First few jumps are belly, the next couple after that are freeflying then on to wingsuits. Then by your 30th jump you can start swooping and jumping with a camera.

I am supposed to jump on Thurs but now it says RAIN. Oh well, if I can not jump that day, I still have my 20 min block at iFLY later on that day. Have you ever tried doing any tunnel training?

I have thought about doing some tunnel training, but as far as i know there isn't a place anywhere near here that has that. Im living near Minneapolis, MN

The only place even close to me is Skyventure in Orlando, which is $45 for two minutes. I don't really have any interest in doing it, but I have some friends who are too scared to actually jump, but they'd like to go in the tunnel.

Which is not too bad I think. The tunnel is a good training tool though. Eventually I want to be able to do FF and RW. So I am using the tunnel as a stepping stone to help aid my progression to my goals. At some point I will be there.....but I am definately not in no hurry.

egloskerry  (Student) May 23, 2010, 3:01 PM Post #14 of 16 (343 views) Shortcut Re: [skycamefalling] First timer! [In reply to] Can't Post That's about half of what Skyventure charges, then. I thought they were kinda high. I guess it's good if you want to cram a lot of training into a short time, without the non-freefall parts. 20 minutes of freefall would take a while...
