You'll lose speed, but keep altitude. It will look like you have a choice, speed or height, but either way you're still gonna nose-dive into the ground. -Chuck Palahniuk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sducoach 0 #30 July 13, 2003 Please, please do it!!!!

Seriously though, I have never accepted a tip eventhough they have been offered several time. I ask the student to spend it on another jump so I can go along with them again!!! Blues, J.E.James 4:8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites pccoder 0 #32 July 14, 2003 Jeez, I wish I had known this. I did AFF in February and tipped about $10 per jump, so in addition to the case of beer at the end, the $1300 for the AFF and all the time I had to take off of work, I also spent about $100 in tips. PcCoder.net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Shadowplay 0 #33 July 14, 2003 Today I completed level two. It was me, my usual JM and a guy who I like but had not jumped with before. I gave him ten bucks and he told me thanks but don't do it again. He said he'd rather see me punch out my jumps than give him tips. I thought that was really cool. I guess the theme at my DZ is after your first AFF, tipping is welcome but not very encouraged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites turtlespeed 220 #34 July 14, 2003 When i went through my AFF training I was wondering about the "Tip" jar that was in the golf cart. I asked if anyone had ever put anything in it. I was astounded to find out the answer was no. So I was thinking that I was going to be the first....I thought better...I only had so much money left on the card and another "First" would have run me completely dry. I did my all my tandem, a first jump course and my first solo all in one day. Later that weekend I did ask though, and the response was along the lines of save it for beer or jumping.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tictoc 0 #35 July 16, 2003 QuotePlease, please do it!!!!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Fireflyer 0 #46 August 29, 2003 yeah, i asked my dz owner when i was going through aff if tipping is customary, and it was frowned upon. the owners stated, in a very cool sense, that they pay them well, and you (i) am paying a lot of money, so its not expected. BUT the beer rule is fully enforced haha. Buy some when you finish AFF for the dz/your instructors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Peej 0 #47 August 29, 2003 I remember forward flipping out of the porter on one of my AFF levels (7 i think), getting stable and seeing my AFF instructor square in front of me smiling away. Then we fell through my first cloud - all i remember is being overwhelmed by the moment and screaming "oh wow!". The look on his face said it all - that was reward enough. i hope one day i can help give people the gift of the sky the same way he gave it to me. peace Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 Next Page 2 of 2 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
