livendive 8 #26 August 13, 2007 :14:0 Nothing but tandems this week. Between Wednesday evening and the weekend, I took 3 different people for their 60th birthdays, one for his 50th, one for her 18th, and one for her 23rd. That last one was particularly fun, as her boyfriend rolled out a 50x50 foot marriage proposal sign in the landing area while we were climbing to altitude. I flew over it and had her read it when we were at 2 grand and she freaked. The guy dropped to a knee & broke out a rock when we landed next to the sign. She had screamed yes a couple times while we were under canopy, told him maybe when we first landed, and then yes again after they talked a bit more. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

DougH 270 #30 August 13, 2007 : 9 : 2 My father did his first tandem, I jumped with him and docked for a split second, then moved out of the way to let him enjoy the skydive. First time I jumped with a family member. I had my first diving linetwists while taking Scott Miller's Canopy course on sunday."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
