==Skybax in the mini-series== |
|||
In the Dinotopia Mini-series, the skybax riders are instead referred to collectively as the Skybax Corps, and individual riders are still called riders but more commonly "cadets" or "pilots". |
|||
To enter the corps, one must undergo the same studying in Waterfall City, though the youth camp is at The Hatchery instead of Treetown. After great labor and meditation, the matriarch chooses which element the youth belongs in (Land, Sea, or Sky). If placed in the Sky, the youth may be assigned to apply to the corps and become a cadet, or possibly a different assignment. |
|||
The corps is more military-like and the rider must train without a skybax, usually on a contraption that simulates riding one. Tactical and strategic courses are also taken in the 100 days the training takes place. Part of the training includes climbing on dangerously steep cliffs and making a leap across two walls, then the cadet carves his or her name in the rock. |
|||
The cadet graduates by taking a saddle and signaling for a skybax to fly to him or her by holding an arm out with a clenched fist. If the skybax approaches, the cadet slings the saddle around it and flies for the first time. If a skybax does not approach, the cadet has been rejected and is dismissed from the corps. |
|||
The uniform the cadets must wear is plain tan, as opposed to the colorful red in the main books. The cadets also must salute their squadron commander by slapping their clenched fist to their heart. |
