grue 1 #1 April 25, 2007 "So I'm going skydiving tonight, quarter mile out from the beach, 12,000ft. At night. For the first time, ever. Solo." a few posts later: "Well I'm jumping with a certified instructor, but he's my best friend, and completely nuts. He's going tandem with a chick." On the one hand, these sort of things usually make me laugh. On the other hand, you always wonder in the back of your mind "What if?"cavete terrae.

However, I do know a tandem instructor who did a night tandem awhile back... this was before I'd started my training and I just kinda thought ... "oh awesome!" But now.... holy moley What kinds of repercussions can happen b/c of something like that? I don't mean injuries... could the instructor get his license taken away?Into the great wide open/ under them skies of blue/ out in the great wide open/ a rebel w/out a clue.....

sharimcm 0 #13 April 25, 2007 Fuck me if I'm wrong, but don't you need to hold a B license or at least have the qualifications of B license holder? Or, am I wrong?

4201 0 #18 April 25, 2007 I remember having some guy bull shit me once about jumping too. It's really cool to play along with them. It's really funny when they can't remember what kind of gear they have, and don't even know what a container is. You ask, and they pause for a moment, and they say "i can't remember, but i need new toggles" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broke 0 #19 April 25, 2007 Just ask if they are jumping with a double ended strap on deployment device... lol or once he claims to finish the jump if he had a slider down malfunctionDivot your source for all things Hillbilly.

warpedskydiver 0 #20 April 25, 2007 If it is true there will be some cheap gear,that is slightly damp for sale on Ebay soon.Maybe he stole the idea from Andy to cut his risers @500'AGL and do a perfect dive into the water and then ride standing upon the noses of two Great White Sharks.

skyguy78 0 #21 April 25, 2007 I once met a guy who claimed on his 5th static line jump that they connected a stileto 135. And he jumped that for his final static line. I was jealous, my progression to a stilletto 150 took nearly 600 jumps and here a guy my same size was able to do it in 5.There is a fine line between being a hopeless romantic and a stalker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
