freefalle 0 #1 May 16, 2005 I know this is a senseless post that doesn't really effect anyone else but thats okay. It's been a month now since I finished my tandem ratings and I just have to say, I love it!!! I know the joy may wear off in time but right now I am having a blast. I've gotten to meet some great people and introduce them to skydiving, I've had a couple that scared the shit out of me, but I got through it and my confidence went up a notch. there is no cooler feeling then watching the excitment in a tandem student. Very cool stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #4 May 16, 2005 You get it, you actually get what it is to be a TI! I'm still a newish TI, been doing it for a hair under 2 years and have about 700 tandem jumps and still get very excited when I have students.I know its hard to explain to others that aren't TIs, but its such a blast to be a TI.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
