slcooper 0 #1 July 2, 2009 What's up everyone! Just found this forum, looks like alot of cool people on here. I'm doing my first tandem tomorrow morning at Skydive Spaceland. I would say wish me luck but the person who is going to be jumping with my big ass will be needing it instead. SteveWhy would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

And don't vomit in the air; Remember which way the wind is blowing, and where your tandem master is."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

slcooper 0 #12 July 4, 2009 That was an amazing and addicting experience! It was so much fun I almost ran to manifest to buy my second tandem for later that day. Didn't puke, but a camera man did say that every instructor on the plane would give me $20 if I managed to on the way down, LOL The guy strapped to my back didn't think it was funny :)Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

Trust meSome people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
