ianmdrennan 2 #1 June 18, 2007 Well, I was going to post this in the wind tunnel forum but decided not to as I wanted jumpers who may not visit that forum to know how impressed I was with Colorado's tunnel AND instructors and that it's not a 'tunnel rat' tunnel. All the instructors were skydivers, current or inactive, with a good number of jumps. I just got back from a trip where I had the opportunity to freefly in the tunnel, comfortably, in my regular freefly suit AND included in tunnel price is coaching....pretty damn cool. The recirculating air makes the temperature very comfy and the airflow is super smooth! If you're ever in the area and are looking for some good tunnel time to hone your skills I can absolutely recommend it! Thanks to Jason, Brad and Derek for helping me have such a great time!

IMO it's not an advertisement...just an endorsement...just like I'd give any good dropzone...just like we see daily in the 'bitch' threads - this time though, heaven forbid, it's something nice to say about a service. Now, do you have something constructive to add?

I did the basic drills for them for the first couple minutes, as I already had some time in Perris, and in a matter of 30 or so minutes I was off the net on my head on my own. Now, remember, when you start this....you beat the crap out of your instructors...and I never hear them complain. Well...maybe a little. Over my next couple visits there, I am to the point where I am able to transition in both directions, participate in a 4-way, and play around just like I was in the air. Those boys helped me immensely with the small things that you dont even know your doing in the sky. I am a much more refined flyer because of it. Tdog......now that's an advertisement. Don't like it?
