skycat 0 #26 August 30, 2003 Put your rig on and tighten everything up and shrug your shoulders.....then loosen your leg straps some and shrug your shoulders again. I bet you will notice a difference. If you read any of hooknswoops articles on tracking he recommends doing this. Shrugging your shoulders to your ears while tracking increases surface area and allows you to track farther. How do I know this works, I used to be a super tight legstrap wearer, then I started loosening them, now I can out track pretty much anyone, including hooknswoop. I just get tired before he does so on from altitude tracking contests he wins.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll let my track suffer just so I am not walking with a limp_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

But, I do the same thing and I've never had a problem. It felt really weird the first few times I went up without my legstraps as tight as I usually set them, but it's no problem at all, even with boxer shorts. Very comfy under canopy, too.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,153 #31 September 4, 2003 Quotethere's not a lot of gaffer tape, it's on the low man on the hill. I't not even really noticeable unless you're looking for it... Just got mine today, and I disagree. First thing I noticed was the tape and I wasn't looking for it ( hadn't read this thread until now). ps it's low WOMAN on the hill.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
