Jimbo 0 #2 July 31, 2003 I made 250ish jumps last year, I've made just a few more than 100 this year, most of them in the last 2 months. The weather just wasn't there in the beginning of the season. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyskydiver 0 #4 July 31, 2003 My first 2 years in the sport are not really reflective of what I would consider a normal year for me to be. Normal would be the way this year is shaping up to be. 1 my first year 12 my second year 150 my third year But, if we go with average, 54.3333333333..... I'm liking the increase in jump #'s.

CanuckInUSA 0 #10 July 31, 2003 I've only been in the sport a little over one year. But I made 330 jumps that first year and am well on my way to a 200-300 jump 2nd year. But how long will my $$$ hold up at this pace? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird 0 #11 July 31, 2003 Whoever answered 600 - 1000.... Anyway, in my first year I did about 120. I'd like that average to climb towards 200. I'd love for my average to be 600 - 1000.

Ira 0 #13 July 31, 2003 An add on to this post should be how many people making lots of jumps a year are on Staff somewhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 10 #14 July 31, 2003 9 years in the sport. 3000 jumps 333 per year. However I only did 500 over 3 years thanks to Uncle Sam, and that kinda blows my average some. Out of those jumps, only 200 or so are "work" jumps.

sporty 0 #16 July 31, 2003 Wow! I'm impressed with you guys. I've managed 475 in 10 active years of jumping.(3yrs dormant) Clubs in the UK don't seem to be geared up for high jump numbers. Most are only weekend clubs, then some don't start till late or finish early (local restrictions), busy clubs are only interested in getting their mates jumping.....and to that the British weather........ If I spend all day at the clubs I can reasonably travel to, I'm very lucky to get 4 in all day...in fact I can't remember getting five in a day for years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamsville 0 #20 August 1, 2003 If the weather is good in the UK, the location(s) you use are still limited as far as how much of the day they can jump? It's a shame to waste all that daylight. We are lucky to have DZs where the first load goes up anywhere from 7 to 9 am and the last one around 8 pm or later, not counting night jumps. I began at about 200 jumps a year and have been at about 400/year in the last 2 years. |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline.

StevePhelps 0 #22 August 6, 2003 I made 120 jumps since Jan. Not bad for a working stiff at a small DZ who seldom gets weekends off to go to bigger boogies. BUT, I get to jump any day of the week a slot may be open (students, tandems, etc) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ernokaikkonen 0 #24 August 8, 2003 770 jumps over 5 years... an average of 154. But then again you only get to jump half the year in Finland... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #25 August 8, 2003 My average is 185.46 jumps per year. My highest year was 1992, my first year as a Golden Knight Demonstrator, making 369 jumps. My best year recently was 2000 (218 jumps). Last year I made 141 jumps; this year will be below average because I was out of the country for 2.5 months in prime jumping season (although the weather was very poor at home). I like to set goals for myself - this year's goal was 300. I have made 99 so far - I have a ways to go!! Lots of thunderstorms in the area today, but I have the day off - so I'm off to Raeford to see if I can't add a few more to my logbook!
