May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Brodes 0 #7 October 17, 2004 Quote(tandem in new zealand, 1200ft)Quote Yeah, that WOULD be scary, hardcore!!

Sounds like the harness was too tight. If you do another Tandem, as the Instructor to loosen the laterals under canopy.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.
