blue24 0 #1 June 16, 2011 What are the most jumps you have done in one day? Assuming the weather is good, and you are feeling well; when do you say "enough jumping for today"-- because you are getting tired, and are now concerned about jumping safely? 5, 7, 10 jumps? Do you have a limit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 10 #2 June 16, 2011 I have done 22 packing for myself demo training. I have done 20 team training with packers. Normally, it is 12-14 when I start to notice a decrease in performance... which means I actually start decreasing around jump 10-12"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mchamp 1 #9 June 16, 2011 Most I've ever done in one day is 9 jumps at a boogie and I had a packer! No way currently I could do 9 in one day while packing for myself.....For info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon2 2 #11 June 16, 2011 10 during a competition, once (entire FS4 competition in one day...) 11 during training (2 tandemvideos + 2x back-to-back-to-backs). Done by 16:00, could've gone for a couple more More usual is 6-8 jumps a day (mostly I do tandemvideos, have to edit them myself and within half an hour or less). ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We tried 12/day for one camp but we were worn out for the last couple jumps and they weren't worth it. Training for FS we'd do 2-day camps 8/day, 1-rig, packing for ourselves, and a half hour of tunnel time. Fun jumping and screwing around I'll do between 3-8/day. I've found being tired / losing focus is as much a function of how many hours you're on the dropzone than how many jumps you've done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites NWFlyer 2 #19 June 16, 2011 8-way training we'd do 8/day on 20 minute calls. Start at 7ish, done by 2ish. I was pretty worn out by the end of those days and usually had to dig deep for jumps 6 and 7 (then jump 8 would be easier b/c the end was near), but a lot of that was that those were focused training jumps. Most in one day is 9/day for 8-way at Nationals last year. I really wish we'd been able to do all 10 (got dark before we could get through 'em) because I was sick by the middle of the day and predicted (as it turned out, correctly) that my sinuses were going to get worse overnight. So, yeah, I was worn out that day, but being sick didn't help. Typically, I'm a 3-5 jump/day person. I do this for fun, half the fun I have is hanging out on the ground during the day and chilling out. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
