Hi Joy,

I do a double jump each time the rope comes through. I don't do anything 
fancy. I jump on a hard surface so you get a little auditory feedback.

As for finding tandem pilots. It can be a challenge. If you want to write me

offlist where you live, I can let you know if I know of any programs. I try 
and connect with cycling clubs, YMCA's and then when I find a pilot I like 
to participate in group rides so that hopefully you can attract other 
potential pilots.

Hope this helps.
Lori
