christopherm 0 #1 May 13, 2002 Hey everyone! Was talking to co-workers at DZ today (wasting away completely trashy day) and we pondered which three people should hold records for most tandem jumps (on the bottom). We've got someone named Mike at our DZ that has 54. We heard of also someone at Perris that has 200 someodd and even has her own tandem gear. Lets find out who the top three are!-So, how hard is the ground?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebazz1 2 #5 May 13, 2002 Tandem record? I can't offer any names but it obviously has to be a tandem evaluator. Someone who has been doing it for years.Sebazz........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christopherm 0 #6 May 13, 2002 Tandem evaluators don't count. We need to find those that do tandems only because they can't jump on their own.-So, how hard is the ground?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billbooth 10 #7 May 13, 2002 Christopherm;Chet Poland, an old jumper from the 1920's, did over 100 tandems during his 80's. and...I know this doesn't count, but in order to be the first person to reach 500 tandems, I did 50, in one day with the same passenger.

hookit 0 #9 May 13, 2002 There's a guy who jumps at Spaceland who purchased his own tandem rig because he can only do tandems. Last I heard he had around 50 or 60 tandems I believe and that was about 6 months ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbrasher 1 #10 May 14, 2002 Coral Degagne has a USPA 'C' license (restricted) and over 200 jumps. See the cover shot in Parachutist (yr ago last Oct?). She recently was in Mexico at Rocky Point jumping on the beach. Red, White and Blue Skies,John T. Brasher D-5166 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
