-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have found with a tunnel, you get a safe amusement ride that offers a nice view of nothing. Merely a fun tool to help in one aspect of skydiving. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, the freefall portion. who goes indoors for a nice view? And tunnels are training facilities, not a ride. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

So the exit shots were cool, and the swoops were cool, but even interviews with Taggle couldn't save us from sound bites from JP and Greg. We are such dorks. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

You are all crazy, hunting humans. And no flippies off the dock! Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Safety first goes without mentioning, but I'm glad somebody did. Learning to safely carve first and with the awareness needed for the size dive you are on was meant to be included with my earlier post. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

All good stuff, and add carving to the mix. By carving around a formation that's floating, you can slow way down. It's not how you may want to spend the entire dive, but if the base slows down temporarily, then it's a good thing to use. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Dude, sounds like a great time, but Lindsay is right about work. Have a boogie on a monday/tuesday for me, would ya? Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

I tend to fly with my legs alot, so I completely understand your problem. I'm not sure what kind of range of motion you can get, but thouroughly stretching is always a good thing before flying. If the hip really is a limit, then you're going to need to transfer the lift you would have been getting from your leg out to other parts of your body. Make sure your non-grip hand is not out to the side. Stay balanced. Get your back working more as it is very powerful. By keeping your head back and cupping air with your back, you may find all the lift you need from that. If your right arm is your strongest docking arm, then try learning to dock with less leg compensation with that one, and then use what you learned by applying that same feeling to your left side. Good luck! Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Awareness is key to a productive session. A kid who likes to just flop around will have fun, but never get any closer to being able to fly on their own. To have a chance at moving on to being closely supervised vs. tightly held on to, a child needs to demonstrate some level of awareness that their movements have consequences (even if he or she doesn't understand what those consequences are).

Nobody relates Perris California to anything but an armpit getto town, except skydivers. First you get whuffos excited about an idea, then you sneak in where it's at. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

doesn't anyone else think this is frikken hilarious?!?! Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Live from the beach: Just got home from working in the tunnel today and I got to meet a lot of dotcommers. You guys are tunnel fiends! I think you could have paid off my education loans with the amount of tunnel time you did today. Maybe not that much, but everytime I turned around there was another one of you guys flying in the tunnel. And you guys don't fly all normal, no, you get hybrids turning points and people surfing on top of each other and you don't care if someone is a belly flyer or a free flyer or just a freak who has no idea how they want to fly, they're all there in the tunnel together! Sounds like a pretty cool world to live in actually. Keep promoting the harmony and unity in skydiving, and focus on what's truely important...beer. Goodnight and we'll play more tomorrow.

It's amazing how much power you have in those booties! You can sitfly (modified) and pull your arms all the way in without losing altitude. Simply Insane. If only I could control the split spin. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Yeah, I've got a random, quick cameo in a FlyBoyz promo that I didn't even know about. We were watching someone's coached video in the bar, didn't fast forward through the promo, and there I was! Good times. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

People did that without pay when I got in the sport...and looking back they were some pretty scary people Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Nathan and Eric. Nate had a camera that got smashed up, so as he got back into the sport he used that camera in the video to make fun of how attached we (ff's mostly) are to our cameras. He wore it golfing, wakeboarding, in the shower, and a bunch of other places too. Funniest thing EVER. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Yeah, I guess my best student to date was a guy. He was traveling with Circ-de-sol-e (stupid american spelling) and was one of their flying trapeze type guys. 10 minutes and he was doing things in the tunnel that take most skydivers a couple hours. I tried to convince him to get better, and then put one of the out door tunnels on stage, that would be pretty incredible. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

From everything I've dealt with in the Tunnel, 12 year old girls are the scariest thing to teach to fly. They arch like there's no tomorrow, if they're consistent then we turn the wind up to nearly freefly speeds, but when they flatten out they dissapear and are never heard from again. On the other hand, guys just weren't built to arch. The bigger they are, the more they cup air with their hips and arch their chest. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

I couldn't vote, you forgot my answer... I cut away long ago, and never bothered looking for the main! Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

It only boasted 31 miles to the gallon. That's not worth the hassle of a hybrid. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

seriously. I think I've pulled at around 500ft. in just about every skydive dream I've ever had and landed sliderup still. Usually I have to pull my dbag and all the lines out before it'll start inflating. Jumping would get old real fast if it was that much work to open everytime. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

Me and Keith sitting up by the exit ducts of the wind tunnel. I have glasses on. I'm taking up picture phone photography...aka phonography. And if anyone want to flash my phone, we could call it phornography. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

I gave up waiting to find out. I quit working on getting a real life in the real world, got work on a DZ, and now I can't wait to wake up everyday. My social life has merged a lot with my "professional" life, but it sure beats what the rest of the world is doing, or not doing. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words

happened twice. Different gear (owned by friends), few jumps, stand both times. The only thing about the gear I remember that was similar was they both had main flaps that came out in freefly (this was '99). The gear was probably made '95ish. Both sets of gear were ok at the time, but not freefly friendly by today's standards. It was probably a combination of a lot of little things, but never nailed down exactly what it was. After a couple of mods to each container, it never happened again. I think I'm a couple of inches shorter though. Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words
