when do they stop calling us newbies. is this like a frat. - soro. thing like we're every1s bitch/gopher for the 1st say 20 + jumps? if so i pray my soon 2b new found friends like cheap beer & wine. this could get rather expensive. when & after how many jumps do i get to have a bitch/gopher. does the torch change hands as soon as newer blood arrives? cuz i can bring friends 4 the second jump if thats the case. lol

Well you would need to do a jump before they even start to call you a newbie. Until then we actually call you a WHUFFO.

Once you have done a jump you might stop being called a newbie after your first 80 jumps or maybe your first year in the sport, whatever comes first.

I'm still a newbie. When I had 1 jump, I thought at 10 I wouldn't feel like a newbie any more. Then at 10, I thought 100 might be the magic number. At 100, I realize I didnt know shit, so maybe at 500 I wouldn't be a newbie any more. Now I'm wondering if maybe 1000 jumps would make me no longer a newbie, but given my track record, I'm thinking maybe I should just realize that no matter how long I'm in this sport and no matter what ratings I have, I'll always have far more to learn than I have already learned.

Yes you are a WHUFFO. And yes, i think it would be fair to say 80 jumps or 12 months before you are not looked at as a newbie anymore. Once you have a hundred jumps you will be looked at as a 100 jump wonder.

anytime you say the word 'first'.... you will be buying beer.

First jump out of a different model plane, first jump on a new rig, first cutaway, first jump at a different dz, first off dz landing, first bigway, first solo, first anything you buy. Same rule for us all.

To get off newbie status asap, just buy a round of beer every week - experienced jumpers will know your face soon enough.

But bring your friends anyway - that way you can bitch among each other about the skygods calling you newbies as well as gang up on the newbies when you become kygods yourselves Hint: To get off newbie status ASAP, prepare to buy a lot of beer.

Meh, don't worry about it. 3/4 of the people on this site haven't finished a student progression to a license or haven't jumped in over 6 months. So who cares about titles. Titles don't matter and lusting after one is pointless. Go to the DZ, jump, buy beer, hang out.

The opinions on that are strangely divided.

First, there's me saying "You'll drink whatever I'm buying and like it" and second there's everyone else asking for local brews, obscure stuff expensive beer, hard liquor or something called non-alcyhollic beaver-ages, whatever they are.

So far I have never had any problems, probably because we got stuff on draught.

oh of course porpois if you insist. too bad tho i was planning on making my 1st jump completely topless. You kno give the tandem instructor something a little more comfortable to hold onto during freefall. thank you ever so much for your concern for, geting a free nippleviewing. um i meant. my well being as far as avoiding heat stroke & sun poisioning you are a doll. that alone deserves a private message pic of the twins. huh? someday

[AggieDave 6]

It still counts. There is also no gold wing exceptions.

Buy beer, its good for you.

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

[Baksteen 84]

Nope - we ignorant skydivers will simply make you buy beer for your "first prem-ear jump wot e'er der hell dat iz", and again for your proper first.
