I'm kind of curious how many people are posting but haven't jumped in over 6 months.



Then why wasn't 6 months an option? :D

Last Saturday for me. Got winded (actually gusted) out Sunday.

Because I'm an Aggie and can't add or count well. Although I did count to 21 once, but I was issued a ticket for Disorderly Conduct: Exposure by that kampus kop.

:D

I haven't jumped in over 6 months but, it's only cause I severely broke my leg on my last jump in october:( I'll be jumping again as soon as my doc gives me the ok:)
Ok, I did do a tandem recently but, I don't think that really counts:P

Ditto here. [:/]

Many reasons, but I make no excuses.

My last jump was in November 2005. A weird 4 way something with Diablo, Skylord & Beth at Perris. I moved to China a week later, and there are no DZ nearby. But there is life after skydiving...>:(

It's been before the start of 2008 unfortunately. I need a repack, and my CYPRES2 needs a servicing before I can jump again. Oh, and my USPA needs renewing -- I might do that this weekend, and get my rig to the rigger in a few weeks if possible.

I should mention... I &^#@& miss the sky!!! >:(

This thread spurred me to check... I looked at my log book and discovered... it's been just over a YEAR since I last skydived. [:/]

It was 25 July 2007.

So... what did I do? I JUST RENEWED MY USPA MEMBERSHIP ONLINE!! As soon as I can, I'll get my gear back the way it needs to be, and I'll be up in the *!^ AIR, baby!! :)

Ya gotta get off your ass if you're gonna make it happen, right? One step, then the next... and so on.

- First step: taken! B|

This past weekend at the UKS Boogie, from 4 different aircraftB|



Same here - 11 jumps - but all from the same aircraft (Dornier G92). Damned serious team training getting in the way of boogie fun. Even on the one fun jump - the Saturday evening formation load where I stood as good a chance of being put on the Caravan or the Skyvan - I ended up back on the Dornier. :)

You're lucky. I know a guy who can only count to 20 and 1/2. His ticket was a misdemeanor.
Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

It's been almost two weeks, which is normal for me. I've got a family, obligations, "a life", and don't jump the way I did when I was single, young & dumb. I try to get out to the dropzone every 2 - 3 weeks, once in a while I'll jump two weekends in a row.

I am a weekend warrior. So Sunday was my last jump. But a better question would be when was the last time I took an entire weekend off.



No kidding. I think I have like, 20 jumps in the last week? Last time I took an "entire" weekend off was winter. Over the 4th I only jumped one day, does that count? Even if it's shitty, I'm still at the dz.
