This wonderful ringtone has been my trusted wake-up tune for almost 2 years now. So alluring that no skydiver on earth can stay in bed for more than 1 round of snooze. First thing it leads you to do is look up towards the sky!

Here is a little feature on my friend – Tim “the Cook” – videoman a la carte. I must have spent several hours in the air with this guy, as he is on the spot for almost every single tandem jump I’ve had in the past.

Hanging on! – the “no landing gear exit”

It is always exiting to see how long Tim can hang on to the wing strut while the pilot retracts the landing gear and I climb out with the passenger. I think the current record is about 35 seconds – with Tim just clinging to the strut. I guess hoping for a quick exit…? Or perhaps he is getting into a new fitness idea?

Great shots – capturing the moment

Tim definitively puts a lot of hard work into capturing the passengers emotions and documenting the actions. I’m always impressed by his great pictures. In my opinion every tandem passenger should choose to get Tim’s video AND stills – here is a collection of some a them:

Here’s Tim at “work”

I’ve made a few shots of Tim with my new Tonfly Canon 450D setup. When I get the chance to join Tim at “work” when he is filming a tandem with another tandem master I will update this post with some video too.
