efs4ever 3 #1 December 17, 2005 I made my 3000th freefall during the Eloy Boogie in 2002. This year I'll be making my 4000th freefall there. Here's a VIDEO of that jump. Maybe I'll do a balloon jump, but I already have a couple of those. (Not for over twenty years,though) Any ideas? I have 26 "static line" jumps to work off. Russell M.

I'm just sayin'. You're right, if you know better, you won't ever mention it and it'll never come back to haunt you. Always leave your log book at home or safely hidden somewhere while you're at the DZ... You mention you did the milestone but haven't been pied, it's a foregone conclusion what's coming to ya!

BIGUN 1,406 #17 December 18, 2005 I stand corrected. Section 8-2: Achievement Awards Contents: A. Achievement awards for jump experience B. Cumulative jumps and freefall time C. General requirements D. Presentation E. Expert Wings F. Freefall Badges A. Achievement awards for jump experience 1. These two types of freefall awards are intended to provide a special kind of recognition to those United States Parachute Association members who have accumulated significant levels of experience in both number of freefall skydives and amount of freefall time. 2. USPA proudly recognizes those members. B. Cumulative jumps and freefall time 1. Accumulated freefall jumps: a. Gold Expert Wings are awarded for 1,000 freefall skydives. b. Diamond Expert Wings are awarded for each multiple of 1,000 freefall skydives up to 10,000.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
