SullyFlyer 0 #4 January 11, 2005 I don't think I'd be into doing a huge number in one day, but I did 8 packing and hiking for myself. I was pretty happy with that. I like a quote by Tom M. "It's not a competition, just an exhibition." If I tried to do a huge number in one day I think I'd have to be alone to know I was doing it because I wanted to and not to show off. ~ Fear is the thief of dreams...

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Gary_C 0 #20 January 12, 2005 No I have not made it to 26 in one day yet! Last year in Malaysia the most I did in one day was 22. I stopped there to save some energy for the next day when we were doing display jumps in front of one of the Sultans of Malaysia. I only managed to get in 15 that day before it got too windy. During the week long trip to Malaysia I did 85 jumps in 5 days of jumping. I did all packing myself. I don't recommend this to anyone as you really pay for it for many days afterwards feeling very stiff and sore. It also puts you off jumping (mainly the desire to pack) for a long time. Gary C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SwePercy 0 #21 January 13, 2005 So here is mine Sertainly not a record but must have made some Petrol company glad (Swedish Gas prices, brrrr). 23hrs. 3 jumps on 3 different A's (including 1 new object). Making a total of 800+ m of climbing. The tricky part consisted of a total of 870+ km worth of driving to get us there, between and back home.

This was in Norway in the winter time, and when we started jumping the temperature was -20 celsius. Fresh start. The climbing was indoors, but still a ladder. The combination of climbing and packing throughout the day left my mate with tendonitis in one of his arms, and my self had to go hand-held on the last jump as I wasn't confident I would be able to pull +17 at TF sounds funny too. Is using a packer considered cheating? How much time would one use from landing back up to exit? And finally: are night jumps possible during the summer months?
