A well led tracking dive with fast participants and a good leader is a whole different story. And a ton of fun. We have a couple guys that really know how to backtrack well. In fact, I track medium ok and following these guys in a freefly suit is really nice for stretching my abilities (no side or back sliding with these guys, though there are some guys that can as I hear a good backslider can go quite fast) This next year, if I follow "Josh", I'm switching to my RW suit to have the booties on - he's fast. no vids, and if I did you'd be bored anyway ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its as much distance in a specific time, not altitude. No way! I didnt know that... should have done more research ;) But still, the "flatest" possible track (body orientation and vertical speed) doenst give you the best glide imo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
