewn into your tights on the rear. If
> your tights didn't have a pocket you simply stuck it into your tights.
> This roll was what your partner grabbed to sling you forward, transferring
> the momentum he gained from diving down from the top of the track.

> A jam is what you're doing for a few laps at the bottom of the track,
