    Tracking suit instability

    I have about a dozen BASE jumps with my PF tracking suit and on the longer delays I've had a couple of quite scary moments where my legs have started "wagging" left and right. In some cases it felt like it was really throwing me around quite alot. I tried a slightly wider leg stance on my most recent jump (feet slightly wider than my shoulders) and the "wagging" was much less pronounced.

    If you've had any stability problems with tracking gear what were they and what did you do to solve them?

    The PF suit is the new schnizzle (yes I'm several years behind the curve!), I even left the wingsuit at home on this last trip

    Flex your knees a bit. (sounds like you are going into overdrive without thrust control) Learn the thrust, control the thrust, then flex them out a bit.
    take care,

    His thrusting definitely lacks control.
