guineapiggie101 0 #1 December 15, 2010 I am new here and wanted to say "hi". I've only tandemed jumped twice in my life (all within a 6 month period at the same DZ in Hawaii) and now want to maybe learn how to do it. It is a lot of fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guineapiggie101 0 #4 December 16, 2010 thanks to the both of you. if you wanted to choose a particular DZ to do AFF at, would you do a tandem jump first to see if you like it there, or would you just dive right in and sign up for the AFF course?

Yes. Seriously, I wouldn't waste any $ on a tandem just to 'check out' a dropzone...you can go to another DZ to finish your training if you are dissatisfied with your AFF initial choice. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would hang out at each dz, but I wouldn't necessarily do a tandem first just to see how they run things. That said, I usually do recommend a tandem first so people can just enjoy their first jump and not have to worry about saving their lives. But, to each his own...do what you feel comfortable with!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
