Jethers203 0 #1 February 28, 2004 Yeah, so I did my first Tandem today and I have 570 jumps!!! Interesting experience. I think it made it more fun that it was my first tandem and it was my tandem instructors first time taking a passenger. I still don't know who was more nervous. It is a real trip to not be in control after being in control for the past 5 years. I ended up doing two in a row and will be out tomorrow helping the guys get some more jumps in with a licensed jumper. I am shooting to have a total of 5 by tomorrow night. Man, FREE jumps are the SHIT!!!!! Clint D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We also got some really good freefall shots of our buddy doing the video. R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jethers203 0 #4 February 28, 2004 Yeah, I wanted to do that on the first one, but the TM wasn't cool with it. He was pretty nervous about thw whole thing. But, maybe today. Clint D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerryfuss 0 #5 February 28, 2004 Since the TM is control why not jump blindfolded? At least for Freefall. I guarantee that will be quite a different feeling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirenoremac 0 #6 February 28, 2004 Hehe. sweet. Mike just got his tandem rating too, Clint. I'm gonna get him to take me for a jump. Should be fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jethers203 0 #7 February 29, 2004 No, I didn't get my rating, I was just a passenger for someone who is trying to get their rating. Anyway, has Mike done any students yet? Is there anyone out there videoing? I told him I would video his tandems over spring break and summer. Let me know. Lates. Clint D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirenoremac 0 #8 March 1, 2004 Yeah, I know you didn't get your rating. I was just implying that somebody at my dropzone also just got their rating, and I am going to try to bum a ride. He hasn't done any students yet. crappy weather tc. no real vieoguys right now. I'm going to try to start., but... we'll see. peace. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
