Sydney Kennett is one of the world's best indoor skydivers. The 14-year-old champion moves with the grace of a ballerina inside wind tunnels that propel air in excess of 100 miles per hour. Sydney holds numerous top prizes at competitions around the world, and she's even a Guinness World Record holder.

She's going places, while not going anywhere.

She's probably an Airbender

Imagine wearing a VR headset at the same time and free form flying thru any number of surreal worlds.

What they didnt show here is just how insanely loud the tunnels are, especially when you’re inside them, it’s deafening!

The problem with getting it in the olympics is the cost of entry and the fact it only exists in rich western countries at the moment.

It takes a lot to be an indoor skydiver, YEAH A LOT OF FK MONEY.

Her parents must have money for this to be their daughter's hobby.

This would be a cool competitive sport, but those infrastructure costs......

I wonder how often people lose control and slam into the glass.

I feel two ways about this. Way 1: Well your parents are super-rich. Way 2: I genuinely wish I was wealthy enough to afford things like this for my kids, so good for your parents.

Wired: "Shes one of the best indoor skydivers" All 5 other professional indoor skydivers: offended

Definitely could have a career in movie stunts since there are more science fiction / space movies coming out in the future. There will be a demand for stunt people who can perform in zero gravity situations.

I've done indoor skydiving and it is such a cool experience! Insanely expensive. But by far the most amazing thing I've ever done, highly addictive, and I can't wait to do it again!!!

That's hard. I'm still working on level 1 belly flying... Granted, I have a career and haven't lived near a tunnel until recently. The ~$20/min cost doesn't help either... I'm sure there are discounts for blocks of time and it's cheaper without a coach.

I wonder how expensive it’s to built this thing and use it.
@iansteelmatheson 3年前

for now it's yet another "rich people only" sport

I did this in my dreams once, but even in my dreams I pulled a couple muscles.
