News and views on the world of indoor skydiving
A couple of years ago I was a fun, but very rounded character, with a long hair beard, who wore joggers held up with a large belt, and a bandanna. I tipped the scales at 24 stone 3lbs and had a 44 inch waist. Indoor skydiving helped transform my life.
18 years ago, the first SkyVenture Vertical Wind Tunnel was born in Orlando, FL. In April 2017, a new iFLY wind tunnel, or should we say two new tunnels, open on International Drive, Florida. "The Twins" as they are affectionately known, mark the end of one era and the dawn of another.
All three iFLY wind tunnels in the UK are basking in the lovely warm feeling that comes with having just hosted their first ever ‘All Abilities’ event, a concept that was born and raised at iFLY Portland in Oregon just over a year ago. The first event took place on March 2, 2016. Since then the format has spread to all tunnels in the United States and now to iFLY Basingstoke, Milton Keynes and Manchester.
