How similar is being on your own during tunnel time to being released and on your own in real free fall time? My next AFF is #3 - first release jump - and I took the opportunity on a pre planned visit to Phoenix this weekend to try out some tunnel time at Eloy. I did 2 x 2 minute sessions. I was hoping it would have given me a comfort factor going into AFF3 but I'm not sure what to take from it. It was fun, for sure. I got stable-ish for no more than 2 minutes in total - but not a constant 2 minutes. I hugged the tunnel walls some. I also found I had to adopt a very hands forward position i.e. upper arms level but more like 45 degrees out than 90 degrees to the side. Felt more aware of forward and back motion using the legs too. The final 10 or so second where the coach takes you up and down in a spiral was a insight into how controlled moving and stopping really can be in free fall - and a note that I'm a long way from it lol
