Broke 0 #6 July 20, 2007 If I am not working typically I spend every other waking moment chasing my babies. Being responsible really cuts into time to jumpDivot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beowulf 1 #21 July 20, 2007 I do about 20 to 30 jumps a month occaisionally more. last year I did 327 jumps, this year doesn't look so good due to weather. I should do at least 200 probably close to 300 depending on how the weather goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fast 0 #25 July 20, 2007 Around 20 a week. I am jumping 3-4 days every week. I can make more if I just funjump and don't do any work.
