skydiverek 63 #1 April 8, 2005 Who did most jumps in a single calendar year (OR during 365 consecutive days). I heard about Airspeed making 1,200/year. Adrian Nicholas made 2,500 jumps in a single year: "How many jumps did you make last year Adrian? I was lucky, it was a good year. More than two and a half thousand, in 14 countries." http://www.bpa.org.uk/skydive/pages/people/adriannichols.htm Anyone beats that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BillyVance 34 #2 April 8, 2005 Well, if the question is who made the most, regardless of whether they paid for them or got paid, then yeah, it's most likely Airspeed or the Golden Knights competition teams... or any full-time staff member (AFF/Tandem/Video) of any major DZ like Perris, Eloy, or Z-Hills, for example, who usually jump through the week as well as on the weekends. If there's a category for most jumps by a fun jumper who is not any of the above, and the fun jumper had to pay for every single jump, then how about my 350 jumps in 1997? Anybody top that?

He thought 600 was possible and that he was putting together an attempt for the fall of '06.

Groundbound 0 #19 April 8, 2005 I was kind of amazed to read the top Expert Wings achievement awards in the sim p171.... 39000 dives! If you jumped 39years, that;s close to three a day, every day isn't it - anyway a thousand a year.. for a very long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ripcords 0 #22 April 12, 2005 I have made 103 so far this year. Not bad for winter in the Northeast. My personal best year was 901. Would love to do 1000 in a year, but I follow the philosophy - concentrate on one safe jump at a time, don't worry about the long run. If you get hurt, you will make many less jumps that year. Don Kellner's best year to date was 2534 jumps in 1991 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BigM 2 #23 April 12, 2005 Quote534 jumps in 24 hours. QuoteThat's impossible. Not only is it possible, and been done, but I recently talked to Jay about his record. I asked did he think it was at the saturation point. (Obviously no one will ever make 10,000 jumps in a day, so somewhere between 534 & 10,000 would be the saturation point.) He said no. He thought 600 was possible and that he was putting together an attempt for the fall of '06. Break it or not, he said this would be his last go at it... he turns 50 the same year and said he couldn't put his wife through the headaches of it again! Go JAY!!!
