Oh my god, it looks like the levitationarium that my friends told me about. So amazing, check it out: http://www.bpmlegal.com/wlevitat.html

Definitely not. I know who Joe Winters is! I was just at work (SVCO) last night and he walked in and started talking to me. He was definitely a nice guy... he is a pilot for Cessna. Talking about wind tunnel flying, he started dropping a bunch of names and even claimed to be one of the pioneers of the backflip twist at flyaway. He was cool but I'm a bit skeptical having not recognized his face or name.

...at least I think that is what he said his name was. Supposedly coming in somewhere around third after John Suiter and Phil Henderson in terms of sheer hours in a tunnel. He said he started out at Pigeon Forge Flyaway and allegedly won a whole bunch of National competitions with freestyle back in the day? I believe he said his name was Joe Woods or maybe Joel Woods. Just wondering if anyone knew who he is? I've never heard of him.

Oh yeah, Stephanie from SVCO will soon help set the women's HD world record in Eloy sometime in March. As talented as she is, I don't think anyone could pull that off without the tunnel. Like Derek Cox, quite an amazing accomplishment considering she only has a few hundred jumps under her belt.

Great post. To add my own personal testimonial that tunnel flying adds a quick learning curve (affordably) to perfectly compliment skydiving like a simulator for flight training... it works for slow learners too! You don't have to be a natural flyer like J. Russ or fearless like Derek Cox to benefit greatly from what these tubes have to offer skydivers. When I started instructing at SVCO, I had an embarrassingly low number of jumps. (Think 30ish.) After a two year absence from skydiving but a good handful of hours in the tunnel, my recurrency jump was a successful, safe and fun 3-way sit. Every skydive since working for a tunnel has been an incredibly fulfilling learning experience for me. Since then, I've been traveling to Eloy as often as I can for some great freeflying. Wanting to be a "well-rounded skydiver," I signed up for a couple one-on-one coaching jumps to translate my tunnel flying into the sky. After two jumps, he wanted to give me my money back. If you want to hear the stories of the looks I get after doing a 4-way HD jump and telling them that it was my 50th skydive or the time I chased some belly-flyers and nailed my first hybrid even though I hadn't flown on my belly in the sky for 3+ years, etc... PM me. Ask anyone around here, I'm a sloooow learner and don't have a lot of actual skydiving experience! But I promise if you make a jump with me, I will do my best and not disappoint. Wind tunnels are not a wonder pill. It requires hard work, dedication and a good attitude to reap all the great benefits they have to offer. So give it a shot and see what it can do for you too!

NO! DON'T! I mean, errr, naaaah. Don't waste your time! Look at us!!

I did all the calculations this morning and according to a very sophisticated algorithm that takes everything into account, yes it's true. Our staff at SVCO is officially the best looking. That was your question, yeah?

Thanks Michael! It was great having you at our tunnel and I hope you come back soon! -Brett
