Highest "rating" with lowest number of jumps?

Recommended Posts

I think it is interesting that there are posters here that have 0 jumps. I am all for them posting and enjoying in the fun that is DZ.com, but I don't know what they get out of the skydiving talk.

Ratio wise, I think I have Ivan beat. But I have a legitimate reason.



Actually, Chris, you were post-whoring here long before you ever made your first skydive if I remember right. Ivan spends FAR too much time abusing his Multi-Pass to actually skydive. Still there are far better (worse?) examples. For some time there was a girl on here who had only one tandem who was definitely in the top 25 in the post numbers. I won't mention her name.

I guess it's possible to have a serious interest in skydiving without actually wanting to do it yourself, or maybe without having the means to do it. And look at football - there are tons of people who like to talk about football who don't actually play it. ;) Ok, I guess football's a little different, but I can see that skydiving could quite easily turn into a spectator sport as well (and I would think it would be way more interesting to watch than football! IMHO)... :)

Agreed ... very good point.

3 tandems here & still haven't felt the need to pursue skydiving as a sport ... but as a job & for the people ... now there's a whole different story. Rigging/packing is what I love to do ... I love attention to detail ... I have a passion for things that fall from aircraft (not only people but cargo as well). I'd pack tandems all weekend long, every weekend, at Skydive Santa Barbara for the 6 mths I was there (0 mals & softest openings per the TMs) ... but only did 2 jumps right before I left (the last one was at night B|). Also before I left, repacked 5 reserves with the DZ's Rigger & plan to pursue my own civilian ticket. So while my jump numbers will never skyrocket I'll definitely still post & read & learn here. Thanks for the opportunity

And you would be wrong. I signed up here after I made two tandems and registered for AFF. Unfortunately, my AFF was cut short due to a shoulder injury the sudden death of my uncle, and a car accident 2 weeks later.

And I resent the post whoring remark. I have done nothing different than many others here. I atleast have the decency to hit the "donations" button periodically...probably more times than many others here.

Dang ... I'm 57th in terms of total number of posts and I have a 5.05 posts/jump ratio. :S



I such at this game. My Post Loading is a paltry 0.237:1.

(Ok. I admit it. I only chimed in 'cause I sorta like the phrase "Post Loading"... oh, and now I'm loaded at .239:1... for what it's worth...):)

Where can I find my numbers ... or did you do the math yourself? :)

YIKES! Can't help but think your speaking of me.



No, you're pretty new to the site. You haven't posted enough to make it into the top 25.
