wildfan75 1 #1 March 22, 2007 ...I am all set for my first tunnel trip! There are a bunch of us from Wissota and a bunch more from Skydive Iowa ready to invade the Denver tunnel this weekend! I am pumped! Not so much for the 13 hour car ride there, but for the equivelant of about 30 freefalls worth of time. And yes, I'm fully aware of the beer word in my post. Woo hoo!!!

Jewels 0 #4 March 22, 2007 SVCO is great. I have time at 6:30 on Friday and might drop in on Saturday morning. Maybe we'll run into each other! TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildfan75 1 #5 March 23, 2007 We made it to Denver with only one road side consultation. (a nice big FU to the Iowa State Patrol!!!). Jewel--I have a session tonight too. Todd's first session is at 4:30pm and we'll be at the tunnel until like midnight. Definitely look for me. I'll be the one that everyone that works for the tunnel complains about all the energy they are using by having to crank the fans up to ultra high so I can off the net (my fall rate suuuucks!). And it's friggin' warm here!!! Went out for a smoke in shorts, a t-shirt and bare feet and wasn't cold. Woo Hoo!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildfan75 1 #8 March 25, 2007 Chocolate chip cookies and turkey and roast beef sandwiches. Didn't get to do much else. Pretty much spent the weekend at the tunnel. I learned a ton but I was pissed that a lot of people told me that 20 minutes for my first time in the tunnel is plenty, and that I'll just be too sore to do anymore than that. I could have easily done 45-60 minutes, and totally wish I would have. I felt like I was just starting to make good progress and then, bam, all done. Biggest thing I probably need to work on is flying with my legs closer together. Sometimes flexibility is a bitch. Hopefully this same group will do this again next year! (Thanks again Nick and Sandy!!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
