  1. This is a new place to post/chat specifically designed for tunnel flyers. You will find all things tunnel here. I am addicted already: http://www.tunnelflyer.com -Enjoy and visit often jenn Tunnel Junkie Since November 2005! ;o)~ TPM #46 Paraclete XP TPM Delegate
  2. It is slightly different too because you don't have a rig on. But, the tunnel is an great way to learn new skills efficiently and safely. jenn Tunnel Junkie Since November 2005! ;o)~ TPM #46 Paraclete XP TPM Delegate
  3. Hey Paige, I didn't participate, but I would love to see the video at some point. It looked like a blast from the few pictures that I have seen. I am not sure when I will be down to Orlando again, but I plan to be at TFTC 2006 and would love to see what I am in for. If you come fly or jump in the mid Atlantic, stop by with the video. P.S. Free Tunnel Time is always a plus, so congrats and have a great time to those that were participants. Thanks for flying for the great cause!!! jenn Tunnel Junkie Since November 2005! ;o)~ TPM #46 Paraclete XP TPM Delegate
  4. I know that when I go to the tunnel, I save money all year long and then buy 1.5 to 2 hours once a year. Also, some people are able to amass some tunnel time because they are coaching. They don't have to pay for the time they spend in the tunnel coaching someone because the time is being paid for by the person they are coaching. But, in the end, it all depends where you priorities are. If tunnel time is a serious priority, then it is easier to spend lots of money there. Once you have been in there, it will be easy to see how one can become addicted. jenn Tunnel Junkie Since November 2005! ;o)~ TPM #46 Paraclete XP TPM Delegate
  5. You will have fun in the tunnel, especially as you are clutching Barbie and Paige is smiling at you and you look super cool!!! But seriously, the tunnel is a great place to efficiently and safely learn and practice new skills. jenn Tunnel Junkie Since November 2005! ;o)~ TPM #46 Paraclete XP TPM Delegate

  7. I just got back from SVO. I met Paige on Sunday when she invited me to be inducted into Tunnel Pink Mafia Sisters. After some sessions of belly flying, I had been working on freeflying (mostly just fumbling around) in the tunnel and was having a really hard time with it and getting very frustrated. I was also having a hard time finding coaching that I could afford. I called Paige on short notice and she agreed to come and coach me for my two evening sessions. We set up an agenda before each of the sessions and went in the tunnel and had fun. She got me through some serious road blocks that I hadn't been able to conquer. She is tons of fun to fly with and very patient. She would fly over, fix my body position and then smile as I realized the correct position flew much better than the position that I had been in. She is very humble about her flying abilities even though she is a bad ass freeflier and one of the best coaches that I have ever had. In addition, she is a sweetie. She drove over an hour and a half to come coach me even though she had only met me once and I crashed into her and Carrie during my TPMS induction. Thanks Paige, if you read this thread. Hopefully I can get back to the tunnel again soon and we can fly together (trying to get back down near New Years). I've been stung by the tunnel bug!!!!

  8. This is my first post, so please be nice. I have mostly been belly flying in the tunnel and that doesn't make me too sore. I can do about an hour or more in a day with no problems and no sloppiness. However, when I started sit flying in the tunnel yesterday, one session made my shoulders and chest muslces BURN! With some advil and serious motivation I made it through all of my sessions sit flying. But, by the last one, my arms were so tired that I was really sloppy and spent a lot of time getting off my back and back into the sit only to go to my back again because my muscles weren't strong enough to hold me in a sit. Does anyone have advice with regards to sit flying for multiple sessions in a day. I live pretty far from a tunnel, so I try to get the most bang for my buck with my vacations to the tunnel and my cash. I am still not good enough to go in and work on sit flying without a coach. Thanks in advance!!! jenn Tunnel Junkie Since November 2005! ;o)~ TPM #46 Paraclete XP TPM Delegate
