bmyers8568 0 #3 July 20, 2004 I am trying to talk my oldest daughter into making a tandem when she comes for a visit in August. My youngest daughter and I visit the DZ every chance we get and jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropdeded 0 #4 July 20, 2004 Cool My Mom agreed to do an observer ride when (if) Mullins brings his King Air to Taft again this winter. Im thinkin that would be "ALMOST" as cool as a Tandem. She's 67 and refuses to go the Tandem route dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lainey 0 #10 July 20, 2004 Awe congrats to her, that’s rad. I asked my mum to do a tandem on my 21st birthday for me. She’s gone from saying no way outright to… hmmmm how much does this tandem thing cost? So I’m figuring I’ve got about 5 months to work on her. She’s been reading BASE jumping books and watching skydiving videos and docos, she seems quite excited by it all now but she’s still a bit iffy about the whole thing. maybe one day though. .

Evelyn 0 #12 July 20, 2004 That's very cool that your mom did a tandem at 53. Now you've just gotta get her to go through AFF. I did my first jump (a tandem) for my 50th birthday. Didn't plan to get hooked, but here I am a year later and can't imagine not jumping every weekend.
