Tink1717 2 #1 August 16, 2006 ...Until this guy shows up. The dude is 6' 10", I'm 5'4". I thought manifest was kidding for a minute,then I realized it was no joke. He was so tall that his ass was on the ground before my feet even landed. Other than that, the jump went fine. 6' 10", I mean jeeze.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

SpeedRacer 1 #2 August 16, 2006 holy shit! I always wondered how tandem masters would handle a situation like that. I guess most of the TMs i knew on my old DZ were tall guys. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

htrammel 0 #6 August 16, 2006 We had a guy about that size show up at Palatka many years ago. Mad Dog was his TM and he's about your size, Tink. The passenger walked them off the tailgate of the Caribou and Mad Dog's feet never touched the airplane floor. Quite the sight to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
