Bodyflight.Net 0 #1 March 9, 2005 So... it's been mentioned.. many of you wanted a spot on the member profiles... so, in leiu of that.. I wondered why not just a thread where we can list our CURRENT tunnel profile.. ? It's a start...AHEM.. My name is Dawn, I've been a tunnel junkie since 1997 and it's been 4 days since my last flight. Since I started I've flown: 15 hours @ Powerflyte - 4 hours 5 min @ Flyaway Indoor Skydiving TN - 50 min @ SkyVenture 3.5 hours at Lifted Entertainment/X-treme Air 1 hour 5 min at ADREN-L-N 11 hours 25 minutes at AAC's L-1 VWT I'm not a hot shot stunt flyer.. just a solid flyer & prefer freestyle maneuvers to freeflying... I'm not an instructor just a fun flyer. Pink Suits, Blue Skies & Fast Tunnels, Dawn Suiter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #2 March 9, 2005 HI DAWN - I'm Bill - It's been nearly 11 months since my last visit I have: About half an hour at Flyaway in TN 12 hours at Skyventure, OR most all of the Skyventure time is coached tunnel camps for 4-way skills. I'm type A about RW and type B about FF, so I won't spend the extra for FF stuff in the tunnel. I'm organizing a big group for next week at Orlando where about 5 of us are becoming real addicts. My daughter (9) will be in there for their first ever tunnel visit. ...

diablopilot 2 #8 March 9, 2005 It's been 10 minutes since my last tunnel fix, it's foggy an wet and I've got to go back in an 20 minutes. I haven't kept close track but I figure between 10 and 12 hours of time in the air, and WAY more than that in the chamber. I'm a SKyVenture approved instructor, and coach through much of the progression. (Not signed off for head down *yet*) I love my job, and what the tunnel has done for my flying. Looking foward to much more!---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpergirl 0 #11 March 9, 2005 Hi, my name is Jaime and I have just recently discovered the addicton of the tunnel. My first flight was in October 2004. It has been almost 3 months since my last visit. I have about 30 minutes in the Orlando tunnel and hope to build on that number soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luna 0 #12 March 9, 2005 My name is Heather, and I'm a tunnel addict. It's been 3 weeks since my last flight. I don't keep logs, but I have roughly: 3 minutes in the Flyaway Las Vegas tunnel 25 minutes in the Perris Skyventure Almost 3.5 hours in the Orlando Skyventure I don't have any more time scheduled right now. However, I will most likely be in Orlando for a week in July, and most likely won't be able to keep myself away while there (while money should be an issue, when I'm there, it's just not!). It's just a good thing for my bank account that I don't live near a tunnel (especially because my husband is an addict, too! ). But, it seems like Florida has been my home away from home this year (already been to Orlando twice), and is continuing to be so. We are going to Tampa next month, and a side trip to the tunnel was on the itinerary until we found out how much we are about to owe in taxes. I'm not giving up, though...I'm starting a part-time job! I'm walking a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click Here for more information!

tunnelfly 0 #13 March 9, 2005 Hi tunnelrats, bunnies, and whatever you can throw into a column of air... My name is Andy and I live in Zurich Switzerland, not too far from the tunnel. Although my first flight in there was in 1991, just two weeks after it opened, it took me 8 years to get seriously addicted. I've enjoyed about 30 minutes in the swiss mobile tunnel 1 hour in Cairo, Egypt 2 hours in Genting, Malaysia and over 60 hours in Zurich, Switzerland My last flight in there was 2 weeks ago, just before I left for Korea. Hopefully, if they can keep the promise to restart operations soon, my next one will be in Korea in about 3 to 4 weeks. Of course, what I love most in my life is my wife ... but tunnelflying/freefalling comes just after ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcandalysse 0 #14 March 9, 2005 What does showing your hours mean? Dedicated to improving skills?Addicted to that big tin can?

Reginald 0 #17 March 9, 2005 Hi I’m Ron and I’m an addict. I have 1 hour in the Orlando tunnel and 4 in the Perris tunnel. It’s been just over a month since my last binge. I hit another low this week when I told my boss I needed to take yet another business trip to San Diego in about a month. Of course I’ll stay over Saturday night to get the discounted airfare, ‘cause I’m a dedicated company man. Sure all my meal receipts I turn into the company for reimbursement will read “The Bombshelter” across the top of them. Is that wrong?"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vibeke 0 #18 March 9, 2005 I wonder if the tunnel has taken up insurance covering - and written a formal waiver specifically on the issue of - addiction. I really feel there should be more warnings. I hold this against my coaches from last year!! And the Orlando SkyVenture. I flew 4,5 hours and have been in agony since leaving the tunnel. Now I will need to go there every single year!

Paige 0 #19 March 9, 2005 My name is Paige, I've been a tunnel junkie since 2003 and it's been 10 days since my last flight. I fly this Thurs. Good luck getting tunnel time in Orlando this time of year Since I started I've flown: 15 hours @ Skyventure Orlando - mostly freeflying 15 minutes @ Flyaway Indoor Skydiving Las Vegas - I'm also a flyer who just has fun. Hopefully I will be competing soon so the tunnel time will kick up even another notch My favorite thing about the tunnel is taking new people and going with friends. I get so excited to see others having a good time or learning new skills. Something about sharing all the fun with everyone. I'm all about the more the merrier. edited to add: Great post Dawn!

Avion 0 #20 March 10, 2005 Hi, my name is Brian, and it's been six hours since my last flight I started going to the tunnel about a year ago. The first few times the satisfaction lasted for days. Then after while it started disappearing sooner and sooner. Now, as soon as I get out, I'm ready to go back in. I've got two hundred sixty eight minutes in the tunnel so far. I can belly fly and back fly. I am currently working on sit flying. I know I can stop anytime. It just that I want to keep going. Once I learn how to fly head down, I'll stop, or at least cut back. I know I will. After all, I only do it because I want to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
