JumpCrazy 0 #1 June 11, 2003 How many jumps does everybody have? I am just interested in seeing how many newbies, and experienced jumpers are here. Also, what year did you start? I have 27 jumps and started in 2002.Flying Hellfish #470 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpergirl 0 #2 June 11, 2003 I started jumping in 1994 but only have 366 jumps. Not a good ratio... but I have had some slow years. I know this will all change.

Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #5 June 11, 2003 To date I have made 261 jumps and my skybirthday is July 14th, 2002 (the day of my tandem). I hope to do at least another 39 jumps in the next five weeks to give me 300 for my first year (will Mother Nature cooperate). But if I don't get there, it's no big deal. I have jumped more than the average person, but there are people who have jumped more than me. PDS (Pimp Daddy Sky) was on a torrid pace before he stopped posting here (so who know what that dude's been up to) and I noticed the other day there's a jumper (I can't remember who) who's done 400+ jumps in a similar time frame to mine. God I love this sport.
