No jumps yet (this weekend) but still having fun!

Recommended Posts

I got to play in "Frikken Insanity's" two way Tunnel Leauge competition tonight. WAY too much fun!

Best of all for me is that it's not the pit one team against another type competition as it's kind of a round robbin for team mates. You change partners in the two ways each round, and at the ent you get an individual score.


Forgot I could still turn points!:D

It is my understanding that there is someone who wishes to setup a wind tunnel in australia. Due to the housing market boom investers are hard to come by, but when that gets resolved they will build it and we will come. I do not see it will be something that will happen in the near future but crossing fingers it will happen. I am more than certain they did not go bankrupt.

It is great to see you are having fun on a weather day. I am just starting to learn how to turn points, so you have one (well alot more than one) up from me. Glad to hear someone is having fun with wind between the knees.

Also i would be interested in knowing how the scoring works. Is it just based on points or style as well ;) What happens if you head down on the matts do you get bonus points hehe.

You can also see pics of the one they had running in australia for three years. I can not find pics of the original one in '86 though.
There is one in New zealand and skydivers get a good discount.
