My first kiss pass. When I can get back up there.

If you're lucky, it will be with me!

Is it hard to keep a USPA D license? Just send in your money each year and don't cause too much trouble. Also do a jump every 180 days if you want to stay current.

[Meux 0]

Make more jumps in 08 than I made in 07 (211)

Get the D

Don't get axed from any big ways (Heck, I'm thrilled just to get invited)

Get more tunnel time in 08 than 07 (90 minutes)

Nice mix of coaching and learning.

Add a rig (anybody selling a nice complete rig with a 190 main?)

Get some more birdman flying

Make more friends, and not lose any friends.

Keep everything in healthy perspective

Win the lottery and marry a rich girl

How's yours doing?

My Skydiving Goals for 2008

at least 300 jumps for the year.

Make most of them team training jumps

do better at Nationals then last year.

be on the next texas state freefly record again

overall just improve my freefly skills

get more tunnel time.

[sriddy 0]

Get my A

Get my own gear

Get my B

Get some RW and FF experience and decide if I want to concentrate on one of those. (Not smart enough to know yet)

Most important: FAIL to break myself or anyone else.

[ZeG 0]

Get out of student status

Get my A license.

Then get my own gear or the B license. For whatever I have money first

[ACMESkydiver 0]

1. NOT to jump from an airplane in 2008. -It worked for 2007!
2. Be fit & healthy enough by the end of 2008 to not have to use that as the reason for accomplishing #1

~Jaye
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

[sonofsimp 0]

1. Don't die
2. Don't break anything
3. Don't get fired

If I accomplish these, I can easily accomplish my jump number, travel, and free-flying goals.

[OrangeJumper 0]

To jump more in 2008. As long as I make one jump, I got that covered

The Original Cabana Boy!

[Bolas 5]

Now that I'm only about 2 hours from the biggest tunnel in the world, I think I'll try it.
Goal: Be as good a flyer as most people with half my jumps but will settle for not being outflown by jumpers on student status.

Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

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.

Bump....

Hey Max, I know you made the first goal, how did the rest go?

Have a great 09 buddy!

Onward and Upward!

[SStewart 13]

Getingt my A license, buying gear and meeting some people from DZ.com
Getting to a bogie would be cool, too
Don't want much, do I?

Bump....

Hey Pat, it looks to me like you did it all!

Great jumping with you and have a great 09!

Onward and Upward!

1. Be alive on January 1, 2009.

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

3. It'd be nice if all of my friends can say the same thing on January 1, 2009.

Still have 24 hours to go, but close enough.

1. I'm still alive!

2. Still have no titanium and I added no scars.

3. Most of y friends can say the same thing.

Gravy - Finally earned the AFFI rating I've wanted since 1990.
