andy2 0 #1 June 20, 2003 I'm honestly curious. It seems everybody at the DZ drinks beer, a gross exaggeration of the general public, from my experience. Whats the connection you think? From what I gather its the level of exertion that is placed upon the skydiver (youre out in the sun, sweating, hot, much like other sports), without a very high level of fitness required (unlike many sports). I guess thats why fat people can do OK skydiving, while they can't really be that great of a runner/swimmer/etc. You don't see that many people train all day swimming or running and then immediately after finishing grab a six pack and get drunk. One other angle I thought was the whole, "skydiving is so much more than a sport, its a lifestyle" thing you hear people say. Maybe drinking is just one more factor of "the lifestyle". What do you think? I'm pretty bored, and its raining. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

SpeedRacer 1 #5 June 20, 2003 You skydive, then you drink beer. It is simply the way of things, grasshopper. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy2 0 #6 June 20, 2003 oh ok! That last response was a perfect answer to Jtval's query. I want to know why this is the way of things? When I participate in sports generally I like to push myself physically, beer makes me feel like a slob. That said, I don't mind a cold beer now and again though --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
