atsaubrey 0 #2 June 19, 2004 Wanna screw with instructors heads....ask them before they have the chance to ask you. I used to do that and you can get some funny looks from them."GOT LEAD?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hookitt 1 #3 June 19, 2004 QuoteWanna screw with instructors heads....ask them before they have the chance to ask you. It works too! I've been asked that a couple times. The first time I had a stupid look on my face for a moment, then smiled big, laughed and said "Yes I am, are you"? The next time I laughed and said.. Y"es I am!! but you have to go first." Caught me off guard each time.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkiD_PL8 0 #8 June 20, 2004 My first jump was yesterday and my instructor didn't ask that, he just waved so I would wave for the camera and then said "get your feet out and stop" I looked back and then he did the point and said "get all the way out" then I was dangling from the strut and he gave me the thumbs up and off I went.

rickjump1 0 #9 June 20, 2004 Actually, he probably said, "get out" and then he said, "go". I remember stepping off with my mouth wide open. No bugs though. It was a Cessna 170. Can't remember the model.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newsstand 0 #10 June 21, 2004 I only have 45 jumps but the first exit was 26 years ago and I didn't hear a thing. Standing on the wheel and hanging on the strut had all my attention. But when he smacked me on the ass and I let go it was very cool! "Truth is tough.

feuergnom 26 #12 June 21, 2004 first one was a tandem out of a skyvan. the instructor just said: we will go straight out of this door and you will not stop at the edge .... what i said? nothing. just thought: Noooooooooooooooooooooooo and out the door we went The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lowie 0 #13 June 21, 2004 For my AFF 1 the JM 1 just said "lets go". Saves them hearing the "no I'm not ready" reply I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
