Douva 0 #76 January 18, 2005 QuoteThat's why I posted the official beer rules at my DZ. Post them here so the rest of us can see them. I personally think the "beer rules" should be included in the first jump course--That way you avoid ambiguity from the start.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #77 January 18, 2005 Here it is from Wendy's Boxofclue site. Quote BEER RULES 1. An unwritten law, one as immutable and irrefutable as gravity and backed by history, states that skydivers enjoy the drinking of beer almost as much as flight itself. 2. A manifestation of this fact is the tradition of the buying by an individual skydiver a case of beer (that being twenty-four cans or bottles holding twelve or more ounces of beer, ale, or some similar such substance) for his or her fellow jumpers to celebrate the accomplishment of a particular feat or milestone in one's jump career. 3. It is generally recognized that the buying and drinking of such beer enhances that common bond shared by skydivers and contributes greatly to the body of knowledge concerning parachuting and its related activities. 4. It is a sad fact that some skydivers are ignorant of what constitutes a significant achievement (usually and henceforth referred to as a "first"). Equally sad is the fact that some unscrupulously thirsty jumpers will shamelessly try to "weasel" a case of beer out of a jumper for an inauspicious event. 5. Recognizing this, the following happenings are to be regarded as suitable occasions for buying beer. This list is not to be construed as exhaustive. 6. First jump (It is not required of students. They are simply encouraged to participate). 7. If more than one first is accomplished on a single jump, only one case of beer is required. 8. Participation is voluntary. If a skydiver chooses not to participate by buying, neither shall the skydiver enjoy the fruits of the accomplishments of others. 9. Non-drinkers may buy sodas and buyers may make up any part or whole of their purchase in soda for the enjoyment of those non-drinkers. 10. It is generally recognized that using a reserve parachute for the purpose of saving one's worthless, non-packing self from a gory death requires him to buy the saving rigger dinner or the bottle of liquor of his choice. 11. These articles are ironclad and binding. For the price of an additional six-pack, a sniveling skydiver may enlist the services of an S & TA to represent him or her in a hearing where the committee will rule against that skydiver a second time. * Completing the student course of instruction * First four way * First eight way * First CRW * First time in the peas * First night jump * First kiss pass * First competition * First water jump * First naked jump * First jump on your own pack job * First dead center (measured by a judge or electronic scoring pad on a three or five cm disc) * First jump on a new main or new rig (purchased, not borrowed) * Any license, award, rating, or badge * Getting your name or photo in "Parachutist" Magazine * Gross safety violations not resulting in serious injury or death * Any jump ending in "00" * First cutaway/reserve ride * First jump from an aircraft not normally used at home drop zone * First jump at a new drop zone * First demo jump * First save (you riggers thought you were getting off easy) * Vomiting in the airplane or on another skydiver * First round canopy jump (Geez, used to be the other way around) * First broken bone * First camera jump --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

crozby 0 #78 January 18, 2005 QuoteIt's funny, a lot of the things I hate the most about skydiving are also the things I love. In a similar category I put movies featuring skydiving. I hate them, but i can't help grinning because they are SO bad. I can't remember the names of the films, but in one Charlie Sheen goes up for a tandem jump and gets dropped out of a trapdoor in the plane and then his Tandem Instructor - a lady - waits a (very long time) then jumps out, swoops down and does if i remember right a Mr. Bill? And another film Patric 'Dirty Dancing' Swazie and a group of mates leap out of a plane and have a conversation for several minutes in freefall. WTF?

happythoughts 0 #79 January 18, 2005 QuoteNicely put, that goes for which disciplines (that's plural on purpose) you choose to do, or whether you like to dink around or full-out train serious. It's real simple, if 2 people are so different that they don't have fun jumping with each other, then they should just not jump together. And then do this without belittling the other's (attitude, discipline, planning, jumping). That is exactly what I meant. I can't understand the negativity that goes around sometimes. It happens in a lot of aspects of life. With a little thought, maybe it wouldn't happen is skydiving as much.

You're confusing Terminal Velocity and Drop Zone. Charlie Sheen plays the rebel without a clue skydiving instructor forced to help a beautiful ex-KGB agent foil a plot by the Russian mafia in Terminal Velocity. Wesley Snipes gets dropped out of the bomb bay doors of a Porter and swooped by his TM in Drop Zone, where he plays a federal agent pursuing a gang of skydiving smugglers engaged in a terrorist plot through the seedy underbelly of the skydiving world. Both of these films are passable "B" action films. Point Break is actually a pretty decent flick. Cutaway is unwatchable. If you dislike skydiving movies because they're inaccurate and unrealistic, that's just a sad fact of filmmaking--People hate movies about their "thing."
