whatever 0 #78 December 20, 2004 Quote6. Buy a base rig 7. Do 1-10 BASE jumps hey there, I'm not picking on you specifically, I just noticed quite a few people posted that they wanted to start BASE jumping in 2005... anyone considering trying even one BASE jump should have a look at the videoclips in this thread and read the thread too: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1379574#1379574 I started BASE jumping with 243 skydives (30 with a 252 Parafoil) and let me tell you that I now realise how ill-prepared I was at that point... (500 would be a sensible number) don't do what I did, even though I got away with it, do some more skydives first, learn to fly a big F111 7 Cell and learn to land it VERY accurately in varying wind conditions... BASE isn't going away and rushing into it only gets you to the scene of the accident sooner. now that I've said that, my goals for 2005 are: -learn to flock well in my S3 -do a 3 minute flight in my S3 (I can do 2:30) -get a 135 sq ft canopy -get canopy coaching -get my riggers ticket -get an instructors rating -start doing video for slots -reach 500 skydives (I'm on 414 now) -reach 200 BASE jumps (I'm on 87 now) hope you all reach your goals SAFELY (even if that means some won't happen in 2005) soon to be gone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judit 0 #81 December 20, 2004 1. Be safe 2. Do at least 332 jumps so i can make 1000 3. Participate in the Women's VWR in June 4. Participate in the World Record - that's more of a dream though i've got the invitation 5. Start FF coaching in Hungary 6. Buy a new rig If I can do all of these it will be an absolutely amazing year but even without the World Record I'll be very happy.

ladyskydiver 0 #82 December 20, 2004 QuoteQuote- Downsize to a 150 And I'm looking to upsize to a 170! Let me know, perhaps you'd like to take my Spectre up for a few jumps this spring, we can trade for a weekend or two sometime- I'm willing to switch canopies for a day to play and test it out. But, it's gotta be a noice day considering I'll want to do a full alti hop 'n' pop to play and see what the canopy will do. Oh...and other people have got me thinking about other things I want to do in 2005 (besides stay alive and not get injured ). - do a beach jump - do a helicopter jump (have ridden in one...next time is to jump) - do a balloon jumpLife is short!

skydivingwill 0 #91 December 21, 2004 Jump more, spend less and convince as many people as possible to pay me for it. Crap did so many firsts this year that fund breaking bank. I even messed up my ankle a few times and that didn't stop me. Some how I'll double next year. On the list: Mr Bill from a round paracommander Rigger Ratings AFF Ratings Video as many cool skydivers as possible. Peace all and good luck with goals!

scientist_chick 0 #98 December 22, 2004 For 2005 I'd like to be able to: -embrace skydiving more and not get so angry with myself everytime I do something wrong. -to realise that sometimes when people are telling you about how amazing their skydiving is I'd like to not just see that as bragging and try to congratulate people on their achievements. -I'd like to get the confidence to ask people especially instructors questions. -land on my feet -Be more open and willing to learn things rather than try to do things on my own!! -And try to have fun, it seems I have forgotten the reason why I did it in the first place!! -Buy a larger canopy. anyone got a spectre 170 they want to sell?
