SBS 0 #1 June 14, 2002 Ok, so I talked to my ex today (we're really good friends), and she's found herself a new boyfriend. She's going to do a tandem with me for her 21st birthday, he'll be here, and may jump as well. He's scared, but what I think would be stranger is to be attached to your g/f's ex while doing it.Anyway, guys are already intimidated, cause we were together through high school, lived together, etc., so they always want to make sure the ground is set and that I clearly understand that she is with them now.So, we (the glorious Square One staff) came up with a couple of ideas for the tandem...1) As we are already attached and heading to the door of the airplane, we get down on a knee to exit, or just walk out if we are in the skyvan...in any event, just before leaving, I mutter..."That bitch said she'd love me forever", and lunge out of the plane.2) For some of my students, I do the old 4 questions in freefall thing...once we are attached and ready to go (sometimes while they are staring out the open door on a goaround), I tell them, "We are attached at 4 points...in freefall, I'm going to ask you a series of 4 questions (I've got them serious to this point)...for each one you get wrong, I'll undo one attachment point...JUST DON'T GET THE 4th QUESTION WRONG!!!"...I was thinking I could tag onto the end of that..."Here's a hint...all of your questions will be...DO YOU LOVE HER???...there is no right answer," and then lunge out of the airplane.Any other ideas? :-)Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they do tell them that after you come off the hill you will untach them, fly around in front of them and do the video. You will then interview them on the way down. Then, when you reach 6,000 feet you will fly back to them, attach yourself back on and then deploy at 5,500 feet. Tell them that the last few seconds are the most important because you accidentally forgot to hook the last person back up before you deployed. Then ask them if they want video and see what they say.Blue Dreams,Nathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflir29 0 #4 June 14, 2002 Quotewhat I think would be stranger is to be attached to your g/f's ex while doing it.Sounds scary to me....."Here I come to save the BOOBIES!"
