AnalMike 0 #1 October 7, 2013 I received my tandem rating earlier this year when I had a revelation, thanks to a couple mentors who helped me when I started skydiving. Thankfully I've had some great opportunities this summer to get some experience under my belt, ranging from 182s to Caravans and Otters. Until recently I had felt uneasy on some jumps...I've always waited for a good stable time to set the drogue and gotten more comfortable with flying awkward exits however I've had some nasty rocking going on. This weekend I think I either figured it out or just finally got into that groove, and it felt good! Solid solid jumps all day, super smooth...using my legs more than anything at all and just felt really good. I must say that I'm really enjoying this! Thanks to everyone who's helped me get this far, it's been an amazing ride and there is plenty left to come!!!Anal Mike HEE HAW!!! http://www.droguedonkey.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loltron 0 #2 October 8, 2013 When turning with your legs, try to get your knee into your armpit with your foot flat, toes pointing out. And good job flying those exits. Always find it odd when people race to get the drogue out. Tandems are fun, eh?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
