Challenging yourself is about abilities and limits - performance if you will. Drugs are about weakness and stupidity. So if this is about pushing stupidity, go ahead - I'm out. (an addict's "alternate reality experiences" is not evolution or insight, it's escape as a function of destroying your body) If it's about being the best athelete or the best thinker or best performer you can be, then yes, all the time.

Hi Michelle - You'll love it. Fullface - I prefer a fullface as the visibility is nice and it keeps the noise and bits out. It also keeps your sinuses from drying out if you are prone to it. At night, the bugs will be attracted to the light and get sucked up (you might have to do laundry after ). if you have a fullface bring it, if not, a hardshell freefly helmut is fine. I've worn both my fullface and my bonehead - both are fine. I prefer the fullface. Gloves - Helps to keep your hands from drying out. Not necessary, but nice. I don't wear any. Clothes - Bring several light layers. I always have shorts and t-shirt. But also have thermals - tops and bottoms. If you chill easily, one more layer just in case. Problem is, you won't have a chance to change and 10 minutes will go by in a single 1 hour session where you share with others. So what you wear in, you'll have to live with the entire hour (you'll be sharing your 10 minutes as part of a total hour with other likely). Pads - If you're not certain of your hovering skills, wear them. Sounds like this is the case. The tunnel should have them. Earplugs - Must have these and keep them in. High decibels. Jewelry - There is no business having this in the tunnel. Instructors - Do what they say. Try it. If you don't think you can - do it anyway. You are there to learn something. It is absolutely no time to be timid. You are safe and they won't ask you to do anything you are ready for. They will know more about your skills than you do after just a little observation. Once you have basics down and return later (you will) I hope they push you until you do funnel out. It's like skiing - if you don't fall occasionally you aren't trying hard enough. For your first session, don't expect to be pushed to instability. Rather drills and body position. stretch, stretch stretch if you aren't in good shape - some people can do hours and hours in a few days, some get worn out in a couple short sessions. It hinges on your condition. Good stretching is the best defense. Heck if you are in decent shape - stretch anyway. have a great time ...

This is what I'm saying. But this isn't what the real extremists (both right and left) are saying. The extreme right is fuzzy on sanctimony of the blah blah blah.... The extreme left is looking for validation of blah blah blah. problem with any social law change is it costs us all more in the end because we never cut back when it's a mistake, only add on when it's implemented.....
