  1. Well I'm not going to complain, it's 20 seconds more than we had! Damn skippy, that's awesome Betsy
  2. Yes! Keith is awesome, I'm not sure I met Kevin though. Also Slade, Seth, and Mike rock the house too. They were all so much fun to fly with and have in the tunnel. All the employees we worked with were awesome flyers and had really great tips. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
  3. There are also some on the SkyVenture Orlando site. I like that thread with the kids pics, I hope people keep adding their little ones pics when they fly! Kids rule in there, its so much fun to see the HUGE

    If you have money for the coached 1-2 hours, do it! I think you will be surprised at the progress you make. That being said, I try to have my students look at the progress they make during multi flight sessions. There is no need to put things on a time line, you will be improving many aspects of your flying to get to a sit. Belly, back, then sit on the net, then flying the sit. What do you have to loose aside from money? I say go for it and push yourself to improve but don't set a pace to live up to. You can train hard and have fun, the rest will come. Think about how much your flying will improve with 1-2 hours of flight time
  5. Doesn't matter what time of year you are there. Fly the first slots of the day you will be happy you did. The tunnel can get hot, very hot during the day. Bring plenty to drink after. I thought I was going to pass out, we were the last flight of the day but it was the first day we were there. It was more for novelty that we flew that night. FA LV made 2 states, 2 tunnels, 2 days but we didn't stop there, it was a fun trip. I love FA LV, I had a fabulous time! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
  6. Whoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Can't wait to see you
  7. I always find the people at tunnels to be helpful. Give them a call to hear it from the horses mouth, never hurts. Bowen- Good insight as to what instructors do or may have to, to keep all of us safe. You guys are crazy Thank you Bowen & everyone at SVO for keeping me whole!
  8. WOW! I have goosebumps...that's awesome. That's fantastic news

  10. I am very thankful to have great memories of these two RWS clowns
  11. The tunnel isn't trying to be like skydiving. Its a skydivers driving range or batting cage instead of the golf course or baseball stadium. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
  12. I was under the same impressions around the same time frame. Egon told me he had been planning to sail around the world t for years I am however, thankful for all of the time I had with both of them. They were truely an inspiration on how to live life, love others, and be happy. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com

  15. Thanks that is a great pic. I'm sure they would love to use it on the site. Please keep posting pics, it's so nice to see them so happy
  16. Rosi Sigmon asked me to have people email her pics. of Egon and Piers. I know they would appreciate it. Thank you. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
  17. I'm sure we would all appreciate this. Thanks Mike. What a sad sad day Everyone will be missed and DeLand will need lots of love and hugs once again. We were all very fortunate to have known them in the ways that we did and for as long as we did. Hold on to the good times. Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
  18. Happy B-Day Mel!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with lots of love, fun, friends, and family
  19. Guilty of inbreeding I love the one I got though, its fantastic Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
  20. I've emailed them recently to let them know of the Tunnel Pink Mafia. Their response was letting me know I would be on the list of people to contact as they get closer to opening. Hopefully, I'll hear from them soon and if it is appropriate I will let you know what I can (not that I'd have some super secret info or anything like that but it's not my info to be spreading on the forums).

  21. Relax, have fun, be ready to learn new things, and it will only help. Have a very open mind and go in with the attitude that if you have fun it was a successful trip, anything past that is icing on the cake
  22. Significantly is a tricky word because everyone's perception of 'significant' differs. As you said, progressions are very much a case by case basis. With the right coach/instructor, tunnel time will definately help you out in freefall. I'm sure your AFF instructors would be happy to hear that you have flown before skydiving. Talk instructors and coaches at the dz you plan to jump at. They can get you familar with the manauvers you will need to be proficient at in the sky in order to pass levels. Work on those in the tunnel and it will help, just being in the air stream will also get you comfortable in a different environment. Spend what you can afford to on tunnel time, I'd say give it a whirl you don't have much to loose. If you like it and want to fly more, you can go from there. Talk with coaches, tunnel instructors, then go fly!!!!

  24. Whooooooo!!!!! I had lunch with Mike last week and I can say he is a great person and I am so excited to see him and Cara honored with this!!!! Mike is just a fantastic person, skydiver, and obv. animal lover (he's got a horse farm too!!!). CONGRATS MIKE AND CARA!!!!!!!!!!!! Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com
  25. You can be like Freddy Kruger!!!! with this group though it might be one of those short busses... Well I did move from SGC Casa 32 to Skydive DeLand's SkyVan 22. You could say I have been riding the short bus for a while (Too bad I never got the chance to jump the Van in DeLand damn thing was broken when I wasn't, then I was broken when it wasn't ). Stupid Porter, I hate Porters for no other reason than I had my accident out of one.
