Not necessarily. The tunnel in NC started a program for a membership program $500/month which gave you either the potential for 5 minutes a day or 30 minutes per week. So you share your time with someone else and it goes to potentially hours per week. Other places have adopted this. Also most if not all the kids in this sport have parents in the industry. So I’m guessing that her time is greatly reduced or free because of sponsorships.
@@redwolf7929 I kinda wonder if they use solar energy or have some self-produced way of creating energy so the costs are lower... I don’t know. I think that would be cool. Solar power or something?
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.
It's not a problem that the parents are rich it's a problem that the kids get spoiled. But dont worry most times rich kids lose all the parents money cause they never learned the discipline and hardship that led to the money in the first place
I spend 140 per week on this, ik ppl who spend $140 1-2 times every month. And if u plan to do outdoor skydiving, it helps a lot too. Its all bout the memories at the end of the day, dont got a lot of time here so y not do what u want to.

You don’t have to be that rich. The cost for pro flyers is not that high, it usually about 800 usd for an hour without coaching. But you use it 15 minute chunks, so you can train 15 minutes per week and it will cost you 800 usd per month.

Well, not really zero G. You move up or down depending on your surface area exposed to the airflow. You can get zero G in an aircraft that goes up and down over and over, though. It doesn't last long per dive but you could edit the shots together later.

Yes, it is definitely a rather expensive sport, but not utterly ridiculously expensive. I've spent 4.000$ in one year of indoor skydiving (about once a week), which is definitely not inexpensive, but doable if e.g. you don't have kids and Indoor Skydiving is a priority for you.
She is talented and confident. I love her movement, it is very aesthetic. I hope she continues to enhance her skills. I'm surprised that so many people, especially male adults are showing sheer jealousy against her in this comment line. Literally all comments are sarcastically talking about her wealth; not for fancy technologies nor amazing performance.
anyone can get as far as her with the right Amount on MONEY MONEY MONEY ! I once had a chance to drive a Racecar on a Track. As i did (illegal) Street Racing in my Younger days i had the Feeling. Nope - not Dragracing... STREE RACING in Europe looks different. Point a to Point B. Either through the City or curvy Countryside Roads. So nothing for Americans ;-) Well, the Instructor was shocked of my Driving Skills and as he recognized my time i needed for aLap after a few training ones he blamed me to be a Pro pranking him.

@@FRITZI999 I once had a chance to join a indoor bloudering training once and the coach me I was talented as that was the first time I ever went to one, however, I don't have chance to do that again because it is too expensive
I’ve been to iFly and it’s truly amazing. All your anxiety builds up waiting to get inside and once you start flying you feel like you’re in your own world
most tunnels run around $700-$800 an hour plus coach rate. first time flyer rates are usually around $35/min starting. 2 minutes for $70 is the base package at my tunnel.
a full flight session is 1minute long the offer is usually 2 sessions for $90, and the prices can vary on where you go I would compare this to horseback riding-as an example of "you can't do it everywhere, and it's expensive to do" but you either can afford to go do it frequently or just have a stable

Thank you! I tried flying at 4 1 time and then started in flight school at age 8. Pretty cool, just like going to gymnastics or dance class each week. Who wouldn't want to fly!
The cost of flying in a wind tunnel is so expensive, forget the Olympics. Judging by the mere cost of training and competing, expect this to go of the way that Formula-1 did. Personally I would prefer Wired to highlight the diverse competitors in sports.
Exactly, I don't think sports that cost loads of money to train for should be in the Olympics, she must be spending a fortune on practicing. I think Olympic sports should be avaliable to everyone
You’ll be surprised but there are very good wind tunnels in Russia which cost 3 times cheaper than in Europe/Us. I see a lot of Americans and European train in Saint Petersburg in and Moscow tunnels when I go there.
If you want to skydive I would highly recommend doing it. I just went 3 days ago for my first time, it was awesome and I'm terrified of heights. Once your at the door it's really not scary.
@Captain MufDyven you’d be very wrong and surprised. They have to get these tunnels to pretty high speeds for head down freefliers. Kind of like that Darth Vader quote, “the weight of an individual is insignificant next to the power of aerodynamics”
I realize this comment is a year old but... you should give real skydiving a shot! There are skydiving centers all over that offer tandem jumps for around $200-$250, and it's well worth it to try at least once. You'll be harnessed to an experienced skydiving instructor who will do pretty much everything, so you can just enjoy the thrill of your life on the way down!
I hope Sydney does try sky diving! I have a fear of heights, too. I started sky diving as a teen ager. I have jumped over 50 times. I still do it occasionally. Sky diving is a very surreal feeling. Not connected to the sky, not connected to the ground. Very freeing feeling. Love it!
Why is this comment section so negative?!! Yeah this costs a lot of money and most people (me included) probably won't ever do it (except if it gets cheaper) but I don't get the bitterness in the comments... This girl does a lot of training and exercise in and outside of a wind tunnel to get better and I can't imagine that all that many people would be able to show that dedication So I think she should be commended for that even though her parents have more money than most of us...
Indoor skydiving is what I think a form of skydiving(which it certainly is-) for people who get nauseous easily, scared of heights, or faint easily. Both certainly look fun but I believe that indoor skydiving is more where you don’t have to worry about parachutes, and doing flips but the actual skydiving is where you can fly through the sky or clouds, in all I think both are pretty fun.
Go Sydney! You go girl! That's so great that you are blazing the trail to a new sport that might be in the Olympics some day! You are a founder, girl! You know that? A founder! Not many people get to live their lives and be called a founder. You go girl! So proud of you!
COOL! I had no idea it was an actual sport! That's amazing! Well, any real athlete (especially professionals) will stay in shape the best they can, it could only help them in their sport. I guess contortion, acrobatics and gymnastics should easily make sense with this. AWESOME! Syd's really cool! :)
The whole time i watched this, i thought: "money money money, must be funny, in a rich mans world" Than i felt bad for that and take a look in the comments... yeah ok, everybody seems to think that.
I'm not sure why there is any harsh judgement for or against what she is doing. I don't personally know her or the income level of her parents. She had an opportunity to pursue a very uncommon discipline and she has excelled at it. By looking at her body, flexibility, and grace it is clear that she has worked hard to be able to compete at the highest levels. We should always encourage people to pursue their dreams.
She's soocool, she is going new places and not eing scare to transform and inovate what she wants and loves( if you ask me, thats amazing) even iff you don't ask lol

Wow, it’s so encouraging to see a young, wealthy person whose parents can afford all those countless hours in the sky diving zone, taking it to the next level! Sorry, but this is way more wealth and opportunity than talent...
This comment is so stupid… Why are people so jealous of rich people? If you live in a decent place stop hating and do something with your life. This is not only wealth since doing those movements she did is not easy, if you had seen a lot of people doing this you probably havent seen something like this. Stop hating people that does something with their life and do it yourself
Some pretty incredible stuff, good for her. While I was watching I was wondering if someone who was paraplegic could do this, and even rig something to bend their legs with an arm controller. Seems like it would be a pretty cool experience.

So I think she should be commended for that even though her parents have more money than most of us...
5:21 Same with ballet. Most people, if they haven't tried it themselves, just think it's a simple frilly artform.
1:10 is it just me or the voice is very addictive
Just you.
It's a start to *flying competitions*. Build it as an horizontal tunnel and you got something magical.
Looks like so much fun. She makes it look easy. Maybe one day hopefully I can try it.
Go Get It! ... This life is short! Get on it!
This must be awesome to do! Respect! A real sky-Angel!
So happy for her! I’m looking to get into this as well!
0:46 Just one more... one...
This looks pretty awesome. Now I have to try something like this.
Indoor skydiving is what I think a form of skydiving(which it certainly is-) for people who get nauseous easily, scared of heights, or faint easily. Both certainly look fun but I believe that indoor skydiving is more where you don’t have to worry about parachutes, and doing flips but the actual skydiving is where you can fly through the sky or clouds, in all I think both are pretty fun.
Go Sydney! You go girl! That's so great that you are blazing the trail to a new sport that might be in the Olympics some day! You are a founder, girl! You know that? A founder! Not many people get to live their lives and be called a founder. You go girl! So proud of you!
Thanks for the kind words! Love this sport so much!
4:00 “Good thing I’ve got a 90 degree dangle”
Sucks to be poor... If only my parents privileged me into experiencing a wind tunnel at the age of 4. I can barely afford to have internet.
Oof dude, hope you make a career and get a bag dude
Quit bitching and change it.
@@cbreezy jesus christ
Related, high or even mid class people don’t understand, i respect you for being a fellow low income citizen.
@@karelpgbr yo I respect your comment. You wish the best for others and in turn I wish the best for you. ✌
Impresionante, adrenalina y hermoso al mismo tiempo ! Felicitaciones !!!!
COOL! I had no idea it was an actual sport! That's amazing! Well, any real athlete (especially professionals) will stay in shape the best they can, it could only help them in their sport. I guess contortion, acrobatics and gymnastics should easily make sense with this. AWESOME! Syd's really cool! :)
Love the fluttery ears. Cute.
So basically she is the most talented super rich girl in the sport of super riches
Go-Karting is much more $$$
Imagine this girl showing up on an a skydive course and not telling she’s an indoor skydiver, flying head down around the instructor on her first jump
This girl deffo inspired animations in the new Spidey game
Good for you. Nice to see that joy on a young persons face.
I want to see her go undercover at an indoor skydiving place and pretend to be doing it for the first time.
The Scorpion Move is an advanced Yoga position. Good luck to her. I would watch that if they made it an Olympic event.
The whole time i watched this, i thought: "money money money, must be funny, in a rich mans world"
Than i felt bad for that and take a look in the comments... yeah ok, everybody seems to think that.
I'm not sure why there is any harsh judgement for or against what she is doing. I don't personally know her or the income level of her parents. She had an opportunity to pursue a very uncommon discipline and she has excelled at it. By looking at her body, flexibility, and grace it is clear that she has worked hard to be able to compete at the highest levels. We should always encourage people to pursue their dreams.
She's soocool, she is going new places and not eing scare to transform and inovate what she wants and loves( if you ask me, thats amazing) even iff you don't ask lol
I watched this while struggling to fit into pants.
Thanks Life!
Why would you be bothered about that? She's fourteen and has not had the chance to get frumpy. She keeps in shape constantly. What do you do for workouts?
@@jamescurfman3284 Dude, you read way too deep into this person's comment. And then asking them what they do for their workout? I see you, you're one of those sneaky little buggers that hides in dark corners or like a bed bug. Yeah. I see you.
@@Erocks301 No, you don't see me. You definitely have it wrong.
@@jamescurfman3284 he definitely has it right
@@lightswitch2622 No, he does not. And neither do you. Quit trying to put blame for what you have done on me. Sneaky little buggers, both of you. Shame. SHAME ON YOU BOTH! Don't you DARE put it on me. That has NEVER been how I roll.
Her helmet's little wings are cute
I would love to try. She's next level, but I would just like to enjoy the experience.
Do it it’s amazing!
You should try, it is amazing!
This always looked sick this chick is a beast!
The weirdest part of all of this is that this is a sport. You can turn anything into a sport.
yea its really weird how they call gymnastics a sport..
Check out Penguinz0 for commentary over weird niche sports
@@mixmastermike2128 Gymnastic? This is someone sitting in a wind tunnel. How can you compare that to gymnastics?
sitting? ok. If i have to explain you wouldnt understand.
Pulling a piano out of your nose will never be a sport!
👍👏👏wonderful hope learning more for this sport you’re amazing
Nice to see what rich parents can allow their kids to do :)
You can’t be upset that people are rich. If you were rich, wouldn’t you want to allow your kids to pursue their dreams?
@@aaleyah3082 Wow. I though rich people will force their children to be like them (parents).
They've got to spend all that money on something...
She said : 🧍♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
Wow, it’s so encouraging to see a young, wealthy person whose parents can afford all those countless hours in the sky diving zone, taking it to the next level! Sorry, but this is way more wealth and opportunity than talent...
She might have sponsors now
I bet you're fun at parties
@@Lilwolf94 he's speaking facts maybe negative but fact none the less bet she gets her way at every party her parents throw birthday or not
This comment is so stupid… Why are people so jealous of rich people? If you live in a decent place stop hating and do something with your life. This is not only wealth since doing those movements she did is not easy, if you had seen a lot of people doing this you probably havent seen something like this. Stop hating people that does something with their life and do it yourself
we need more affordable community wind tunnels for the homies.
im a skydiving instructor here and i get loads of time to use the tunnel for free, just apply for an ifly near you
Some pretty incredible stuff, good for her. While I was watching I was wondering if someone who was paraplegic could do this, and even rig something to bend their legs with an arm controller. Seems like it would be a pretty cool experience.
Yes! The tunnels all host regular all abilities nights. It is an amazing thing to see someone in a wheelchair get in the tunnel and fly!
That looks strangely relaxing.
She’s such a badass. Now I want to sign my daughter up to try this.
Better be rich
Go Sydney go!
Let's hope she learns the "pull rip cord" move if she decides to skydive.
Make sure she has an AAD :)
"you spin me right round baby right round like a record player"
Wow things I didn’t know just exist,
don’t they guys?!
I wish this was around when I was a teen.
If I was in that thing, I would pretend I was in a dragon ball Z episode and fight my friends
Yeah, but first you have to have ten years of experience.
@@karelpgbr she has only been flying for four years not ten.
I agree. Should be an Olympic event
