Talk:Tracking (freeflying)

Can you really track at 100mph?

Yes-ish. A typical terminal velocity for a boxman body position is about 120mph. Some very good trackers can track at a glide ratio of 1:1, that is, 1 mile forward for every mile down. Tracking will slow down your fallrate, so yes... going 100mph forward while going 100mph downwards would be plausible, but by no means easy. Skydiver 16:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
