deadmanwalking 0 #1 September 15, 2006 Just got back from a long trip in Europe, I have dramatically improved my tracking abilitys by not eating. I now weigh 105 pounds and am 6'. And i can track with any wingsuit. My new body type has allowed me to reach a 2 to 1 glide ratio. At the swiss valley from the popular 1500 ft cliff i was pulling over the river. of the mushroom i tracked to the town a min and 30 seconds away. and at the ITW i was pulling over the bar. If you want to step up and track with the best stop your eating! Good luckSymmetry doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #6 September 15, 2006 Careful with your dieting plans there Jessie. You just may get prematurely blown off of the exit point on the next gust of wind. Then again, maybe that was your plan. BTW: even before your diet, guys like you will always have an advantage over semi-fat asses like myself when it comes to tracking. Tall and lanky, that's where it's at when it comes to tracking and wingsuits. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leroydb 0 #10 September 17, 2006 those tracks looks like they have been laid pretty well. I hope they are not worn outLeroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabre210 0 #11 September 17, 2006 Are you saying your own tracks were the best tracks you've ever seen? Incidentally, can you blow yourself too? ian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pendragon 1 #12 September 17, 2006 Oh, [deadmanwalking], you really do like to stir it up, don't you! Actually, Gus and I (along with the Italians ) were given a nice demonstration of tracking and, indeed, it was quite good.-- BASE #1182 Muff #3573 PFI #52; UK WSI #13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinRosen 0 #14 September 18, 2006 Did you reach the river in a wingsuit or in a track, In my world a: Track is a flight without wingsuit only pants and jacket Any help from wings or surfice is a wingsuit flight. huge difference Allso , If youre flying the big ones in norway or other, when youre flying/tracking terminal, speed is the key and for that you need some bodyweight. Im 6,5' and weights 170lbs and IM to light. regards /martin/Martin - Team Bautasten of Sweden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
