ernokaikkonen 0 #1 June 28, 2005 "Turn on the beer light!" Everybody knows what that means. But, what does the beer light look like on your DZ? Or is it just an "abstract" beer light; not really there, but you know when it's turned on? This is the brand new beer light at "Skydive Blue Side Up" on Texel.

ACMESkydiver 0 #4 June 28, 2005 No physical light that I know of (haven't been there in a few months...) It was just asking the DZO "Is the beer light on yet?!" ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdctlc 0 #8 June 29, 2005 Jaye, There is now an official Beer Light at Blue Skies. You should stop by, in fact anybody in the Seattle area should stop by... Sure, you can go "it is across the sound" whine whine whine but hell there is a beer light and you can get about as many jumps as you want in before the beer light turns on.... and you know when jumping is done by the Beer Light... Damnit its a Beer Light, I just dont know how people got along w/o these things......I was confused before but now teh time to drink is clear.. Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

cvfd1399 0 #11 June 29, 2005 I thought about that the other day. You could then spray paint over the letters and then peel the stickers off and you have a beer light lens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #12 June 29, 2005 Quote What doe a beer light look like? I need to take a picture of the one I made for my DZ. Its serious redneck. Took a 3.5'x2.5' piece of diamond plate sheetmetal and torched out the shape of a beer mug, then I torched out the word "BEER" in it as well as the lines on the bottom of the mug for the mug's shape and the mug's handle. I put a light on the bottom behind it so it lights up from behind. Thus it is a straight up "beer light" in the truest of redneck meanings.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Designer 0 #14 June 29, 2005 My beer light depends on if it's a boogie or not?During a boogie if it isn't quite last load time I've been known to take a sip a load early to calm my nerves from a day packing.My Customers trust my judgment.If I say I'm done,I'm done.I'm ususally "Cooked" at that point!(lol)Regular packing days I can handle and wait until the last load takes off!
