lippy 918 #3 November 19, 2002 Quote Was it in the plane or during freefall If it's the one I think he's talking about it's in freefall. 2 guys did a PFF-style exit with the guy on his 2000th, and he handed out beer to people who flew in to receive. It's some pretty sweet video.I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that is the one I am thinking about, it has Jim V holding a buck as a tip. What a hoot! Who would think of that on the plane? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weid14 0 #5 November 19, 2002 they (they as in whomever) have done that more than once IIRC.... something about a sunset tradition, fly up wihta buck, get a beer for the canopy ride Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #6 November 19, 2002 Oh yeah... I remember now. I remember seeing a picture in Skydiving Mag. Aren't they wearing fullface helmets though? I hope he includes a straw. My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgross 1 #7 November 19, 2002 Yes, it was in FF. And pretty cool. AS far as that alcohol and jumping don't mix.... Well, i don't know, but this is my guess. It was their last load of the day, and they drank it once open. I don't care how much of a light weight drinker you are, 1 beer at 3Kft on your last jump, won't have time to impare your judgement. Just my opinion. Would I do it? Maybe, but only if I wasn't jumping again, and I wouldn't do it at atli. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take 2 with ya, and do a 13,500 sunset jump n dump. 2 is just about right to still set up a nice swoop, if you are so inclined. Really, I have found nothing more relaxing than the peace, calm, quiet of a high altitude canopy ride, combined with the sunset and a frosty cold one.It's your life, live it!
