how many skydives have you done

[jumpervali 2]

Very near 1600. Like I tell some of my students "trust me I do this all the time."
I know it's more than some, but less than alot.

Forget the Cypres for now, put the money toward staying current. Lack of currency is more likely to kill you then not having an AAD.

The Cypres will be the last thing I buy. I just think it's a really good thing to have, I'd kind of be freaked to go on my head w/o an AAD.
Staying current is definatly important. I make by doing 1 or 2 jumps every other weekend. Not just bullshit jumps but fun/educational jumps. ( Ex. canopy control, sit/belly/sit/belly transitions. )

124... I'd like to be at 2000, but I'm not... :)
124 x 18 dollars per jump equals : $2, 232.00
3,000 for my brand new rig and 1,600 for my first one equals : 4,600.00 bringing my total to : $8,832.00 post aff. If you add that in there : 1,231.00 my total goes up to : $10,063.00 ! Then, just for accuracy you've got to add in the 6 tandem skydives I purchased for friends and family during the first year trying to get everyone to try it for a grand total of : $10, 957.00 !!! I made my first skydive on March 5th of 2000 so in a year and a half I spent almost 11,000 dollars!!! Holy crap! Maybe I should just try and forget about that!!!

Try 50 AFF training jumps with an evaluator at $57 a pop just to get ready for AFF camp. That was in 1 week. But, I do get paid to jump as a result of it. The best year I've got was 361 jumps in 96. That was also the time I went from my A to my D, skipped the B & C. That was the cost of 2 jumps. Man I love this shit! Now I co-own a dropzone.

Have you guys noticed that when you tell whuffos how many jumps you have, they think you're insane and must be a pro when actually you are still a newbie?

Oh, I know, right Pammi? Heh...
Whuffo: (incredulously) You jump out of AIRPLANES? As in, more than once? How many times have you done it?
Me: Well, I have 60 jumps...
Whuffo: 60???????? NO WAY!!!
Me: (silent, trying to decide if I should nod smugly, or try to explain to him that I'm a low-timer sucky ground hog)

Diver,,Dont ever, EVER do that again!
Jumps are $19 each. Thats all the money related math you need to do.
When you add it all up, you just get depressed. Then, cuz youre depressed you have to go jump to get un-depressed. Then you think about MORE money you spent skydiving, and depressed again, have to jump again,,,ad nauseum.
See the cycle??!!
Just tell yourself,,jumps are less than $20! Thats CHEAP!
Whoo hoooo! Go JUMP!

WHAT??? I pay $20 per ticket! But then again I'd rather pay that extra Dollar to get something nice to jump (like our casa) then something like an over worked, under powered Cessna.... A rainy day at the DZ is better then a Sunny day at work

[cptnstratn 0]

Like everyone else, not enough! But, since you asked, 270 (still a newbie!). Hope to pass 300 before the end of the year. Woohoo!

BA HA HA HA HA! I pay $29 a jump at one of the dz's I frequent. Now THAT adds up, especially for a 3 cessna dz that only goes to 10,500! The other one, thankfully, is $80 for a 4 jump package. Tee

Oh....... 66 and I still don't have a license because I can't find anyone in north central florida that offers water training.........more than once every blue moon.......
I want it to do night jumps!!!!!!!!!

503. My first jump was July 18, 1999. Not too bad for only jumping six months a year. Now I have enough for my tandem rating. I just have to wait for my three year anniversary. I also have to get some clarification on the cutaway requirement. Do you think it counts if you cut away after the reserve was already out and fully inflated????
