  1. Cheapest tunnel prices in the world ! $3200 for 11 hours at Freezone in Moscow. I recently took a trip to Freezone to try and learn to freefly. Knowing that it was going to take a lot of time to start to gain the skills to fly properly, I decided that i couldnÕt afford the $800-1,000 per hour rates in the states. I found Freezone and started emailing the staff there. They were very friendly and helpful with setting up everything for me. Everything from help with invitations for Russian Visa, hotel suggestions, selecting coaches that were awesome flyers and spoke english, free shuttle daily to and from the hotel/airport, trips to the bank (ATM) and help with anything we needed. Plane tickets from the states can be found from $450-700 from LAX and hotels can be anywhere from $15-50 a night. Add it all up and for the price of 4-6 hours in the states you can get 11 hours there.

    Freezone has recently upgraded their whole facility that includes a 16.5Õ and 12Õ tunnels. They have a restaurant, bar, team rooms with video to debrief and tons of floor space to use creepers or stretch out or whatever. They are currently building a hotel on site as well but it wasnÕt open yet. They will have a full weight room and another bar/restaurant in it.

    I went with another flyer that had about 25 hours of tunnel already and was wanting to learn more dynamic type of flying. The coaches were great in getting him to progress and learn new techniques. I was pretty much starting from the beginning having to re-learn back and sit flying ( I havenÕt flown in 3 years). I did get to do some head down but I need more practice. I am heavier big guy weighing about 250 lbs and they spent a lot of time with me to learn to gain extra lift from every way possible without just turning up the tunnel speed. In the US tunnels that I had trained in previously, they just cranked up the speed to get me up and I wasnÕt learning the right technique. These guys really spent the time to teach me the right way. We could fly, then go to the team room and watch the videos of the flights and critique techniques.

    You can even bring your own coach if you want and use their facility that way if you wish. There was another large group of 12-13 flyers that brought their own coach. They will work with you and help set up any schedule you want that works.

    Coaching rate for private coaching is $100 EUR or $118 USD per hour, they have many coaches at different levels for whatever you need. Many of the coaches also compete in tunnel competitions and are skydivers themselves.

    I just pulled those rates off of their website freezone.net December 29th 2017. We flew under a cheaper price of $2900 for 10 hours and if you buy 10, you get 1 hour for free. Looks like their prices just went up a little since we booked a month ago.

    So if you are looking to do a bunch of bulk time in the tunnel, check out Freezone. I canÕt say enough good things about how they treated us and how great the coaches and staff were. Plus, it was pretty cool visiting Moscow and seeing everything the city has to offer.
