BIGUN 1,314 #4 April 10, 2012 Note to future T/I's: Please... be sure to geek the camera much more yourself than putting positive emphasis on the student. You should do your best to make them look like a world class douche bag for their family's video album. Always ensure your helmet is on even if you can't find one for the student.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Abedy 0 #5 April 11, 2012 Every tandem student/guest is unique. We must never forget that we put ourselves in a situation that is potentially fatal. So you should never be surprised that students/guests show respective feelings. And each reaction is legitimate. A TI always should encourage their students and positively react to their feelings/reactions not only to put them into a positive light for their video but also to prevent worsening a situation where a student/guest might be shocked/afraid/feeling panicky.

If the tandem student has a good experience, maybe they'll want to learn how to do it on their own...My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that you're speaking based on own experience... But right - if you make the student look like a twit they will hardly consider coming back. And that's what tandem skydiving was originally thought for.The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
