The111 1 #1 May 9, 2005 I haven't actually jumped the tracksuit myself yet, but a guy had one this weekend and I went up with him in my S3 and had no problems staying with him. It was a bit odd at first, but once I got the right position down we were solid and had a few 5 second docks and did some over/unders, and even swooped a cloud (well, I left him in the dust to swoop a cloud , though he says he followed me). His forward speed was very good, but his fall rate was pretty high too, and it was a little hard at first to match both at the same time. Usually it's the opposite problem, when you're jumping with a Classic or something, they can float fine but don't drive enough. This tracksuit drove a lot, just didn't float quite as much as a WS. I ended up just flying in a bit of a dive, with arm wings in quite a bit but leg wing was driving a lot. We had an 82 second jump. I was honestly surprised at how well the suit did, and it was only his 4th jump on it I think. He was heavier than me too, I'd guess. Will have to try it myself sometime.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabo 0 #2 May 9, 2005 Hey I just did an 87 sec. Skydive with just the pants, jump alt was 1300 and I opened at 3000 , my Neptune gave me 85 mph average descent speed and my lowest was 82 mph , I am not tall or thin but I think I have dialed the pants really good . I also jumped very far away from the DZ and made it there with no problem (I wish I had a GPS) , I will have the jacket soon, so It will get better Gabo PS I really recommend to anyone buying a set of PF pants and Jackets , they are amazing !!!!!!!!
