"LOL i love these comments from skydivers.....normally before they get in the tunnel and bounce of the walls....before the "New tunnel instructors" give them a few pointers..(For Free by the way) and they all end there session saying what a great time they have had..." hahaha! I would have to agree with this. Given I am not a skydiver (not saying i ever wont be, just haven't gotten around to it) but i do have my tunnel time granted its not much because I haven't been working at SVO for very long. Some guys come in thinking they are the shiznit because they have 10000+ jumps yet they have no tunnel time.. they get in there and they look like wuffos most of the times. Ive even seen wuffos jump in there with no skydiving experience at all and they do way better because they pay attention to what their instructor tells them, whereas some of you skydivers think you already know how to fly in an enclosed air column and quite frankly majority of the time you suck on your initial first minute or so... While on the topic of instructors, we have the best guys around! They work their asses off to help you and the fact that some of you think its "comical" to get coaching from someone who has less than seven sky dives is just sad. One of the whole selling points about the tunnel is that YOU DON'T NEED SKYDIVING EXPERIENCE TO FLY IN IT!!! They are in there every day learning new things while perfecting what they already know. They all have hours upon hours of tunnel time under their belts. They are the best of the best and do whatever they can to help you achieve your goals for your session. Just because they haven't flown in the sky doesn't mean they don't understand how it all works. These guys are amazing and you should be happy they are willing to go through what they go through on a daily basis and are still enthusiastic about helping you with your flying. These guys love what they do and for those of you who say all the SVO employees hate it there, you better check your sources because I see these guys every day and i never hear them complain. They love teaching people how to fly because its fun and they want others to be just as enthusiastic about it as they are. Sometimes you forget that its really about having fun. From what I see by all these posts I have gathered that those of you who have posted negative comments about SVO have to have a stick or two shoved up your butt hole. Seriously, its obvious that the only reason why you are posting what you did is because you want to place the blame on someone else. A few of you were fired from SVO, thats your own fault. There are always rules to follow and if you cant man up and follow them then thats on you. It is expected to take it out on the tunnel but come on, grow up! As for you local skydivers who are unhappy with us, we have acknowledged that we had somewhat lost the connection with the skydiving community. As of recent, we have been taking the steps necessary to rebuild what was lost. If there is something you don't like that we do, stop hiding behind your computer screen and come see us. Talk to us! let us know what you would like to see. We are open to suggestions. Complaining on here is completely pointless. Man up to your posts, come see us and don't be afraid to talk in person. As for the air straightener.. that thing is a beast. We had employees working around the clock piecing that thing together. Yes it did take a while, but being that this is the type of company that has a maxed out daily profit (we can only take a certain number of people a day) its kind of hard to just shut down completely and have it in over night. Go buy yourself one, put it together, then get back to me and let me know how fast you got it together. About Marc. He is a cool guy and means well. He is a respectful business owner and that means doing what is necessary to better your company. Drop in sometime while he is in town and chat with him for a few. You will come to know that he is very proud of the tunnel and what we have to offer and wants the best for the customers, them being wuffos and skydivers. Last time he was here he actually went flying for a while and was getting coached by some of our instructors. He loved it in there and understands why tunnel time is important not only to you skydivers and wuffos, but to us employees as well. So.. that being said, lets all pull the sticks out of our asses, get on with our lives, put the past behind us, and get over ourselves. Whining on here wont get you jack. -KT ps Ari you totally kick ass
