I think the speed Ari's shirt 'transitions' from sit, hd, sit, hd, sit, hd is what makes it hilarious. I just showed our dvd to a couple SVO instructors and they both busted out laughing. i look over and Ari's shirt is doing it's dance up and down his torso. Thanks for the great memories La. U were rocking in there. Your flying is looking good, lots of cool new tricks, and we did pull off some rad 4 way hd carving. Wheel of death! Wheel of death! Whoooooo Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

With more and more FFer spending lots of time in tunnels, they are using full faces more often now in there, and in the air too. Esp. in the winter time if you are flying any significant amount of time. They are wonderful to take the edge off the chill. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I'll see if I can find time to try and put together a nice little video of some of our footage. I'm sorta swamped and keep putting off using the super nice MAC software I have for video editing. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and post it to skydivingmovies.com. I'll be sure to drop ya a line when I get to it. Ari's the superstar, I didn't need 170mph of air for hd but I know part of that has to do w. me being a scardy cat He was amazing in there, didn't skip a beat just hopped in and flew like a bird.

Quite possibly. I've only done a couple of head-up jumps with my Z1 and it hasn't opened, but that's not exactly a statistically significant sample. I've never had mine pop open in the tunnel and my bf has only had very few issues w. it opening, most on RW training jumps. He freeflew in it a ton and to my knowledge loved it w.o issues of opening frequently during freeflying. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Orlando is a sucker Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

This weekend I get sucked w. a mother and daughter, a friend from out of town and my bf (at the same time)

Shhhhhhh...did you hear that?!?!?! if you build it they will come Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

It can range from $10 -$12 a minute, that's half the price. You def. get a lot of bang for your buck. Let me know how it goes, you'll love the tunnel. Def. check it out! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Whooooo! That's awesome. You should be very proud. I'm sure any nursing school will be tickled pink to get you. Congrats

The massages are a fantastic idea at a boogie. We had Rita giving rubs at Tunnel For The Cause and she was kind enough to donate half the profits. It raised us a good amount of money we might have missed out on. If anyone else in your group has a talent like massage, get them to the dz also and see if you can stir up some need for their services. I have a friend who does those cartoon drawings of people (I can't spell characture, or whatever ) and she is going to lend her services this year at TFTC. Something like that might be fun so people can get pics w. their gear, colors, etc. RAFFLE!!!!! Always easy to get gift certs. from restaurants, putt-putt, movie theaters, movie rental places, etc. I wouldn't rule out car washes, in college we made almost $700 from 10am -3pm. I think it's really awesome what your group is going to do. I'm doing Tunnel 4 Paws which will be raising thousands for a new not for profit Spay The Strays. Anita runs the business on her own personal $. She was kind enough to come take care of the tunnel kitties so we wanted to do some fun flying, cat addoptions, and fundraising for her. It should be a great time. If you are out in the Orlando area June 23rd and 24th, come check it out, even better...come fly! Paige@TunnelPinkMafia.com me if I can be of any help. With group members $7000 shouldn't be so terrible. GOOD LUCK and let me know how it goes. I'll be cheering for you. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Closer to the west coast than FL Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

She looks like she's got great bodyposition for belly flying already. Just flip her belly to earth and she'd be ready to go. Of course, she could also be telling you she's preparing to back fly and come to the dark side

'Anything for $ parties' were always fun. It was cool to see the frat boys faces on the different denomination fake bills. I think they just took Monopoly money and pasted head shots on them and hit up Kinkos. There was always rumor that the girl w. the most money would win a bottle of liquor but it never seemed to happen - the freshman girls really got angry when they found out they had been had. Maybe the person w. the most $ could win a jump or something. The parties were always pretty crazy and fun. Not sure if it goes w. the vibe or people at the dz since I've yet to visit you guys. I only hear good things but not sure if this was what you were looking for. I've been out to the west coast 5 times in the last year but never made it past Vegas. Good luck w. the party, I'm sure it will be a blast regardless of theme. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I could teach you how to make beautiful sparkling jewelz, even a snazzy closing pin necklace. Every girl needs a little sparkle! I might be able to help ya out in the tunnel too. Not that you need it, but it's something I've been known to get into from time to time. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I've been climbing 3-4 days a week and doing power yoga in a heated room 2 days a week. I usually get some tunnel flying in there also. I'm really digging the climbing. Ari is an amazing climber so I love going w. him and learning a ton. Before I busted my hip I used to rollerblade all the time and loved it. I'm a little wobbly on them now but oh well, you make due. Also boxing is a great work out. Since moving to Orlando, I have to find a new gym. It works your whole body and you get to take your frustration out on a bag or hand pads. I have weighted gloves that really work the arms. Cardio boxing classes will kick your butt and get ya in shape quick. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

To you SVCO is a better "summer" tunnel and it's great that we have a forum where everyone can express their opinions

The walgreens employee who was talking shit about me (obv. didn't know I was still in the store) because they have not completed my one hour photo order in +5 hours. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Tunnels used for skydiving training and bodyflight are VERTICAL wind tunnels not horizontal. When you strap on a wingsuit you loose vertical and gain horizontal making the suit not that condusive for WVT. Here is a picture of Joao in a wingsuit in Orlando. Scroll down a bit to see his pic and you'll notice someone is holding his feet from the door. Don't waste your time w. a wingsuit. Learn how to fly your body first. At 35 jumps and no tunnel, you have a lot of learning to do before adding suits and toys. No beer for first tunnel offenses. That's not to say people at the tunnel would not drink and appreciate the sentiment. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I would love to see that! How freaking cool. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

Not that kind of pole but in both instances we climb the pole to get paid. Mine was just brass Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I hope everyone has an amazing time. I miss the SGC boogies and everyone back home. Wish you all blue skies and safe skydives. Be sure to share those crazy pics! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

She does. She's a sexy one all round Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

I'm w. ya there Skymama. If one of those events had a tunnel, I'd be there in a heart beat to fly my little butt off

Find a tunnel rat to jump w. Hope you have had much success w. your freefly jumps. Stay safe, stick w. it, share pics
