Funny Skydiving Hats

Skydivers have a vocabulary that sounds like a code, and it is a proud one. BLUE SKIES is both the greeting and the farewell. A newly licensed jumper earns the A license, the USPA stamp, and the tradition is a stamp on the forehead. Pass the invisible beer line and you owe everyone on the dropzone a beer after the last load has landed; firsts and milestones mean beer fines too. The usual caption stat is 10,000 feet and 120 mph. The oldest joke in the sport asks what the hardest thing about skydiving is, and it turns up in a rec.skydiving post from February 23, 1998. The answer is the ground. "You don't need a parachute to go skydiving, you only need a parachute to go skydiving twice" is on every funny-quotes page, and "Skydiving: Good to the last drop" has been printed on posters, T-shirts and bumper stickers. These funny skydiving hats are for licensed jumpers, drop zone regulars and the people who buy them gifts. SKYDIVER and BLUE SKIES are the badges. The sentence designs cover the debt of a case of beer, falling being easy and landing being a skill, 120 mph as a resting speed, the A-license, the last drop and a fall pun. The parachute-twice classic and the beer line each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one to the drop zone, or give one to the jumper who already owes the beer.
