Skydiving Goals for 2008

[aardvarkeater 0]

I realize the last thread along this line was created by an unwelcome troll so I figured I'd try to get a real one going this time.

What are your skydiving goals in 2008? More jumps? New equipment? New disciplines? Improving current skills?

I'll start:

1. Get 250 jumps
2. Get my C license
3. Start flying camera
4. Try wingsuit flying
5. Get into freeflying
6. Make more friends in the sport.
7. Attend more boogies.
8. Promote the sport however I can

More jumps than 07. I was so busy last yr. that I barely had time to turn around. Another night jump would be cool. Missed Lost Prairie Boogie in 07 so that is definatly a must. Geez, I'm only 200 miles away. Bottom Line, more jumps.

I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

My goal is simple:

Live another year and have fun doing it.

You're not being a very good troll, are you?

My Goals for 08

-400 jumps this season (I did over 350 this year).
-Fly camera for tandems, study hard.
-Work on more bigway belly stuff.
-Perfect my head up flying before moving to head down.
-Get my coach rating and help students.
-Get better on my 132 and improve in my high performance landings.

I hope that getting the chance to do some work jumps on the weekends will help me reach some of my other goals.

1. Be alive on January 1, 2009.

2. Have no titanium and no more scars than I have now on January 1, 2009.

Everything else is gravy.

To jump more in 2008 than I jumped in 2007.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

[Gawain 0]

This year was full of accomplishments for me. For 2008 I aim to:

- Get my FAA Rigger Cert
- Begin flying camera
- Surpass 1000 jumps

I think all are within reach in 2008.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

5. Get Jules off AFF and coach jumps so we can jump together

Yeah, thanks for sharing the love Carl.

Guess I'll just sell my gear to Jewels so she can jump when she gets done with AFF.


Aren't I pretty when I whine?

[GogglesnTeeth 6]

Need to jump more.... end of skydiving goals!

Only a fist full of jumps this year. Barely current! That sucks!!!!

Hahaha i'm not worried about you jumping...you just need to get back out to the dropzone to DO SO...

It's her we have to coax to get her AFF and coach jumps done with first...

I know you and I will be hanging off the skyvan in Moab next year

Puttin' some stank on it.

[johan420 0]

keep my B-license , beside of that...find me a new dropzone

[elias123 0]

Same as last year.

Get over a 100 jumps.
Do 2ways with a new jumper I met over the internet.
Jump with trackingpants (if enough experience aquired during summer)
Stop being such a wuss, suck it up, and go to the DZ, even if I don't have anyone to talk to.
Get more expierience so I can jump at a smaller DZ that is only 10 kms from my house so I don't have to take the shitty train anymore for 100s of kilometers to be able to jump at a DZ with a friggin" huge landingarea.

Guess that's it for now.
