I think that the aerokart tunnel is underpowered or about the same, I tested my new jumpsuit Parasport jumpsuit and I was on level with everyone. When I went to test it in the sky I had to add a whole lot of lead. My Original jumpsuit was performed exactley the same in the tunnel and sky. I do agree with what you say about the roll of to the sides, but that can be managed easily if you know about it. I think there manifest is great, they turn it on and you just rotate in turns in the tunnel, just the same as Skyventure in Perris. If you are nervous going into the tunnel the first time you can end up being a bit of a board and not relaxing into your arch and then requiring lead cheers Gavin

I dont know why I bother to do this but here is the lookup of hearsay and spefically for you incase you cannot find the meanings its in bold: hearsay n. 1) second-hand evidence in which the witness is not telling what he/she knows personally, but what others have said to him/her. 2) a common objection made by the opposing lawyer to testimony when it appears the witness has violated the hearsay rule. 3) scuttlebutt or gossip. Noun: speculation `spekyu'leyshun A message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence - guess, conjecture, supposition, surmise, surmisal, hypothesis Anybody can type anything and stick it on this forum. As I said in my last email and I say it again: This information needs to come from www.skyventure.co.uk for it to be real. Until then it is HEARSAY

What you say is purely second hand hearsay and speculation, Mr Simon Ward should adjust his site in line with what you say if this is true. Bodyflight has it in black & white, until then Skyventure UK is priced at what the site reflects. I think Skyventure UK are watching the market from behind and observing the steps of innovators and leaders such as Bodyflight. Go Bodyflight !! Take the market !!

Rimster, it clearly states on the site: Each flight is one minute in length. And to make it easier for you here is the link: http://www.skyventure.co.uk/skyventure.html?/gift_certificate.html I quote directly from the site: It will give you a full one hour experience and an absolute minimum of two flights in that hour That equates to 2 flights in one hour one minute each. Its not hard to do the maths here. OH - I almost forgot to add, you get a free hat or T-shirt. The standard block time in a tunnel is 2min 30sec

Skyventure Perris was $130 for 10min when I was there, they dropped it to $110 and even lower for group bookings.

At £50 for 2 min you have to be kidding!!! I will rather carry on going to aerokart or Perris in the USA where you have insturctors that have in excess of 10k jumps or alternatively locally bodyflight. Aerokart costs €50 for 2.30sec. How stupid can you be to price yourself right out of the market before you even open? Skyventure Perris is £67 for 10 min

supposed to be sarcasm - something british are supposed to be very good at - are you british?
-
your right it wasnt that bad - it was total HORSE POES thanks for siding with me
-
it totally blows me away - people are making money from this bullshit. how do they dream this up? even with imagination in place and a normal concience I could not do this!!
-
how can they put cr9p like that on TV? does this mean if its not an advert(no money involved) and you have enough time you can feature any sh|t like that?

Sorry but they kept stating the fact that she simply walked away from 120MPH, they kept putting it into some kind of miracle category. There was nothing wanderous about this, except that she was lucky that she lived after most likely not doing what she was told Go take up golf Lyndi!
-
Once again I say: Complete "HORSE POES" and her her doing 120Mph and walking away, as they say in South Africa! The brits media obviously don’t get it and never will with scientific investigation! 1) You will ONLY be doing 120mph if NOTHING is attached to you. ie no parachute / reserve is out of the bag AT ALL. 2) Where do these w9nkers get off giving this false info about her walking away from a supposedly 120mph impact without looking at this from a skydivers perspective? 3) Does the media once again ASSUME that two malfunctioning parachutes = 0 drag. WRONG AGAIN MEDIA MAN !!!! 4) Do they know that Luigi Cani landed a parachute with only 39 square feet of material, also walked away miraculously unscathed? This size of canopy is smaller than 90% of most kites 5) The slowest terminal velocity is 120mph, no one can survive this on a impact with "semi - normal" ground - FACT. At these speeds skydivers that impact, bodies split open and pieces go flying every where! hardly anything is recognizable afterwards ! I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE MEDIA GETTING IT WRONG! THESE MEDIA PEOPLE MUST LOOK LIKE SUCH IDIOTS DO THEY HAVE NO SHAME!! blueskies Gavin

Hi there Docsa I have been to aerokart a number of times, the first time I went, I thought of just trying it on for the novelty, but boy was I shocked!! What a professional setup, after doing my training I found that my instructor had 10k jumps, could not find a place to bury my head. Are you planning a trip there? I plan to go soonish with a friend of mine maybe we could all hook up? looking forward to hearing from you cheers Gavin
