>>> Ah! lovely memories.
>>>
>>> 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,
>>> while your partner is at the top of the track recovering from his jam.

>>> At least thats how I remember it.
