1,000 jumps did some for me, but didn't do it all. A lot of RW big ways... but mostly getting absolutely smoked, over and over on tracking dives by tall, limby guys made me wanna be a really good tracker.



Yes one of the reasons why I started getting on some tracking dives a few months ago was because I realized that my tracking after breaking off sucked and I was too steep. But believe it or not, I discovered the joy of being in those tracking dives during the boogie. Getting the Omar, Amy, TJ or Jeffro slot is awesome, but I also love the visuals of being on the outside edge of a tracking dive and seeing 16 or so other people in the flock. I can't wait to start doing more tracking dives at my DZ and I'm looking forward to the day where I can lead a tracking dive or better yet, fly under a large formation the way Greg does.

Oh yeah, little secret from Jimmy Tranter, while tracking, when it seems like you're running out of steam, breath. ;) Everytime I'm tracking with Jeffro Speedy Gonzales on the lead it seems to work.



Thanks for the info. I'll try to remember that the next time I'm on a tracking dive.

Cough cough tracking Pantz cough cough



Without a doubt my tracking pantz have helped me. But I also think that some of my success during the boogie tracking dives was because I'm slowing gaining more experience in this discipline. But as I said in our Eloy conversations: I DO LIKE MY TRACKING PANTZ!!!

Rosa, how is that hip of yours by the way?



Thank you for asking. Being too lightly loaded under canopy can be dangerous. My hip is feeling much better because I am taking it easy.

Unfortunately, my health has taken a turn for the worse. My chronic illnesses have finally caught up with me. I am now in pain, typing in bed and taking antibiotics. I have my yearly surgery (private, so please don't ask) on Monday, and I just realized that it's my sky birthday that day. [:/] Oh well, I can always DREAM that I am flying. After all, I will be high on that anesthesia! :ph34r:

I've got Gimp's video and Derek's of the catch. It will be featured on the DZ.Eloy video which will be out by the end of the month. I've got a whole lot of video to clip and storyboard this week.



And I have Derek's landing with the main in between his legs on video!! But you'll run into that in my footage :P
