RastaRicanAir 0 #1 August 30, 2004 On behalf of the small but select group of lucky souls who crammed into the Montero last Saturday and headed out to jump the point on Destin beach: "Big Ups" to Spence and Roaming DZ www.roamingdz.com for setting up such a kick-ass weekend. Not only did I personally rack up too many beer vouchers to even list here, but I got to experience another one of those times where you realize no matter how great skydiving has been to you so far, there's still a whole sky-full of even cooler times you haven't had yet. I think among the highlights (other than the incredible view of course) had to be: getting cheers and airhorns from 200 bar patrons and boaters after every landing, having whuffos gush about how much we entertained them all day (next time we have GOT to put out a tip jar!), and of course hanging out afterward with the illlustrious members of the Eglin Yacht Club (a.k.a. the Cast of Cocoon 3). I've always wondered what wealthy WWII veterans and their 55-year-old old trophy wives drank while lounging on their 60' yachts. Now I know: $6-a-bottle Andre Spumante. In carefully counted plastic flutes. All thanks due to Chris for being a great ringmaster to our little circus (better put some aloe on that burn buddy), to Wendell for busting ass to get us in the air an hour after he said he had absolutely had to leave, and to Lurch the waiter and that helmet-haired "singer/guitarist" at McGuire's for providing us with endless amusement (at their expense) during dinner. We'll have to do it again soon. Of course, now that I've gone and screwed it up by making everyone else want to come we'll need two planes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgerra28 0 #2 August 31, 2004 Yes it was a great time and may i say you did a great job robbie. After seeing how much you biff, i was kinda worried. As i was the only one that ate sand you have me...And that was due to my lose teva's.. Spence is planning on a huge boogie in November down there. Weather will be much cooler cheaper hotels and better entertainment. Maybe we will find a hotel that excepts cash,,,lol All joking apart, Spence did another great job. Next time we should have a bigger plane with all the promoting we did. I know whitley turned down at least 10 tandems due to not enough time. thanks again Spence for introducing new jumpers to the Roaming DZ.....Also nice to see randy. Havent seen ya in a year. See ya all at The Farm in September Leehttp://www.skydivethefarm.com don't sweat the small stuff, in fact don't sweat at all,, you get smelly!!

junkyarddog 0 #3 August 31, 2004 I would just like to award the eat shit award to Shrek for his beautiful display of busting ass on the first beach jump because of his "sandals" (nice excuse). Robbie get the closest to the boat award missing by a couple of feet (Good job under that canopy by the way). Shrek also recieves the scaring the most people award with his low hook turn (It's not the jumpers that were scared it was the people below his fat ass). Spence...awesome swoops my friend, great boogie too. Chris...it was great jumping with you and I don't ever want to pack that rig again. Last but not least congrats to Kevin who bought his first pair of shorts this weekend. Catch you all in the moutains.

dbattman 0 #4 August 31, 2004 CHRIS!!! You didn't say a damn thing at Staesboro about this! I thought you were canceling the beach to do a 'Screw Charlie.' WTF, over! Edited: Whoops. I've got the email buried in my inbox. My bad. (bends over for an asskicking) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RastaRicanAir 0 #5 August 31, 2004 Gosh, that's funny. I was wearing Tevas, and I managed to stand up four in a row. In fact, they broke on the first one and I didn't even notice until the end of the end of the day. The sand must have been a different consistency ten feet away where you were landing. P.S. Thanks for scaring the silicone out of my co-worker and her three small children. I can only imagine the nightmares those little girls are having right now about Shrek falling from the sky and crushing them like bugs.OrFunV/LocoBoca Rodriguez/Sonic Grieco/Muff Brother #4411 -"and ladies....messin with Robbie is venturing into territory you cant even imagine!-cuz Robbie is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgerra28 0 #6 August 31, 2004 hey Dave i spoke to Chris he said he sent you an e-mail. said you replied something about masterbating to porn thats why you couldn't make it to the beach. I don't know. But i do know you missed a great day of jumping. I think he's planning on doing another one in november with a caravan. The best part was socializing with millionaires drinking 6 dollar champagne with plastic cupshttp://www.skydivethefarm.com don't sweat the small stuff, in fact don't sweat at all,, you get smelly!!

He only seems to tell me the good stuff. Sometimes he just can't admit to me when he busted ass. And I totally believe the whole "blame it onthe sandles bit" While you guys were hitting the beach scene, I was experiencing the dessert scene. It was my first time jumping in the famous Eloy AZ skydive. I tried my first sit fly with Our friend Tony filming. I have to say I wasn't that bad for a first timer. Eloy was a very big DZ and it was amazing watching all the Arizona Airspeen people kicking ass. Maybe I will start a special team..........hum maybe called the "super clown airspeed" or "amateur flying airspeed" or maybe even "flying felony airspeed team" ya never know. Wish I had been there for the beach, but culdn't pass up Eloy Good times----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey! Orfun #3 ~ Darla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, so I am definately not going to miss another one of those. Beach jumps in Destin whilst entertaining the rich, trying not to scare the children w/ their shovels and pails, and eating sand. Yep, I declare it so!!! Really glad everyone had fun!!I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgerra28 0 #12 August 31, 2004 yes but ask them who had the best swoop on the beach at sunset. I only busted ass 1 time first jump and you know those tevas you bought me are way to big. you've been a witness to me busting ass on them.lol.. I have to say the low timers kicked ass..I think Robbie forgot to mention that he almost was swimming with the sharks. He went to far past the beach showing off to the AJ's crowd. Then had to rear rise the rest of the way back. Talk about a deer in headlights.http://www.skydivethefarm.com don't sweat the small stuff, in fact don't sweat at all,, you get smelly!!

skynole 0 #17 August 31, 2004 "Screw you guys!" I wish I could have made it... Oh and Robby, the only reason you stood up all of your landings is because sand won't stain your white jumpsuit! (sorry dude, couldn't resist!) Congrats on your first beach jumps....now pay up! ...you too junkyarddog!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgerra28 0 #18 August 31, 2004 They said they paid up..They bought a f!@#ing 12 pack between them. Since when does a case of beer mean 12 bottles. Maybe we need to open a debate about this. A case my fellow young jumpers is 24. So get your asses back to the gas/liquor store and part with your deniro. Ok now thats off my chest..lol I will be buying 2 cases of beer up at the farm so if your the first 48 people, beer is on me...http://www.skydivethefarm.com don't sweat the small stuff, in fact don't sweat at all,, you get smelly!!

RastaRicanAir 0 #21 August 31, 2004 Since when does a case of beer mean 12 bottles. Quote First of all, as far as I'm concerned $6 Andre Spumante don't constitute champagne either. But if it's good enough for the millionaires... *** They said they paid up.. Furthermore, my child-scaring, elderly wife-swooping, SAND-EATING friend, I have never claimed to be paid up. In fact, between my low level of experience and my impeccable social etiquette I have resigned myself to the fact that I shall be in beer arrears for a long time to come, even despite having brought only premium and imported beer EVERY WEEKEND since I started in this damned sport. How many people do you know who've done that?! But if you guys want to get hung up on quantity instead of quality, I will have no problem switching from $12-12 packs of the good stuff to $8-20 packs of Busch Light. So long as you don't mind watching me down a nice bottle of Labatt's while you drink that p***.OrFunV/LocoBoca Rodriguez/Sonic Grieco/Muff Brother #4411 -"and ladies....messin with Robbie is venturing into territory you cant even imagine!-cuz Robbie is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgerra28 0 #23 August 31, 2004 see people 75 jumps and already an attitude. Whats gone wrong with the sport these days? I remember when i had so few jumps i kept my mouth shut and was happy to buy premium beer. I guess just because your a radio personality!!!!
