Did a tandem

Jump number 239 was a tandem with AggieDave. Dave will get his TM rating today. Doing a tandem was kinda coolk actually, except for the I am not in control part.

Reminds me of my first tandem.
It was at the 1984 Canadian Nationals.
I had about 300 jumps.
I was strapped on the front of Rob Laidlaw.
Even though Rob was captain of the World Champion 8-way team, I still felt naked and nervous.
Ha! Ha!

Congrats Dave!

Now, if you value your knees (from what I've been told) get back into that gym fulltime, or quit doing tandems now (even though you just started).
It's your life, live it!

I do have an advantage that I'm a big and very strong SOB, but you're definately right, I need to do some specific excersizing for TMing.

My shoulders are pretty sore from flying and flairing the canopies, as well as the rest of my body from doing those tandems this weekend.

Actually, the guy I used the most for my victum is one of the packers we have, so I said "tell ya what, you jump with me and you'll get all the packjobs from me for the course" so he couldn't pass up the guarunteed more then $100. B|
