First-Time Flyers - Welcome to Indoor Skydiving

Indoor Skydiving For The First Time

Indoor Skydiving

Indoor skydiving. The word ‘skydiving’ is a little curious as it generates an emotional response from nearly everyone! The fact is indoor skydiving feels just like jumping out of a perfectly good plane, but without the jumping or the parachutes! Without a plane and all that nylon, indoor skydiving opens up a whole new world to people wishing to experience the sensation of flight without having to take a massive step from 13,500 feet!

First-Time Flyers

First-timers need not be intimidated. As the many pictures show, kids from age three and up catch on to the sensation of flight very quickly. It’s natural to feel a little nervous because this experience is totally different than anything you’ve ever done before. Fighting the laws of gravity will feel foreign at first, but we will prepare you properly!

Preparing For Flight

To get the most out of your experience, it’s important to arrive at our facility at least 45 minutes prior to your flight time. It’s imperative that you don’t feel rushed as that leads to stress. The key to your success in the wind tunnel is to… relax. The best way to feel relaxed is to be prepared!

Upon arriving and checking in, we’ll whisk you to the classroom and teach you the fundamentals of how to fly your body in the tunnel. It’s all about the arch position (think the shape of a banana). We’ll teach you how to use your arms and legs as rudders which will allow you to manipulate the wind on your body and fly with control! We will also teach basic hand signals which your instructor will give to you once flying, for feedback on your body position.

The Greatest Workout

What many people don’t factor into this experience is the awesome workout! Learning to center your body on the wind is an awesome workout for the core as well as resistance training on your muscles. If you want to get a little workout while having the time of your life… you’re going to love this!

You’ll notice, many of our time slots are in increments of minutes. You’ll quickly learn that it takes time to strengthen your flying muscles to fly for longer periods of time.

I surprised my kids today with a flight. At first they were worried but after they went through the instruction and their 1st flight they had a great time. They smiled for hours after we left. Instructors were very knowledgeable and friendly. This was well worth the drive and cost involved. We will be back. Thank you for being a great place to take kids. Keep up the good work.
