Whistle Down The Wind

IAM: b4youreyes says..

I’ve had my fair share of people ask if my tunnels whistle in the wind, and after going skydiving for the first time I can assure them that even at 120mph+ they don’t make a sound! My first jump was through Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Hinckley, IL.

Down to earth shot after the break..

I’m having a few minor computer issues at the moment (don’t ask!), but it shouldn’t interfere with ModBlog being updated!

    My lobes definitely whistle in the wind – it just has to come at exactly the right angle.

    Its good he came down ok. Chicago Skydive has a really bad reputation for getting skydivers down much faster than intended if you know what i mean.

    I think it all depends on a style of tunnel that you wear. I know one set of my 10mm tunnels whistle and the others don’t. It actually kind of bothers me…
