+Turquoise Bunny I completely agree! It's growing fast and I think it has serious potential to make it there eventually!

Lmfaooo

@@LukeHively idc what people say this is a goddam OLYMPIC SPORT

Ikr

I completely agree--thanks for the comment :).

No.

Finaly! Theres someone out there, i am currently 16, and hope to do the same as well. Keep it real ;) and good luck on your journey towards base :)

Thanks Kart Drifter for the comment and sharing my vids :). Will do my best, keep enjoying the vids for now and you'll be well on your way soon enough!

So hows it being going?

Thanks Phil :)

yeah its a pretty expensive learning curve

Ye you can do courses tho but they are kinda expensive

@@rowanperry346 ya there really expensive at iFly like $14 bucks per minute for private coaching lessons but I would LOVE to be an iFly instructor

Correction - Its not just that they won't let you, you just wont be able too. This has a steeper learning curve than any other sport, its super technical. Go in during a coaching session where they are teaching a student a new skill and you'll see how often they cork out and can't hold a head up or head down position until they're finally signed off on that skill.

Thanks buddy!

this is a rich person sport tho. not sure if our civilian buds in somewhere like rural ethopia can go and practice doing this day by day.

Zucchini Juice Hardly a rich persons sport. Just a one time $400 some total for a basic full face helmet and wind tunnel suit if you want your own equipment.(I seen football equipment way more exspensive) At XP Paraclete near my house,$40-$100ish for 2-5min each flight, $700ish a month for 10min everyday if you want a membership plan. That's roughly about the same level of spending on brand name gym memberships and expenses(yoga,spinning,protein shakes,ect.)for each year. It may not look like it but it's as much of a workout as being in a gym. It only takes 2-5min to get tired from constantly using all your muscles for stable and controlled flight. The pros get tired at 10-15min. It's all a matter of preferences really. Now country club golf,that's a rich persons sport.

thanks buddy :)

Thanks Ray!

Thanks Josh!

badass is so yesterday ...nobody says that anymore

@ jamesd, well to Josh's credit, you made this comment 1 week ago and he said "bad ass" 6 months ago. So, according to your rules, people were still saying "bad ass" at the time.

Sweet, yeah it's great fun and definitely not easy! The people in this video have definitely spent a good bit of time flying in there. Glad you got to check it out!

Thanks Gabs, it certainly feels like it!

me too!

+Karl Johan haha, great ideas!

+Karl Johan They just build a wind tunnel near me recently. It looks amazing but it is such a rip off; spend over $100 for 4 turns of 60 seconds. 1 minute, then you have to let someone else go, and repeat. 4 minutes for over $100! That's ridiculous.

It would be really fucking loud lmao

wolf wight omg I know! I feel bad for the instructors since they cant help to make decisions regarding time! But people are paying their salary!!!! They should make their timer longer but I know many people sign up so I can see why its limited! I just wish people can rent out the fan for like 10 min after they get trained properly and do stunts on their own! But as a corporate company they are just protecting themselves from a lawsuit!!!! figures...

@@jadenkor9 At the tunnel I am at our tunnel uses 800kW of power topped out and the facility pays about $40,000 a month in the summer for just power alone. That doesn't include the money to pay staff which is actually even more, permits, royalties, etc. It cost a lot to operate a wind tunnel you have no idea.

sounds like a great idea Michael!

Redbull did something like what you're suggesting. :-)

The wind speeds vary quite a bit, there's actually a "driver", and just as you suspected, the driver sets the speed based on the needs of the person that's currently flying... Generally speaking, the air speed will be higher when we are flying vertical, but as a flyer gets better, their range is typically broadened, allowing them to fly them to fly at a bigger range of speeds...

+Robin Oja Thanks Robin :). Anyone can go fly in the tunnel, even if you're not a skydiver. Everyone's learning curve is different, so it's not easy to answer your question, but to give you a reference, most of the people in this video have years of experience. If you aren't a skydiver and wanted to start flying on your own, it's likely that you could be flying on your own (without an instructor holding onto you) in a relatively short amount of time, but it will truly depend on how fast you learn and demonstrate you can fly safely on your own. I hope this helps!

Luke Hively Thanks for the info :) Cheers.

No I’m going for my 13th bday

@@dawsoncarpenter2244 My 13th birthday is in too months. 😊 I want to go here for it.

Nah you only get in if you fail the breathalyzer

Drunk people would injure themselves.

lmao if u vomit. Would fly everywhere.

2999 hahahahaha

Frederiksted St. Croix and thats why you are not wealthy. bad business ideas mixing those two.

Mario Tamez how is it gay?

Why not both

"futuristic gay ballet" LOL!

Ya..kinda gay. They should have more chicks flying with short skirts

they all wear jumpsuits but some of them are females

Thanks, glad you like the music! I included the track titles and info in the video description. Hope this helps!

Luke Lively where did you find those tracks? I can't find them with those titles

I got them from Unippm.fr. Hope this helps but let me know if not!

I found it but it is unavailable to download, keeps coming up with an error message :(

naven82​ Aw rammit that sticks ._.

Andrew Barton thanks for the info and breakdown looks like hard work and a lot of fun I'm looking to try it in the next few months I can't wait

Ashu Jutt with a Costco card its as little as $49

I guess it would be judged the same way as gymnastic then right?

+xxxsuchfabxxx Either that or synchronized swimming

Hi Stephen, music is in the video description!

Yeah, but you won't do all that. They will probably teach you how to just free fall.

anna buivis suits

Sweet, did you get in the tunnel and fly a bit?!

Cathy Alvarez if you have a cosco card you can do it for as little as $49

No problem with you have any 8899888888

Thanks for the comment, but you are incorrect. This video was shot at iFly Dallas, by me.

Oh, maybe they look exactly the same, sorry.

No worries, they might, I've actually never been to the Austin tunnel

Can you do this in the Austin one? If so I wanna go

Belly flyers? You mean people flying on their stomach, like how you’re supposed to fly

Form fitting allows for more precision in movement.

Scott Kepple soggy biscuit promotes teamwork.

X1area51 II people who are too heavy really just can’t, usually the fan isn’t powerful enough to propel them

Kornikus well they should make another ifly XL..

@@x1area51ii7 Or people can use flight as an incentive to become fitter 🤷‍♂️
