Congrats avgjoe - 100 saves!

Recommended Posts

It was Darling Nicky's 1661st jump when his Velo spun up on him Sunday morning. It was his first ever chop (and he'd better pay his beer for this first!).

But more importantly (to some of us anyway), it was his rigger's 100th save.

Congrats, Keith! :D

Yes dear, I know you hate it when I do stuff like this. Which is, of course, why I did it. :ph34r::ph34r:

Kieth,

Congrats buddy, I think this type of [Beer] event should be the type where you get yours for free!! I'll see you on Saturday and what type of case would you like?



Actually, when it comes to saves by the rigger, the alcohol of choice is usually a bottle of very good whiskey or brandy or something similar. ;)

It was my rigger's fault (a rigging error) that made me chop my one and only time. Good thing he knew what he was doing with my reserve (he's a CRW dog). On the plus side I got a free pack job and reserve handle out of the deal. Was a shame the first jump on my new canopy and it had to burn in still in the bag.

I bought my rigger their bottle of choice when my reserve was packed for the first time three years ago(figured it was better to have a bottle on credit :P). Two years later I needed silver and bought another bottle for saving my ass on my first chop.

Knowing Kieth if I bring him a case of beer for him he would share it with the rest of us and we could celebrate this milestone with him, as for buying him another bottle I will get that too! I know his preferred bottle.
