skydiverton 0 #26 March 27, 2005 QuoteHello, I was just wondering guys, what is the minimum requirement to start training as a tandem master? Thing is I just travelled round Australia and I am looking to get permanent residancy and the Tandem market is huge over there. There is nothing I would like more than jumping out with Swedish chicks strapped to me for a living! My plan is to work up to Tandem Master status in the UK and move over to Oz. I know it is a long way off but I'm the type of person that needs a plan in life and a target to aim for and if I know what I hav to do it will not seem as so much of a mamoth task! I would appreciate any ideas, suggestions and information! Hope everyone is ok and blue skies to everyone! Bazza Wake up. For each chick you are allowed to jump with, you get 50 pigs at least!! Even worse. The nice chick are generally the passengers causing problems on exit of freefall, not miss/mister piggy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hard part is having your 105 pound wife swoop in on one of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeth 0 #28 April 4, 2005 Quote I call those chicks "flow-ers." Since every time you adjust the harness, they seem to flow around the straps...and make you shudder. Ok, I admit, I laughed. But c'mon, I'm sure U get some fat-ass men, too!! Don't U have smart-ass names for them, too? Seriously, fat women really get shafted in our society, its so unfair. I have some overweight friends who I'd like to bring for a tandem. They are within weight limits, but they are very self-conscious and think that they will be embarrassed, so they won't go. Its really unfair that fat men don't seem to get the ridicule of fat women."At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

Most of the men that are fat that are still within the weight limits I take are beer gutted and still flow around the harness. Infact, I can men and women flow-ers.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure do...most of 'em are named "Bubba" some are called "Tiny" and, sometimes they're called " That one's yours".... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
