Video: 3-Way in the Tunnel
I’m not sure of everyone’s name, but Louis French is one of them. One of the guys asked me about this clip on dropzone.com so I went through the footage and threw together a quick clip of the 3-way.
Video: Flying the new Paraclete XP wind tunnel in Raeford
Thanks to Louis French for coaching me in the wind tunnel. His coaching was a huge help and I’m a completely different skydiver because of it. Prior to the 40 minutes I spent in the wind tunnel much of this was a lot more confusing. I learned a lot.
The great thing about the time spent in the tunnel is now I know where my strengths and weaknesses are. I learned about several of my bad habits. Now I know what I need to work on and which direction to go.
Paraclete XP Wind Tunnel
This past Saturday I spent ten minutes (five two minute sessions) in the Paraclete XP SkyVenture wind tunnel in Raeford, North Carolina which recently opened. It is 16.5′ wide and 51′ tall - now the world’s largest wind tunnel. How lucky am I to have this tunnel two hours away? This weekend I’m planning on getting in for another 30 minutes.
It is mind blowing how much you can learn as a skydiver inside a wind tunnel in just a few minutes.
Here are some photographs. I’m not in these.
