If your objective for the jump was to have fun, then yeah, having fun and no one getting hurt makes that jump a success. . . . And I'm not a super performance orientated guy. But really, not having achievable goals on most jumps is a good way to get bored. IMO, what Dean358 listed ARE goals. Good, achievable goals. And having fun is the point of it all.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
