josheezammit 0 #1 September 3, 2006 I know for me its just the beginning, but i am proud to join the ranks, I hope mr. booth is satisfied with my tandem test answers cause tomorrow, I start something I hoped for since the first time I ever set foot on Skydive San Marcos, I become a home grown tandem instructor, making those crazy enough smile with the rest of you and doing my best to provide one hell of a ride, taking the noobs out for the first time. I am honored to be one of those who get to share the big blue sky with others, and change the way they look up for the rest of their lives. Thank you to all of you that made it possible for me to fly the friendly, crazy, drogueless, unstable, stable, and absolutely breath-taking sky's. I will never forget what I have learned or the extra attention you have taken to making me feel confident and important. So bring it on students, I am your tandem master, Josh. Ahh, what a wonderful world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feuergnom 28 #2 September 4, 2006 just some small pieces of advice: Stick to the book! The better the ground-prep the less trouble a student will make in free-fall It is your decision to end a (tandem)skydive (read: PULL) when things get way over your head - better open high and spend more time under canopy than having to cope with more shit Watch the side-spin video (yeah i know its from strong enterprises and you are into becoming a vector-rated TI) and learn from it. best to do is go for a solo and try to create a sidespin and recover from it - this is a big eye-opener gear up your student according to the manual (did i say stick to the book already?), you don't want to be the next TI loosing a passenger there's nothing like the smile of a passenger after landing blues - feuergnomThe universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
