zinot 0 #1 July 8, 2012 Hi everyone! I had the opportunity to enjoy my first tandem about two weeks ago and it was horrible... ;-) I am not addicted or would consider to do such a thing a second time... Noooooot! I piled the cents on top of each other for about two years now and hopefully I am able to pay an AFF course in Switzerland in the beginning of next year. As pre-exercise I am thinking of a indoor turbine FF but some people told me I should not do it because it is a completely different thing.... what would you recomend?! If you say yes, when should I do the course, when I want to start the AFF as soon as the saison begins in 2013? Thanks for this help and cya!Do not fall...FLY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hub1100 0 #2 July 9, 2012 zinot, welcome to the sky and the community. ok, yes, tunnels are different. how's that? unexpected? tunnels require discipline in a smaller column of air. many have analogized 'skydiving space' to a 'football field' and a 'tunnel space' to a 'bed room'. my daughters learned to skydive in a tunnel, because of age, and want to jump when they become 'of age'. they both understand body aerodynamics, from the tunnel. they can both turn on the head of a pin, and stop on heading. different, yes! for the better? absolutely. many many live skydivers take their skills to the tunnel to improve. my question to 'our' readers is: Has anyone's skills deteriorated in the tunnel? imho. -hubs-Anyone can swim, only a few swim well. Anyone can skydive, everyone can skydive well. Practice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
