ScubaSteve 0 #26 April 19, 2004 Tiger Woods did a tandem a few weekends ago with the GKs. It was reported that he really liked it and planned on continuing, at least one more tandem. Hope he goes AFF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #27 April 19, 2004 QuoteThe lead singer from Diamond Rio jumps, or so I've been told. You're thinking of the guitar player, Jimmy Olander. It's sad when I have more Country Music trivia than you do, Dave. *off to go throw down some Ramones to use as mental floss now*Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(lead guitar) is the only one I've ever met or jumped with. I'll ask him next time I see him. Also, he wouldnt consider himself a celebrity, but the lead guitar player for Little Jimmy Dickens at the Grand Ole Opry is an AFF/Tandem/Rigger and GM of a dz. (guess which one!!??)

sdgregory 0 #33 April 19, 2004 At Deland there is an autographed photo from Tom Cruise with him and his AFFIs. Just him, no nicole kidman. Apparently he learned while filming Days of thunder which is the film he and Nicole met on so I seriously doubt that he did it with her. Betcha someone from Deland would have the info.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JohnRich 4 #38 April 19, 2004 Lea Thompson made a tandem jump at Skydive Houston several years ago. She was in town acting and singing in some production, and came out to the DZ with much of the crew for jumps. She's the star of the TV show "Caroline in the City", and such notable movies as "Howard the Duck". Yeah, that one was a real classic! One of the skydivers embarassed here by saying; "Hey, aren't you that gal in 'Howard the Duck'"? Ha! What a thing to be famous for... The tandem master was Roger Webb. I can report that she's just as cute in real life, as in the movies. She's a babe!
