Top 5 Reasons You Go To The Tunnel?

Recommended Posts

Top 5 reasons you go to the tunnel?

1. To see lots of my friends and to travel all over- I really can't thank all the guys and gals at SVOrlando enough, for helping in my progression. I still have sooooo much to learn from you all. Please, don't ever stop giving me advice, I need all the help I can get :D! Thank you to all my friends I have met in my travels, I can't wait to get back out to fly with you all again.

2. To rehab my hip (no, seriously, it does.)

3. To flail on my head :D;)

4. To blow off stress

5. To train for tunnel comps. (some day...when I won't make an ass out of myself :D)

1. Because it FEELS amazing
2. There are TWO within 1 hour of my house.. the closest DZ is 3 hours away!!!(of course that's why I moved here;))
3. The whole family can fly and does
4. It's cheaper than skydiving & less stressful
5. It's now a 3rd generation family tradition.. it's becoming a part of our heritage!!!

1. To put 60 skydives worth of wear on my jumpsuit in just one hour.

2. To have hundreds of bugs splat all over my helmet face shield.

3. To fall out the door while doing four way, and being proud that I landed on my feet.

4. To get free ear plugs for every session.

5. To consume more electricity in one hour than my house burns all month long.

---:P---

6. Because it is almost as good as sex, better than sex with some.

At least you're smart enough to wear a full face;) I'm working on head down and don't want to ruin the paint on my Z1 with the metal tunnel grate, so I wear a protec and hate it :S

That's why the tunnel is the first thing up and running after a hurricane. The rest of the state was a mess but the tunnel was running:D:):S

Since I work in another industry that uses gaffers tape, I get bunch of tape for free... I might suggest that I could lend you a roll, so that you could "protect" your helmet... Two to three layers of gaff could "fix" that problem... Come to my neck of the woods some day, perhaps when the colorado tunnel opens (if it does) and I will give ya all the gaff you need.:P

1. To share good times with good friends.
2. To encourage each other to try new things.
3. Fly for hours instead of falling for seconds.
4. Make memories to last a lifetime.
5. Just to have FUN!

It's hard to beat the sensation of closing your eyes and just floating with no concern for time, altitude, malfunctions, or other flyers.

1) because the weather in Ohio SUCKS!!!!
2) because it's an excuse to go to Florida and get out of school
3) because watching the video is a very useful procrastination tool (like I need more help)
4) because it helps make me a better skydiver

5. Because my company builds generators and anything that uses that much electricity is GOOD!

4. Because I like the tingly feeling I get in my fingers when I'm done.

3. To watch the WOW! look on grown-ups faces when they hit the air.

2. To watch the WOW!!!!!! look on kids faces when they hit the air.

1. Because Paige and Ari let me share their time and help me feel less "neophyte".

Why do we travel the distance (live in Denmark, Scandinavia, Northern Europe)?

1) The tunnel is perfect for basics. One on one with coach.
2) The tunnel is great for training speed on random work.
3) The unique references from tunnel walls, to train precision.
4) 2 minutes fly time, and the possibility of doing serious amouts of training within very short time frame.
5) For the fun of it! Its the best toy ever build. Period! ;)

1. It's one of the most FUN things I've ever tried

2. Improves flying incredibly fast and don't even need to have my rig with me

3. Best diet in the world - and for a change it's real fun diet

4. Best workout for toning muscles

5. It's perfect when I'm happy, sad, stressed, chilled, hyperactive, lazy - all in all regardless how I feel it makes me feel even better
