mrbopeep 0 #1 August 5, 2008 Hey guys, I've never jumped before so I was wondering if I could get some tips from you guys. I was planning on tandem jumping at http://skydivecarolina.com so I didn't know if anyone had some pointers for a first-timer.Mr BoPeep ~ What we do in life echos in eternity - Gladiator Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrbopeep 0 #5 August 5, 2008 I appreciate that. I was worried about getting scammed since I called this one place and they wouldn't give me the address and expected prepayment in full. I'm glad to see such good reviews.Mr BoPeep ~ What we do in life echos in eternity - Gladiator Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to see such good reviews. Congrats! Good, heads-up stuff! You obviously ran into Skyride. Do a search here on "skyride" and learn more about the shady dealings that you avoided.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
