AggieDave 6 #1 August 18, 2003 I love the stuff tandem students sometimes say before and/or after their first jump. Half the time its something funny or something really cool. Here's one I thought was cool from this weekend. "Dude, that was better then the rodeo!" From an ex-Marine, now firefigher that used to ride bulls at rodeos. I thought that was cool.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird 0 #18 August 19, 2003 Last Thursday one of our pilots did his first tandem. For 2 years he's avoided having to do a jump, declaring us all crazy. Until he's told 'today you are doing a tandem'. So he goes up, not enthusiastically, but he knows he can't get out of it. On jumprun, the door opens and the tm spots. On video, our pilot/student carefully looks out just a bit, pulls back in, and says, 'This is fucked up!' When he reaches the ground, he's completely pumped, and can't wait for a chance to do PFF. We've corrupted another pilot! Woohoo! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

mccordia 74 #19 August 19, 2003 Not realy a tandem-quote, but a few weeks back we had a student (1st jump) do a cut-away because he couldn't get his slider to go up...it just stayed down...so he pumped his breaks a few times, and then did chopchop...he felt a bit silly after that....JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
