100% humbling. The immediate feedback of not being stable and the vertical and horizontal impact, seeing yourself go forward/backwards and up/down, was surprising.
This is an awesome video clip! I struggled on my Cat D as an AFF student after about 8 flights, then I was introduced to the tunnel. It was so much fun and less stressful. I am going to do the same as you do and go back to the sky later on. Thanks again for sharing this progression!
Dude, this if fucking awesome! Just started to do the transition from back to belly and then reverse, before going into sitfly. Seein you evolve like this made me really excited!! Thanks for the post and keep uploading!
@@itsthefifthletter Hey bro, I'm back! just started flying headdown "alone" (9,5hrs total) and I'm still amazed how fast you progressed!! Now I finally understand what you meant by frustrating. How many hours were you training per month?
Insane!! unfortunately I cant afford more than 15min/month so it'll take years for me to get to these levels!! I really have to quit my cgi artist job and start a business lol
100%. I had 50 jumps with no tunnel time, and thought I was pretty decent at belly flying. The sky is huge with no real reference points, so you don't realize how much you might be drifting one way or the other. You realize all your weaknesses once you try the tunnel. After only 15 minutes, the next jump my buddy and I did was waaaaay better!
I would say somewhere between 10-12 hours…averaging 15 minutes each week, and taking into account there were some weeks that I couldn’t fly throughout the year.
I don’t think it has a name…it’s simply an exercise where you stand on one foot and use the other to control the direction and speed of rotation as you spin in place.

This is really satisfying to watch! Proud of you homie!

Thanks! Sometimes it can be really frustrating, but keep at it, and you will get there too.

How many hours were you training per month?
Ifly Loudoun is great! so many good instructors
Great job. I already 5 hrs but still stuck in belly to back transition. My progression so slow 🥲
Bravo!
Hell yeah keep it up! Got a job as an instructor at ifly VB last summer and flying is all I think about now

that is awesome! good stuff!
Wow 10 total hours and you're that good. I was interested in getting into this. Can you say how much lessons are?
Nice Job, Mikey is a beast. How many sessions por week or per month ?
I usually did one 15 min session each week.
Nice vid.
How many hours did it take you to sit fly? To head down?
How did these 10/12 hours of wind tunnel affect your body flight in freefall? Do you think it really improves your skills in the air?

Awesome!! How many hours did it take you to get into a stable head down position?
I would say I was flying off of the net unassisted after about an hour of flying at lower speeds basically doing a headstand on the net.
@@itsthefifthletter Awesome! And what about total tunnel hours?
@@marck5846 I would say I had around 10 hours of tunnel time by the end of this video.
@@itsthefifthletter Are you an instructor now? Or do you do actual skydiving?
A week to go from belly to back?
Yes. I had many years of experience as a skydiver jumping from airplanes prior to learning to fly in the tunnel.
How many hours would you say you put in at the tunnel during the 1 year?
I would say somewhere between 10-12 hours…averaging 15 minutes each week, and taking into account there were some weeks that I couldn’t fly throughout the year.
What's the move at 4:27 called?
I don’t think it has a name…it’s simply an exercise where you stand on one foot and use the other to control the direction and speed of rotation as you spin in place.
