Freefly tunnel training

[chrisjudice 0]

I'm thinking of taking a month off work this summer to learn how to freefly with the goal of filming tandems..

Who would be a good coach and which tunnel? I'm not too interested in California... I'm from there so when I travel back to the states I'd like to go somewhere other than home.

Cheers for any tunnel and coach suggestions!

Joe Winters, and I hear he's at the new tunnel in Raeford, NC.

And I don't think the goal of filming tandems is the right reason to learn freeflying, but whatever floats your boat.

Thanks i'll look him up..

I would rather improve my camera with freeflying and that does float my boat! I very rarely fun jump..

I'm curious, In your boat... Why would I want to learn freeflying?

Cheers

I was thinking that Tandem Camera is not something that requires much freeflying.


And of course the best reason to learn to freefly in the tunnel or otherwise, is because it's fun.

one of the first things thaught to me by my mate and instructor, a guy with 11'000+ skydives: "whereever skydiving takes ya': its ALWAYS FUN!!"
out of this enormous number, about 6'000 were tandems..

the best skydiver is not the guy turning the most points, its the guy having the most fun!

I haven't seen Joe in like two months. Are you sure he works in Raeford tunnel?!

I'm sure he had a Baby or is about to..... Congrats if it's the former.

So my guess is he's been at home as much as possible.

[stormywinters 1]

I am sure he works there(Justin?)!!!
I did have a baby boy!!! He is the love of my life!! Aidan Channeller Winters 8lbs 8oz. and Ethan Tyler Winters (age 2.5)
I have had a couple weeks off, and back to work(Justin!)!!!
I do leave to New Hampshire tomorrow, for a week, then I come back to work at XP for 2 weeks, then go to Colorado for a week, home for a few days, then to Russia for 2 weeks.

Nice! Congrats to twins even! Hope you're doing well.

[stormywinters 1]

NOT TWINS??? Ethan is 2.5 yrs old.

Joe,

You'll have to excuse Justin....He has ADD, unless your talking about skydiving.

Congrats on your new addition.

[stormywinters 1]

Thanks man!
Justin is just on his head too much, and blood is rushing in too many different directions.

If you're heading to North Carolina, another excellent freefly instructor would be Mick Nuttle. Have fun.
