Sky Venture Montreal

Date : July 23

Location : Montreal


Activity : Indoor Sky Diving
Not really knowing what to expect Kristy and I jumped in the car and drove to Montreal in the early AM. After our arrival being greeted my Myron and Jennifer, we registering at the front desk we made our way upstairs.





Our agenda for the day was kinda simple because we were first time "flyers". We had an introductory course with an instructor to go over the basic body position and hand signals used inside the tunnel. Sounds simple enough !!



After watching some others in our group in tunnel it was our turn. Kristy caught on after her second session and was getting better at stabilizing, and I happened to catch on pretty quick. In my second session I was moving up/down, side to side, back/forth, and even doing some spins while going up and down.

It was a great feeling and the closet thing you can get to skydiving-free fall, without jumping out of a plane. I hopefully planning on a second trip.

Enjoy the photos!

Jennifer and her entry into the tunnel. It was really smooth and hopefully I can get mine to look that natural!
