chutem 0 #52 January 8, 2005 $10,000+ easy. Training for the wife and I in July. Used rig for me. ( still looking for her) 100+ jumps each. I'd almost have to vote $2000-10000 just for what I spent at the DZ.com holiday boogie. Should be cheaper this year, I hope. James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #56 January 28, 2005 I guess I broke about even. Bought 2 Mirages, 2 PD 126 R's, a 2nd hand Safire 119 + Reline, an S3, Pantz, tickets to the US, a pair of Neptunes, some dives in Eloy, a BMI course and 30 min in the tunnel + accomodation and car rental. About 440 dives for the year of which around 100 were fun jumps. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeak 17 #61 February 9, 2005 QuoteRefuse to calculate. I know where $400 of it went and I wish it were a lot moreWell I did 200 ish jumps last year and they cost about $32AUD each, plus Equinoxboogie, plus travel plus tunnel pluss 2 camera helmets plus camera plus accesories plus plus plus plus STUPID FRIGGIN QUESTION You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #62 February 9, 2005 Read my post again, and you'll see that your post makes no sense. Apart from "a few dives in Eloy" all other expenses were gear, travelling or course related. Besides - as a working skydiver, I can assure you that skydiving is not free, and those who paid me to teach them paid for a lot more than just the ride. tIt's the year of the Pig.

mdrejhon 8 #70 May 19, 2005 Lessee. CAD$ Two Tandems - $385 Freefall Progression (AFF/PFF-style) - $1200 Funjumps & Repeats Including Gear Rental - $285 Carpool Gas - $60 Including other dropzone costs, I spent over $2000 already in the last two months since I started. Ouch! This weekend is an Otter boogie weekend. If the weather is good, I may end up spending $500-$700 on funjumps and gear rentals. Fun! Then this summer....new altimeter...my first jumpsuit....perhaps my own rig....It'll all add up rather quick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
