SpeedRacer 1 #27 August 6, 2001 Yeah Iflyme, I understand what you're saying (though I don't have kids). Not enough time or money, too much else going on in my life to skydive as much as I'd like. Now I'm taking MCSE classes in the evenings & have to study & take exams on weekends sometimes.Don't feel bad, Iflyme! Some of these maniacs can skydive every weekend because they live twenty minutes from the DZ and/or they live with their parents & don't have to pay rent/mortgages. I did my first jump two years ago, and I only have 60 jumps. I've been too fucking busy, and vice versa!Speed Racer"Come up to my lab,And see what's on the slab!"

freaksister2 0 #29 August 6, 2001 Pammi, you're full of shit! If you had 14 jumps you wouldn't be going to Quincy! LOL - as it is you have one more jump than I do and we are probably going to be the lowest jump numbers there except for the AFF students! hehe Tent #4 here we come!!Sis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiverDave 0 #30 August 7, 2001 248 for me as of yesterday...but no Quincy this year, too much going on. I'd like to make it next year. I've also heard that Long Prarie is out of this world. Anyone been?Cheers... Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #31 August 7, 2001 I now have a grand total of........ 72 jumps.I am inching along... It has been over a year.I have trouble paying $33 per jump. My rig and all the components should be in this week. Then my jumps will be $17 each. I suspect my jump numbers will start to rise!!!Blue skies,Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iflyme 0 #33 August 7, 2001 QuoteI did my first jump two years ago, and I only have 60 jumps.Ya, Speedy, I know what ya mean - it took me almost 3 years and 3 months to get to #100 ... but I guess if you're having fun, than that is what counts the most! I just read on another thread that Alex makes $16/hour ... I'd never ever be able to afford even 1 jump if I was makin' that -- but then Alex doesn't have the expenses I do... Since I got my B-locence, jumps are $10 cheaper, so that goes in the "plus" column! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyboy26 0 #34 August 7, 2001 161 -made in 4 years-and I was'nt a low jumper...But I've made them in '89 thru 93.. just think of a ride to '6000 in about 30-45 min and you'll know how lucky you are -lol -I think a baloon ride does'nt take that long this timesMan should fear not dying,man should fear Not Having Live At All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At 14 jumps I was still a really bad IAD student! Can you imagine?! LOL! I see on the WFFC forum the whuffo's are getting upset that they can't come party with us back in tent city..they have to be a guest of a skydiver to get back there now apparently. Bwahahaha!

SpeedRacer 1 #37 August 7, 2001 Has anyone noticed that April is now "freaksister2"? What's up with that? Has she been "born again"?? Or is she trying to escape her infamous past??? Hmmmmmm...Very mysterious....Speed Racer"Come up to my lab,And see what's on the slab!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #38 August 7, 2001 I have 61 jumps, made in 1 1/2 years, and with a 7 month break in there.

Dar 0 #39 August 7, 2001 Hey sis,I'm sooooo glad to be back among the cool people. I am so sick of talking to whuffos!!! (and it seems like every damn person I know is a whuffo!!!) I had to do a recurrency jump (Level 3 AGAIN) last weekend, now that I finally have $$ to skydive again. Best thing about the jump...... no PLF.... actually stood it up. Doing Level 4 this weekend... just trying to find a good dz in this crappy state (Minnesota).Blues!Dar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
