Brutus 1 #1 August 1, 2013 I am a novice skydiver (~60 jumps) and was thinking about taking some time at a wind tunnel to improve my basic skills in belly flying and also try some freeflying basics. The question is that I would be travelling around the North east coast and also Canada border. Is there any noticeable difference between the New Hampshire tunnel and the one located close to the Niagara Falls resort? Thank you in advance and forgive my grammar or spelling (not quite high English level) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #2 August 1, 2013 Brutus Is there any noticeable difference between the New Hampshire tunnel and the one located close to the Niagara Falls resort? Yes. There is a huge difference. The one in New Hampshire will be a much better tool for skydiving training. The other style of tunnel (in Niagara Falls) may be fun but it is not nearly as realistic a freefall simulation."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

I suppose I should really make a coach to take advantage of the time, souldn´t I? By the way I am going with my brother who never has experienced freefalling. Is it worth for him, too?

kcjen24 0 #4 August 1, 2013 QuoteIs it worth for him, too? IMHO, yes... if he likes to at least try activities that might be considered a little "out of the ordinary." My brother went to the Denver tunnel with no skydiving experience and absolutely LOVED it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonnie 0 #5 August 1, 2013 Stay away from the Niagara Falls tunnel,....it will be a waste of time and money. If you're in New Hampshire, Montreal, Canada is closer than Niagara Falls and they have a proper wind tunnel. The owners of the Montreal one are currently building one near the Toronto area, but it isn't expected to be up and running until next yearNEVER GIVE UP!
