JaapSuter 0 #2 July 27, 2005 Ha, funny that. I just crafted up a similar post earlier today but decided not to post it after all. I would really like to see ratios. Number of jumps versus number of objects versus number of objects opened. 57 jumps (30ish potato), 12 objects, 5 opened by myself. Edited to add a momentary lapse of honesty; 3 jumps on which I relied on an above average amount of luck, went beyond what my skillset at that time should have allowed, and in hindsight realized I had stepped beyond my risk-comfort level. Granted, that's just from my point of view. There are others that see my luck-jump number in the high fifties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iXic 0 #3 July 27, 2005 44 jumps, 10 objects (3S, 1B, 6E), none opened by my-self (no brag...I'm only a base-baby) and my favourites are "E"s! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #5 July 27, 2005 Hmmm. Interesting. If you are one of the folks who responded "201+", I'd love to hear from you. Can you at least PM me, if you don't want to respond in the thread?

LouYoung 0 #12 July 27, 2005 For what it's worth, I didn't even get the jump on the arrest. Remember the "never go to jail with a packed rig" saying? Well, I don't think it really sinks in until you've gone to jail with a packed rig. So really, it's two non-legal attempts, one successful. (And the object strike was pretty minor, though could have been catastrophic. The canopy hit the wall, ripped a hole in it, but my body never made contact.)

whatever 0 #15 July 27, 2005 As of Saturday, 23 July 2005: Type Jumps Number of From Objects B 3 3 A 65 7 S 66 3 E 5 3 O 3 2 total 142 18 slider off jumps: around 120 slider up jumps: around 22 longest delay taken: just over 5 seconds the really interesting thing is that my most recent 2 jumps have both been from underhung objects (350ft freestanding A and a 330ft freestanding Power Pylon) and both times I had 180s… other than some slider up 180s off the TBPB during my first 63 jumps, these are the first true 180s I’ve had and they had to happen on the most challenging objects that I jump… Don’t think I would’ve dealt with them all this well 100 jumps ago… just something to consider when you're out there rolling those dice... cya sam soon to be gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outrager 6 #16 July 27, 2005 QuoteI'd also be curious if folks want to volunteer their total number of jumps along with total number of objects. Wait a second... first we've got to define what is a different object Then we've got to define what is a BASE jump. Just had this discussion with Aussies in Switzerland after jumping a less common exit in a valley, and i wish you luck! We ended up concluding that a base jump is not a base jump and stopped right there I think i did 160some object and 1090some jump today, by a relatively conservative definition. bsbd! Yuri.
