Avion 0 #28 March 17, 2005 What excites me most about the tunnel is that I can stay in freefall for more than 50-60 seconds Other things I like about the tunnel are the knowledge and friendliness of the instructors, the cost compared to jumping, and the fact that I get to watch a bunch of the best coaches in world teaching their patrons as much as I want for free Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paige 0 #29 March 17, 2005 QuoteI agree with Dom because it's not the time flown in the tunnel only that would be what is making you sore. Not the case for everyone: ----Don't jump, fly tourist slot, get tired sore if you aren't active. ----Skydiver flying in the tunnel for the first time and spending sig. time on your belly. ----Flying for more than 10 min. your first time. I tend to agree with Rosa and Dom too though. I know I have flown my ass off for a half hour and been sore the next day. I also know I have spent 20 min. flying just as hard and been just as sore. Maybe sometimes there is no rhyme or reason. I'm in there a lot so I rarely get super sore unless I'm doing HD. The hip hurts a little after the head down; pushing my left leg as wide as it can go is tough but its also gaining me strenght!Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tdog 0 #31 March 19, 2005 QuoteWhat excites you most about the tunnel? Seeing improvement in my own skills so quickly. I did a few hours of tunnel at Perris and stayed at the IHOP (the DZ house near the tunnel.) At 6AM hearing it was enough to wake me up, jump out of bed, and be ready to skydive... And I am not a morning person. I normally do my first jump at noon. I so want a tunnel closer to home. For anyone who goes to Perris, be sure to check out the Saturday Evening League. Dominic invited me. Wow... Fast action, hard core. You will learn so much just from watching… I actually want to take a camera and video the league from the perspective of the benches. The in-tunnel camera from above does not give good perspective to the legs and torso in the high energy fast moving stuff. You can see great skydivers do awesome things and be just a few inches away. Seeing it from below or right in line with their bodies is awesome for learning. When they hit the glass it is just like watching hockey from an on-the-ice seat. (Hey Dominic, if I send ya a DV tape, will ya record the league from the perspective of where you were playing referee last Saturday. ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Paige 0 #32 March 19, 2005 Wooooooo Right on girlie, which one?
