katiebear21 0 #1 November 28, 2006 Just a thought. Sometimes it amazes me now that I live at a dropzone and I see guys jumping their asses off everyday that they're not making as many as I think in a year. Then, I see guys I knew years ago with a few hundred jumps and now they're in their thousands! Did I really miss that much action?! I'm a weekend jumper and have a full time job so I only crank out about 200 jumps a year. Now that I'm living at a DZ, I'm hoping to double that amount.

CanuckInUSA 0 #4 November 28, 2006 No ... I've kind of used DZ.COM as an informal log book as my paper log books aren't always up-to-date. So when it says I've made 1555 skydives, know that I have made 1555 skydives. But to each their own.

seejanefall 0 #5 November 28, 2006 Nope. I earned each & every jump I have, I'd feel like a fraud if I were to claim anything other than what I've actually done. _____________ PMS #394 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdctlc 0 #7 November 28, 2006 Kinda silly to do it. If you claim to have a certian number and then jump poorly, yu might be able to get away with it for a few days as saying yor having a bad day but after some time the lack of skills will just show up...

At 900 jumps, you get a lot of cool slots but no one expects too much from you. With more than a thousand, they make you organize and go base and crap.
