yep, and also make breakoff arrangements, who goes where etc. And dont track in the line of flight of the plane.

with 85 jumps you should be able to track, so its not that hard. Yes it's good fun.

my last one had 14 people and we were following the leader, doing 90 degree turns every once in a while.
he planned the best direction to go and stuff...

talk to someone with more experience.
it's a lot of fun for sure!

Do RW!

You get to track like your life depends on it... because it does... at the bottom of every RW jump!!

This is almost all I do, it is a blast! I'm currently working on maintaining a close proximity (while belly or back tracking) and eventually want to work on docking and formations.

PS: You should talk with your coach or instructor because tracking (like every other discipline) has unique risks.

If you want to track like your life depends on it ... go on a zoo tracking dive. (It didn't take me long to realize that I don't like zoo tracking dives.)

Good fun. And now that I have my new booties, I can't wait for the next one. At 6'2" and 190 (lots of body area for weight) I'm already a very good tracker. If the first few RW jumps, and resultant tracking, are any indication, I am going to really zip along.

Then throw in some barrel rolls while staying on track with the group! The ladies swoon...or is it swoop? Ehh whatever

Old thread I know, but I have done a couple of tracks usually consisting of only two or three people. I can fly very relative to others, but not close enough (or in control enough) to dock. Fall rate is in control, heading is in control. It is just the final approach when going for a dock that I simply lose. Any tips/suggestions beyond doing more jumps?!?!?

Cheers
