Been to the tunnel..

Recommended Posts

It was an outdoor tunnel in Huckelhoven (don't know how to get those lame dots on the letter u), germany yesterday.

I went there with my brother, and a couple of friends (all recently born skydivers..:).
We had great fun, but man it's difficult.
The outdoor tunnel wasn't anything like a real skydive...Waaaay way harder.
After a few (pretty nasty:) attempts I managed to do some turns, frontloops and a sit.
Great fun...but rather expensive

I was expecting all kinds of "NO WAY YOU CAN SIT IN THAT TUNNEL" replies...:)

The (sad:) truth is, it was pretty hard to just be able to fly on your belly in this tunnel and get more then 30cm's above the floor.
It was great fun, but it sorta feels like you've been in a boxing match after your done...bruised and all..:)

The picture was taken when the prop was turned off, and I just jumped up and the picture was snapped (got lucky on the timing:)

I only have 3 sitfly jumps in 'real life'..so no way in hell I'd be able to do what the picture implies...But great fun anyways..

Anyone coming to the Xmas boogie at Texel (holland) from 26 to 31 December btw?
