Trust us &#8212; we get it. <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/how-scary-is-skydiving-really\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fear of skydiving<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the realest realities that potential jumpers face when they\u2019re making their first tentative inquiries into the sport. If that\u2019s you, we\u2019d like to share one heck of a hack: the vertical \u201cindoor skydiving\u201d wind tunnel. This may come as a surprise to you, but the wind tunnel might be just the thing you need to inspire you to get those knees in the wide-open breeze.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tunnel Will Teach You What To Expect In Freefall.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fear of skydiving and fear of the unknown are, as it turns out, exactly the same thing. Luckily, fear of the unknown dissolves once something is known, and the same thing is true of skydiving. Spending a little time in the tunnel will help your body and mind attenuate to the ever-so-novel noises and sensations of skydiving, so once you get out there it\u2019ll be that much easier to cut loose and just enjoy yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Indoor Skydiving with Skydive Perris, A Must-Do on Your Bucket List - Perris, Ca\" width=\"565\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QY7mCq5xbcM?feature=oembed&#038;rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><br><\/em>The Tunnel Will Teach You A Little About The Patience Required To Skydive Well.<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially if you\u2019re coming to the tunnel as a preamble to a sport skydiving career (and we do recommend tunnel time to anyone approaching their AFF program!), this benefit of tunnel flying can\u2019t be overemphasized. It&#8217;s easy to watch YouTube videos and think skydiving looks easy, but a little time in the windytube will show you the kind of patience and mental fortitude skydiving exacts of its practitioners.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tunnel Will Introduce You To Your New Best Friends.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t spent much time on the dropzone yet, you\u2019re in for a treat. Here at Perris, our skydiving community moves freely between the tunnel and the DZ, so you\u2019ll be getting a firsthand introduction to the big, beautiful, unique community that has found a home in airsports. If you come to spend time at the tunnel, there\u2019s no way you won\u2019t pick up enough of the procedures, equipment knowledge, lingo and etiquette to make a fine showing on your first day tasting freefall in the sky&#8230;and you\u2019ll already have some friends to guide your way!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-1760x880.jpg 1760w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-1600x800.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-1440x720.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-1280x640.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-1120x560.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-960x480.jpg 960w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-640x320.jpg 640w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-480x240.jpg 480w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-320x160.jpg 320w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-160x80.jpg 160w, https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/indoor-tunnel-super-hero-perris-80x40.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tunnel Is Knock-down, Drag-out Fun.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flying in the <a href=\"https:\/\/skydiveperris.com\/indoor-skydiving\/\">\u201cindoor skydiving\u201d wind tunnel<\/a> has come into its own as a sport, discipline and training ground of note. Once you\u2019ve tried it, you\u2019ll have no choice but to fall head-over-heels in love with this magical cross-pollination of skydiving, gymnastics, dance, martial arts and swimming. While many of these skills and body positions carry directly over into skydiving, the thing most people love about flying in the tunnel is the pure enjoyment the tunnel presents. We seriously doubt you\u2019ll come away with a different opinion. We know you\u2019ll come away with a smile &#8212; and you\u2019ll come back again and again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How about it?
