BMFin 0 #1 February 19, 2007 Anyone using a rig in the tunnel ? What kind is it ? Is it a tunnel rig or is it just your real rig with some mods ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigelh 0 #2 February 19, 2007 At Bodyflight we have Tunnel Rigs that have been specially made for us, Several teams use them for 4-way training and they have been used for Freefly, it's hard work on your back for sure! Fastrax have rig covers that have been specially designed for their Javelins so the team train in exactly the same rigs that they would use in the sky which is pretty cool. There are soem pictures but i don't know where, Nigel-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Sponored by NZ Aerosports, CYPRES 2, Tonfly & L&B Team Dirty Sanchez #232 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least I would definetly wanna take a rig with me when simulating freefall.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigelh 0 #4 February 19, 2007 Our Tunnel Rigs can be used by anyone for £10 per day. It's best to first get used to the tunnel without a rig on, one less thing to worry about.

matthewcline 0 #7 February 19, 2007 It doesn't restrict learning once you have moved through the basics. Start rig free and develop good free fall skills first then move to using the rig. Use of the rig really only benefits those using the tunnel as a tool to train to be a better skydiver (aside from the novelty option of course). The military use the tunnel as a tool and incorporate the rigs AFTER the tunnel has been used to aide the student in being a decent free faller first. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
