I heard a female comedian comment on basically this issue. That guys think the idea of two girls gettin’ it on is hot, but women are a bit different. So the woman walks in on her man havein’ some hot homosexual sex, her reaction would be a bit different than if the situation was reversed. Not’n says love like a mans hairy ass!!

Best to plan in advance, and do it in a way that you don’t have to hide the body or explain shit! Can you cay “boating accident”? Just take your “friend” out for a friendly afternoon of drinking and fishing. Get em to look over the edge of the boat and shoe em in the ass! All ya got’a say is “the bitch fell in!” I would guess that just about everyone here knows of someone who died in a droning accident. Water’s some dangerous shit! The irony is that so many people think that skydiving is dangerous and fishin’ safe. I can think of two or three people who died fishing. I wonder how many were really accidents. Ladies, be ware if your husband all the sudden wants to buy a boat and take up fishing! And that goes double for you fellas!

I have a couple really exceptional students I can think of. One was the son of a skydiver, at the time the DZ was allowing 16 year olds to do the static line course with parental permission. He had grown up at the DZ, I was his jump master and if you had saw him climb out, arch, etc. you would have sworn that he had 100 jumps and was just pretending to be a first jump student. Another of my favorite stories is about a couple of 18 year old girls we took for a tandem years ago, and not to long after I got the ratting. One of the girls warned me that she would be screaming, and swearing. I told her that she would be going with me! We did have video on her, form the time the door opened she was screaming and you can see what I would describe as the look you see on the face of the girl just before she gets stabbed in a scary movie. Anyway, we leave the airplane, get stable, throw the drogue, and in comes the video for the happiest most excited girl you could imagine. There’s a picture of her on the plane in the rotation here http://www.aircapitaldropzone.com/tandem.htm Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else. AC DZ

I’d vote for Tandem Instructor. I/we do a 10 min instruction session with every student we take up. I think they get a lot more out of the jump if they have a basic understanding of the safety systems, progression of the jump, ect. Regardless of whether they ever jump again, they know immensely more about skydiving than when they walked in the door!

My DZ uses a Cessna 182, and I exit form the step facing the tail. In a perfect world with this exit we would go head down then settle into belly to earth. As you know tandem skydiving is anything but a perfect world, and it usually goes over and rotates back form the side to belly to earth if you both arch right off the plane. I let it go over, and right off the step I'm tapping the student on both thighs. Works for me! Never been in a side spin with a tandem, it might have something to do with the fact that I’m 6’8” (that’s right at 2 meters for those in the metric world) and have been able to control everything I’ve been given in 450 or so tandems. There have been a few that took everything I could put out to keep us form turning, so I understand how a smaller instructor might have an issue. My most “stand out” student was “former military” with military jumps, always be suspect of these guys. He did a nice “superman” slightly dearched and straight form fingertip to toe, no way even I could flip him over! I dearched with him so we would settle on our backs and started hitting him! After a thousand feet of beating him on the thighs he did arch for me. Ever notice that it’s like trying to hit someone under water when you’re in freefall?

I have over 400 jumps on Icarus tandem canopies (330, and 365). They do well in all conditions in my opinion (I jump in Kansas). I’ll take a tandem in up to 25mph wind, and load the 365 up to 525 lbs. They do have a fast ground speed in no wind, so it’s a “sit down landing”. They actually land better with a heavy wing load. Openings are consistently slow/soft regardless of loading/fall rate. They seldom open totally on heading, and sometimes will take you all the way round, but in over 450 tandems I have had line twists once or twice. I like the 330, but if you’ll only have one Icarus Tandem Canopy I would recommend a 365. I don’t see any reason to go with a 400’, unless you’re planning on loading it up to 600 lbs. I like the “2/6” steering line configuration, with 2 points on the outside toggles, and 6 on the inside. A little girl can totally steer it by her self. My only complaint with Icarus Tandem canopies is related to work done by Precision Aerodynamics. I had the 330 relined by Precession, and it flew like crap! After 20 or so jumps, I sent it to Skyworks Rigging, they looked at it and the line trim was totally wrong with the A lines way to long (no speed, no flair), they relined it for half regular cost (even though it wasn’t their screw up) and it flys like new again! I don’t know how Precision stays in business, seems they screw up more than they do correctly! If you’re going to buy a new one, go to Icarus!

We have two Eclipse rigs at my DZ, with Icarus mains (one 330, and one 365). A while back (winter) I had a guy weighing 240 come out to jump, at the time the 365 was out for a reline. I told him to come back in a couple weeks when the canopy was back, and also not to gain any weight! When he came back we had just hooked the canopy up, we geared up, and just before boarding the plane it occurred to me to put him on the scale. He was 263 lb; I got on the scale with the rig and weighed about the same (right at 525 suspended, which is tso on the Tandem Raven 375). I was a bit nervous to say the least; we did the jump and had a nice gentle opening, and stand up landing! As has been mentioned, I really didn’t want this one to be my first experience with the Tandem Raven! I don’t have a problem taking the short heavy chicks (I much prefer the attractive ones); main thing is that they will be uncomfortable in the harness. Slightly off subject, between Mark and I, we have over 800 tandems on the Icarus mains. I know that there used to be a bit of apprehension regarding these tandem mains. To date we haven’t had a cut away. They consistently open off heading, but I think in over 400 tandems I have had line twists once or twice.

I might use that one, but I don't think it'll become part of my usual routine! I had a girl proclaim once after landing “I need to FUCK now!” I told her that I would have to check with my wife on that one, and get back with her.

This is an “old” thread, but I was searching on the subject. Quite a bit of helpful stuff here! The only thing I would add that I do regarding the interview is to interview family members including the little kids. If you can get them to talk all the better, but I figure in the long run it will be another reason to put in “that old skydive video” down the road when the little kids on the tape are older. I’ll also ask a WOFO family member, (usually grandma or pa) simply “what’s your excuse!” Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else. AC DZ

I’ve done about 500 tandems (as instructor), and I’m getting board of the same old material I use with my passengers. I’m looking for clever “tag lines” or whatever to use with my students. I often say after opening “well, looks like we’re goin’ to live!” obviously my tandem passengers don’t know that I say this to just about everybody, but I’m getting tired of it. Also, the time between hooking up and door is primetime for “clever”! I also do video; I’m in need of a few new/different “interview” ideas for both before and after. Also along those lines, give me your “clever” ideas as a response to the somewhat typical passenger (usually female) response of “that’s better than sex!” comment.

This is WAY wrong. Where I come from, anyone with any sort of recording equipment of ANY kind at a bachelor party is summarily ejected and/or beaten sensless. You just don't bring recording devices to the batchelor party - that's just asking for trouble. What are you going to do, blackmail the groom with it later? You defiantly have a point there! It was funny (to me) for a few hours preceding the arrival of the dancers I was walking around with it talking to guys, and was surprised at the reaction form some. You need to picture the situation, at this point it was guys drinking beer in a yard. I don’t know, maybe they snuck out the window after the wife was asleep or something. As I said when it got to the point that things were happening that would really be a problem if recorded, I turned off the camera and put it away. I guess I was in more of a “boogie” mode (been skydiving all day) than “bachelor party”, seems everything is recorded at a boogie.

The last bachelor party I went to, I didn’t even know the bachelor. It was out on a farm, in a barn, with a hay trailer set up as a stage for the dancers. There was quite some confusion with the dancers, and through sever phone calls three did show up around 1:00 am I think. Things degraded quite quickly as one of the three was going way farther than the other two were, and she was getting all the attention/tips. Eventually one of the guys (not the groom) was laying on the “stage” and there was a chant of “SUCK HIS DICK, SUCK HIS DICK”, she produced a condom, and did the deed! I had actually had my PC-9 with me, but at this point turned it off! First and most likely the last public dick suckin’ I’ll ever attend. Long/short, end of show, dancers had to leave! I’m not sure, but that was most likely “to far”. What do you think? Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else. AC DZ

The incomparable Mr. Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove Right movie, but not Sellers lines. How about this one, I like to use this on my tandem passingers while wainting for door on jump run.

How about this one, I haven’t seen anything form this movie and I know 98% of you know it! “Your wife tells us that you’re the Head Jumpin’ Bean.” “No man, she aint my wife, she’s just my ol’lady.” “Ah, Mr. Hicks, would you turn up your radio just a tad?” Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.
