ltdiver 3 #1 July 15, 2003 For those of us involved in the student skydiver scene, what is the very best first statement you've heard your student say right after landing from his/her first jump? Usually they're hilarious one liners... The best one I ever heard came from this past weekend. A young man made a tandem in which I flew video. The first line out of his mouth when I asked him what he thought of his first skydive was, "I think I swallowed my balls!!" What are the best ones you've heard?! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 July 15, 2003 "The tree didn't look intemmidating, so I wasn't worried..." One of our AFF students after turning left a few times when we said right on the radio, thus him landing in a tree. (He and the gear were pefectly fine, thank god).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry81 10 #3 July 15, 2003 "A gust of wind caught me just as I jumped from the plane.." (explaining why his position on exit was somewhat less then perfect) Another student: "I just knew I was gonna mix something up." (after landing and triumphantly cutting away his main rather than picking it up.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TitaniumLegs 8 #14 July 15, 2003 Quote "This is just like doggie-style." The Monterey Otter has floor padding instead of seats. We kneel to hook up. I told this one cute tandem to get on her knees for hookup and she thought I meant hands and knees.... (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
