You should be proud of yourself. Not many newbies get a flame going on a thread.



Especially after deleting the original post! :o



In fact I think this is probably a record:

A flaming, newbie, deleted thread... I don't think I've seen another like it.

If its a FIRST, it means :D

ok what makes it get a flame



Keith posts on it. ;)

Just kidding... it has to do with the number of views/replies within a certain time period.

Holy crap! You are new.

Anytime you accomplish something significant for the first time, you OWE beer to everyone else.

First solo
First cutaway
First rig


We kinda take some license with the rules...

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

what i don't understand by the beer icon



Surely, you jest...

If you,ve been jumping for any lenght of time you must be familiar with the time honoured tradition of buying :D when you do a first.

It is in fact documented here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=81

i don't drink



In the real world, on a real DZ, with real DZ beer rules, it's generally accepted that if you don't drink, a case of soft drinks is a viable substitute. True, beer is generally MORE appreciated, but there's nothing wrong with bringing Mt. Dew instead. Unless you drink beer.

Just make sure they're brought out in a cooler and during the jumping day (as opposed to beer, which should only come out after the "beer light" [which may or may not be an actual light ... often they are just figurative] is on) for the enjoyment and hydration of your new friends at the DZ.

How many skydives do you have?

ROFLMAO.

Let me get this straight. You picked a random website, which happens to be made up almost exclusively of skydivers, and you ask a question about DSL? Then you delete your post, get the thread flaming (with Kieth's) help, get a spanking by Skymama, while actually getting some good information thrown in the thread somewhere?

Priceless.

Ah. Well that 'splains it...

Just think - learn everything you can here, and then go in as the most well-informed first-time jumper your JM has ever seen! That'd be cool. B|
