 I am wondering if anyone has experience practicing off the perrine, I was thinking of having a platform running off into a track, and pull after a 2-3 second track, then try it in a suit. im not sure if there is much value in this, does anyone with more experience in dead air tracking have a better suggestion?

I've done quite a few off the bridge and they taught me a lot and made it count when I really needed it. Go for it.
Plus, they're super fun

Hello BFL# 257, pleasure to meet you.

My ideal body position for tracking at 2-3sec is very aggressive pitched head down and gaining large energy.

My ideal body position for deployment at 2-3sec slider down is head high with minimal angular movement or loosing energy.

There are 2 main reasons for these techniques..

1. To preserve the body.
2. To preserve the equipment.

The attached picture shows the potentual body position that can induce critical peal force on harness. Understand the forces involved in what you are attempting.

BASE jumping has became so dumb in the last few years. I'm done.

Try balloon jumps. Try Heli jumps. Try big antenna jumps. Sub 500ft bridges won't teach you anything.

thank everyone for the imput!
ill put it to most practical use.
