According to what instument of measure? I am sure Perris is able and regularly provides airspeeds higher than 125mph. No clue, as I said before it was from the mouth of 2 instructors there and I'd assume they know what they are talking about. Maybe not. What airspeeds are the capable of or give? I'd like to know before I go fly there. Everyone from Orlando that flies there says its SUPER SLOW. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I've always gotten good advice from my Dad. This one applies to so many things in life. "Inch by inch, anything's a sinch." Good luck! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

This seems strange since the Perris tunnel is much slower than SVO (we had the upgrades a few years ago). Perris tops out at 125mph (according to 2 instructors I met in Vegas) and SVO tops out at 136mph. AZ is just a monster and super fast so that makes sense it would be easier to fly. Interesting observation girl, great food for thought. Thanks for the post. Glad to see you are making your rounds to the tunnels. I leave for Eloy Wed. next week to fly a few hours, I can't wait! In my post 'Tops out' isn't the fastest the fans can go just what they normally give people for freeflying. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Tunnel 4 Paws Presented by the Tunnel Pink Mafia & SkyVenture Orlando A tunnel flying event raising money for Anita Sanders new not for profit organization dedicated to eliminating the feral cat population of Orlando Florida, Spay The Strays, Inc. Anita was kind enough to round up the tunnel cats, spay or neuter them, and return them to the tunnel. We LOVE our tunnel kitties and are hoping to spread a positive light on Anita’s amazing organization w. the success of this event. All skill levels are welcome (we need awesome belly flyers too for super fun hybrids, come join the fun everyone)!!!! My goal for the event is for everyone to learn new skills, have a great time, and do something you’ve never done in the tunnel before (safely of course). We have so many amazing flyers in the area and we can all learn and support one another (even better, charities too!) through events like this. Aside from sharing our knowledge, experiences, vibes, and smiles, we are helping an incredible organization and everyone can feel great about that! Join us for discounted tunnel time, coaching, and a day of cat adoptions! .::June 23rd 2006 - Coaching for Donations::. 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm (4 slots available, 15 minutes each) 11:00 pm – 12:00 am (4 slots available, 15 minutes each) A few of the best SkyVenture Orlando staff, Bowen, Chris, Dan(ager), Ed, and Randy, are donating coaching for ONLY $20 per 15 minute session! This $20 for coaching is also a donation to Spay The Strays and a tax write off. Cost of a 15 minute session will be $10.84 a minute (x15= $162.60) + $20 for coaching. Grand total for 15 minutes of time and coaching= $182.60. Current rate for tunnel time is $200 for a 15-minute block and $50-75 for coaching: grand total $250-275.

As the event draws closer or we’ve filled all the slots, I will let participants know the final costs (via email or phone, just specify a contact method and I’ll get back w. ya).

Doh! I forgot to attach this. On the bruised knee front: this picture is why I will never laugh at another soul who wears knee pads Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Have fun at the Sugar Mafia Festival Katie, that will be one not to miss! I inducted Mel to the TPM this weekend and she is TOTALLY stoaked for the Sugar boogie and to meet all kinds of new people. Well, they are tunnel boogies/events/fundraisers but they keep me awfully busy

Thanks girl! Miss ya bunches and I hope you are doing well. Jump lots for me up there! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Some of it ? All of it girl

On behalf of all the staff at Bodyflight - and the whole of the UK - I will appologise greatly for subjecting you to meeting Nigel So sorry Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! U 2 are too much. Nigel was a great house guest, amazing flyer, clean, polite, and friendly. Everyone at Bodyflight Bedford should thank Nigel [;P] Because he was so cool, I'll put up any employee in my spare bedroom (and there is a bathroom for you, couch if need be also) 5 minutes from the Orlando tunnel and 2 minutes from Universal. It's not much, but it will def. allow for more $ to be spent on tunnel time. I'm also only 20 minutes from the airport so if anyone needs transportation, I can always do my best. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Give them a ring, like Betsy said, who knows better than people that do it or are around it all day and night (well u know what I mean, a lot ). They will answer your questions and help ya out, you're not the only one w. those questions so fire away. I've found SV staff to be most helpful at all the tunnels. Own your time, have a blast, get a coach, improve your skills, take pics to share w. us

Thanks guys! I've been super busy flying and have neglected the computer a little, okay, a lot this weekend. I flew just over 100 minutes on the 28th then went back for 15 more on the 29th. Needless to say I'm trashed today and could use some rest (body that is not intoxicated, it's only 9am). It was so great to meet and fly w. you Nigel! I had a blast, thanks for the great memories! Jenn- Thanks for the warm wishes babe, u rock! Miss ya and can't wait till August

Is this the one that will be larger than Bedford or is that one really military? That thing looks huge but they say only 3-5 simultaneous flyers, can that be right? Seems like we could squeeze way more in there than that THANK YOU for the post, those pics are great! Ahhhh, just read the rest of the thread you started. 12 or so feet and 111mph That's slow even for tiny people like me! Who cares, it's another tunnel to put on the list of must visit. If you get there before I do, take pics and share

How do you think the freefly routines are practiced? They don't just pull those out of their butts the day of the competition. Now granted, there are those teams capable of that but I bet they prepare in much the same way, repeating their routine maybe hundreds of times. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

You will have the time of your life at Flyaway Las Vegas. I've never met a staff like theirs that takes such a personal interest in making a good time for you. They are the kings and queens of playing w. and playing host to tunnel rats or first time flyers. They love getting skydivers in there. Scrap the drive to Perris and stay in Vegas, I promise you will NOT be disappointed. PM me if you have ?'s, need contact info, etc. I've got about 5 hours in there and will be traveling back again in a few weeks. I'm so excited, it is one of my favorite tunnels to fly and they are my favorite staff (aside from my home tunnel boyz who rock the house!). Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Come to Orlando! We always have a great time. The staff is wonderful and the air is fast. Tunnel Pink Mafia fun can be had for the lovely lady in the avitar

It's a curse to the relationship I swear . Literally, 100% of people i know that did that are not w. the person anymore (I'm sure there are also plenty out there that are happy and love their s/o tattoo but man that takes balls to go through and do). A stupid ex of mine in h.s. put my nickname on his leg. Now it's a big dragon and after the tattoo the relationship went down hill. Same year a woman who was a tattoo artist had the same thing happen. It's just no good. Curse I tell ya, curse A plague on all your houses! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Fuji Fine Pix was my X-mas gift from Ari. Takes great pics, 5.1 megapixels I think. He's got it at the moment. Has a high speed setting, zoom and digital zoom, and is super slick looking. Does video and has a timer too. I was taking pictures at a hockey game and every photo I took was a frozen snap shot in time, no blur at all! I think this is a link to mine http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital/lineup/z2/index.html It's either the Z1 or Z2, it also comes in black which is nice because it doesn't dirty as easy as the silver. Hope this helps. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I took Claritin for a very long time before it stopped working for me (just because I took it so long). Now I use Allegra, seems to do the trick nicely. I have pretty bad allergies, I go for 3 shots twice a week as of now. I hope you get yours under control, I know how bad it can stink. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Rebecca was bustin out turns and rocking it out in there. She really looked like she was enjoying herself. Glad she got in some Barbie fun too. Inductions are my favorite tunnel activity, thanks for rallying the female troops and for one hell of a good time

Sorry I didn't make that clear. I'll be moving to Orlando Friday but will be up in NH for the TPM party in August. We'd love to get you 2 in on the action either place! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Thanks Drew Ari is taking a break from coaching but he usually comes and flys when I coach. I would love to fly w. you and T sometime. If you are planning on visiting SVNH, try and come to the TPM party in August. It's sure to be a blast w. lots of fun flying and new friends! I'll be living 5 minutes from the tunnel in 3 days

They sell them at Skydive DeLand's gear shop. Call Jump Shack for more info. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Weakness= ice cream. I gave it up for Lent even though I am not really religious. I think I like to know I can go without something for part of the year. This weekend I'll be in my new apt. in Orlando and stuffing my face w. ice cream!!!! Those tiny candy bars are the devil. You eat half the damn bag before you realize you began eating Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

That would make it the largest in the world. Holy crap I'd love to fly that thing. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
