Pining for that skydiving fix? Looking for a way to brush up on your freefall skills? Or just want a break from the cold? Join us at the largest, most powerful wind tunnel in the world, Paraclete XP in Raeford, NC (www.paracletexp.com). SDC Rhythm XP (www.rhythmskydiving.com) is planning two tunnel camps this winter at the Paraclete XP Tunnel. RW/belly coaching from Rhythm is included in the camp rates. We have a RW skills curriculum that covers a range of skills, and can tailor our coaching to whatever you'd like to work on most. For experienced tunnel flyers or teams, we're also running a 4 way curriculum, which would either be 2on2 or 1on3 - please ask for more details. If you want to just join the group, and freefly, or get other coaching, we can arrange that as well.
