Re: [Calvin19] Newest/best tracking suit setup
Using the pants of the prodigy or the matter setup, gives you drag and therefore lift. Some of us have tried wearing those type of pants with our own jackets, (the ones with rope from thumb to thumb)
and it works ok, but not near as good as the home made. Because the pants are just to big, creating to much drag to go "superterminal"
It is a well balanced setup, but I could imagine that with just a regular jacket you will go to steep, and would have to control it with wider arms.
The jumper filming the 3 way in " Virtus" at 02:50 is wearing this setup and he is starting to fly earlier the the others, but dont have a chance in keeping up the speed of me and Espen. And the speed is whats making us fly..
I would recommend that since you already have a phoenix setup, put ropes in them, stretching and fixing the arms and legs, like seen on Espen in the same clip. Pause it just after the exit, and youll see. He's been wearing that setup for two years, and its just a sporting 0-p jacket and regular hiking pants with ropes/bungee in them, and has been the nr. one tracker here for a long time, but he got out flown and "gave up" the tracking, and started to fly wingsuits again, and is now nr. one there..(Well after Loic of course..)
But nothing flies it self, keep practicing from airplanes, without any type of tracking gear sometimes, but with the right position and techniqe to get the right feel with the air. Go jump with freeflyers, tracking jumps, very good practice!
If you the wear a tracking setup, using the same technique, you should go into superterminal!
If you are interrested in some "coaching", Karskland have the right mountains and the right people. Many helpfull and good trackers here.
There are also some interesting things happening in Karskland when it comes to rig design and tracking outfits.. Hopefully some demo suits will be ready for the big wall season.. And maybe a rig..
Peace out brothers and sisters,
