Average Jumps every months

[elfanie 0]

So I sit here with 33 jumps after 3 months of jumping..and it made me wonder..

I know that I haven't jumped EVERY weekend...and some weekends I only got 2-3 jumps in TOTAL all weekend...
and I know that some people don't jump every weekend, and some people do many many jumps a day and jump 7 days a week...

If you look back...how many jumps do you do in an AVERAGE month. (go ahead and look back even a year or so and average it out)

Being poor sucks, I wish i could jump more, i need a job.

well.. i've jumped like 8 times in 2 months, but thats all AFF, its so expensive. like 1,100 bucks worth. so once i get my A license i'm sure i'll be jumping like 20 times a month or whatever lol

Shorten the season for the people up north (8 months if we are really luckly... most likely only 6 months), and you probally don't want to see their average jump per month numbers. If you devide mine out over the entire year its still about 20 a month. Figure it out for the 6 months its truely jumpable (May-October) and its over 40 a month.

248 jumps since April 4th of this year... and only 9 jumps since Halloween.

*nods* true true....

Average jumps per month that you actually are able to jump (if you are unable to jump certain months due to weather conditions).

being grounded because of finances does not count.

Average since i started jumping is 2.5 per month. Average last summer was more like 30. Average over the last month, 0.

A good year for me: 25-30 per month
This year: maybe 15-20 per jumpable month

It does, too!! Not like I wouldn't have made 20 jumps on July 4th weekend this year, if I could have, but I'm a just a filthy working joe, and the tandems just weren't there to pay me. Still, even if I'm not jumping, I'll remain at the DZ in order to drink beer and find fault with all the others who are still jumping. That should count for something, because beer, boobies, and fire are all part of skydiving.

I was renting gear and getting coach jumps for my license, so that was expensive. I still tried to jump as much as possible considering the weather went to sh*t towards the end of the season. But yeah, I tried to jump as much as possible, though I am draining my savings dry...

I don't do much jumping in the winter. Most times I'm done by the end of October, and don't start up again till March. This year I made 183 skydives between March and October. What helps me with the numbers is that I travel and I'm a LO at the WFFC and make between 7-10 jumps a day during the ten day boogie.
Please don't be discouraged by the low numbers you are making right now. When I first started out, I was lucky to make six jumps a month. Just make the jumps worth it. Jump with people that are going to teach you and you can learn something from them.

No doubt Phreezone. I got 31 jumps in from 10/5 to 11/22 and averaged 5-6 jumps a weekend. Since 11/22 I ain't jumped once. Gonna call AerOhio to see if my rig is ready so I can jump SOMEWHERE this weekend.

Depends....I have not jumped much since the Nationals.

When training its around 30 jumps mth AVG.
Most is 160 in one mth. So far Dec I have not jumped once.

I have averaged about 300 a year for 10 years.

Average jumps per month over almost 14 years of jumping - 5.88

That includes the 15 month period in which I made one skydive due to injury.

[kansasskydiver 0]

well i make about 250 a year, so 20 a month is about average, but it depends on the time of year. i made 21 jumps one weekend. so it all averages out with the sucky cold months here

I've probably been maintaining 6-10 per month, but don't know how long money, or lack of, will allow that pace to continue!

Well, since I only have Fridays to jump (officially ), I average about 8-10 per month depending on how many I can get in during that day...

I do take off mid-week from work if the skies are clear now that winter is taking many of my Fridays away. I jumped 4 days in a row a couple weeks ago...that's just unreal for me!!
During the summer, I'll have my own gear so I won't have to wait on availability, and I'll have a little more flexibility...so I'll probably get closer to 16-25 per month I'm thinkin'...instead of the 10 or so I get now.
