Buying beer for "firsts" an American thing?
bigway replied to jumpingjimmy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Yeah, hinton has an excellent social scene in summer and all the instructors and staff there are very helpful people. You should come along and enjoy the free camping. nights can get pretty heavy. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
Buying beer for "firsts" an American thing?
bigway replied to jumpingjimmy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have never seen anyone bring a crate in at Hinton either. I think you will find cause if the dropzone has their own bar it is kind of rude to bring your own alcohol on to their premises. At hinton you just put a note over the bar and mark down on paper how many beers are in the kitty and then people cross a line off when they take a beer. So maybe they do this at langar as well? .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
I am sure you have noticed that laws change with new generations in all things in life. When you owe beer, you should be putting a jump ticket down at the bar. One jump ticket at our bar will get you around 14 beers. There is always more than one shout on a saturday to make sure everyone gets one. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

sorry Mark, i am not in genre but i got to say, my risk is riding my bike to the dropzone and then to the pub in brackley. Now you live in brackley, so the dropzone is 5 minutes from your home. You have no risk. Instead of the kids asking where daddy is and mum saying 'down the road at the pub' she could say ' across the road at the airfiedl' Dude, you live near a dropzone, get there! If you hurt yourself someone can drop you off home on the way to the pub .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Buying beer for "firsts" an American thing?
bigway replied to jumpingjimmy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
You dont have to but then again that day you cant afford to jump i doubt with that attitude that anyone will shout you a jump. It is about celebration of many different things, celebrating being alive, passing, landing safely if you land off etc... It is a great tradition that has made skydiving the social sport it is. You are not obliged to nut when you see someone shout, if you dont think you should have to, dont take part in their shout. If you dont drink beer, buy a pizza or something. It is an excellent tradition and makes the end of the day alot of fun. With buying beer, what goes around comes around. Guaranteed. Good stuff for passing AFF... you owe beer! .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

It is a tradition at Hinton, tradition in new zealand as well. So no, it is not just an american thing. Not trying to offend you but alot of students dont buy beer because they have not really gotten to know anybody yet to where they can call you out on a beer shout. This however changes very quickly. It is a shame that students have a hard time fitting in straight away but i have found that students ask alot of questions that people do not feel comfortable answering as they dont want to tell you different from your instructors. So in one way it can be socially wrong but in another way this could save lives. Trust me, you land off the dz you will be buying beer, if nobody calls you out act on your own and put a shout in. Next time somebody puts a shout in, go up and say that you owe one for passing aff or getting a license and then people will notice that. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

89 days is a long time to wait. After the Eloy boogie i have not jumped cause of the cold here in the uk, the weather is better now but for some reason i find myself waiting for a trip to the states before i jump again. Anyone tell me any good boogies before and after the WFFC. Please make these 89 days hurry the f**k up!. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
Good luck, out of curiosity, how do you have 11 jumps? have you done a fair few tandems before AFF? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Static line sucks dude. Get into AFF and have some control over everything. The only things that should do static line are little action toys. Enjoy, dont be scared, skydiving is easy! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I can promise you this is not the case at all. It is pretty much how you imagine it would happen. It is too shit of a movie to be sensationalized. The whole movie is about people on a plane voting but the main draw out of this movie is that they make sure over the hour and half the movie goes for that they cleveland center get to say the tape recordings that have come out word for word and it is drawn out of an hour and a half of film. In my opinion the film is exactly as the media portrayed it, and then for the ending.......SPOILER ALERT......... .....SPOILER ALERT......... there is a big hole in the ground where the plane has crashed and they can not find the plane as it is not in the hole and not found in the woods....just a little bit of debris here and there. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
