AggieDave 6 #2 November 19, 2003 Basically, there are the Beer Rules. If you do a first in skydiving, you owe a case of beer (18 does NOT equal a case, 24 equals a case). I'm sure that someone will post the link to the "official" beer rules.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

WrongWay 0 #4 November 19, 2003 Quote I'm sure that someone will post the link to the "official" beer rules. Wait a minute, there's an official list of skydiving's beer rules?? Dude, I always thought they were passed down orally (no you dirty pervert) by the great skydiving elders, sent to them through the prophets by the great SkyGods above.

kelel01 1 #5 November 19, 2003 You also have to buy beer if you do something stupid-- landing off the DZ, landing on tarmac . . . at least at my DZ. Should I get a new home, or is this standard? Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrogNog 1 #11 November 19, 2003 Quotehttp://crw.boxofclue.com/skydive/beer_rules.html The rules as handed down from the No Cheap Beer Society. The beer rules appear to be remiss on how many cases a keg counts for. Does anybody know this? Does one simply work out the volume of (usable - we're in aviation here) beer in a keg and just divide by 16 oz (or whatever a bottle is)? -=-=-=-=- Pull.

LivingInClip 0 #13 November 20, 2003 The offical Beer list does not mention first tandem jump - is a case of beer warranted on your first tandem jump - if you plan on doin' a tandem then starting S/L course? Ah, the mind boggling questions! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagny 0 #15 November 20, 2003 Quote(18 does NOT equal a case, 24 equals a case). Wow...if I bought a full case of beer at my dz, it would cost me $60. Last time, I put down $30...it was the best I could do! I like what my instructor told me just before I did my first hop n' pop. I'm nervous and he asks me what the most important thing to remember is. I start rattling off things...pin check, check handles, arch, get stable, pull, land....he says, "no....the most important thing to remember is that I drink Beck's!" Made me feel a lot better about the entire jump!Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawndiver 0 #16 November 20, 2003 $60 a case? That must be some damn good beer!! You gotta microbrewery out there at your dz? Now if you want to buy top shelf, that's always fine, and much appreciated! But a few years ago after a speed star comp we did an experiment. Six pack of Loenbrau from full to gone: 1 minute 17 seconds. Six pack of white generic BEER cans: 1 minute, 44 seconds. No complaints received!

catfishhunter 2 #25 November 20, 2003 The rules also make an exception for those of us that don't drink ( in recovery ). You may purchase the beverage of your choice. I supply the DZ with Root Beer floats and/or Non-Alchoholic (Sharps,O'Douls,ST. Paulie NA etc ) for those of us that still like a cold beer but have no desire to lose our clean time MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
