My 24yr old did a tandem jump when she was 19. She loved it...

Last year, when I got back into jumping, after I made a jump, she put my wife on notice that when she turned 18, she was GOING to make a Tandem Jump!!

Well, she turned 18 last week and if the Sky Gods allow it, I'll follow the Tandem and Videoagrapher out and hopefully some good pics and vids will result!!

Happy Birthday! My daughter also will turn 18 this July, and also wants to try it. Maybe we should get them all together for a Birthday jump!

I've got 3 sons who weren't to crazy about jumping and a daughter who has always wanted too try when she was younger........ I never free-falled but I'm sorry now I didn't let her try...... What's with these "girls" are they the only ones with cajoles?......

Nope - used car salesmen and real estate brokers use it in spades.
