Haven't posted in a while. Just moved to the Santa Monica area, wouldn't mind getting some tunnel time. Are there regular groups (RW, etc.) that meetup at tunnels around LA? -m

yeah funny what happens when the town runs out of money and has to make up huge deficits. yawn.

isn't that the same city that had no problem telling the old Skydive Monroe to get lost?

true dat. everyone expects everyone else to drive like a new yorker. the ones who stick out are the ones who try to drive all safe and defensive. no one else knows how to deal with those people. another option that might be worthwhile - there are always apartments available for a few days or a week at a time. craigslist.org will have a bunch of listings. often you can find a decent apartment for a week, for less than 7 days' hotel.

so what was the final verdict on the best local hotels? -m

No kidding. I'm at Chelsea Piers at least twice a week and would love to have a tunnel there. Unfortunately, I emailed Skyventure in August and got the following response: "That project (Chelsea Piers) at this time is not going to happen. The closest tunnel will be at the meadowlands new project (Xanadu) and should open early 09." Ah well.... -m

The Fastrax site also has actual vid of all the blocks, both on exit and in flight. http://www.teamfastrax.org/blockVideos.aspx

Blaster. Best car accessory EVAR. I think they're only available in South Africa, tho.

Last I heard, the Xanadu tunnel (at the Meadowlands) is on plan for an early 2009 opening, while the Manhattan tunnel is not happening.

nope. oh hell no.

yeah still here, although you sound a little too surprised...

Yeah I'm already on it. Thanks for the heads up.

At this point, don't care.

Anyone heading out to a DZ from Manhattan (NYC) this weekend with an open spot in the car? I'm trying to hitch a ride. (I'll pitch in for gas money...)

does anyone have anymore info on this? Whether or not it got scrapped, when it would open, etc? (edit: spelling)
