tracking suit advice
im thinking of getting tracking pants, is it possible to wear just tracking pants, i guess its better to wear suit and jacket, but im just wondering what your views are on just wearing the pants or just the jacket?
thanks

Re: [lewissimo] tracking suit advice
I borrowed my brothers Birdman impact pants Blush, I didn't have the the top half of the tracking suit but I still got a very decent forward movement. It did feel very unbalanced though. Get a full suit if you can.

I'm saving up for a phoenix fly tracking suit... the whole thing Wink

To answer your question: yes, it is possible to wear just the pants..... but I don't like it

Just the pants can work, just the jacket, not so much.

The old Bird-man Pantz (if that's what you're talking about) don't really have anything to do with a proper tracking suit.

for a steeper, faster track, just wear the pants and a trim rain-jacket

for a slower, floatier track, wear both the jacket and the pants

for a backwards track, wear the jacket and a pair of hot pants

thanks guys, i did wonder whether just the jacket would make you track backwards :)
