zoobrothertom 5 #28 July 26, 2008 Quote This thread just to find out how quick or how slow you got to these jump numbers.... Myself, +-100jumps over 14years. (okay, had some other stuff to do with my time, where time=money) Just to find out how quick you can do it in, or how slow, try and beat me for being slow!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------- I just couldn't resist throwing this in. How much time to jump # using/or not using a packer? There are some great flyers out there who make a ga-zillion jumps a year using packers. How well they know their gear can be a matter of serious debate. Have fun, be safe, know your gear and jump your ass off!!____________________________________ I'm back in the USA!!

tbrown 26 #29 July 26, 2008 1st jump - 1974 100th - 1976 500th - 1980 600th - 2004 (after a 22 year break) 1000th - sometime next year, I hope On the other hand, I know somebody who got his first hundred in two months and his first thousand in 18 months. I won't even ask him how many he has now, he makes me sick to my stomach (in a good natured sort of way). Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

TrickyDicky 0 #39 July 31, 2008 My Approximate timescales: 0-50 - 18 Months 50-200 - 12 months 200-550 - 4.5 years. 550-750 (where I am now) = 4 months around 90% of 350 - 750 have been part of the same 4 way team over 3 years. In those 3 years I have around 24 hours tunnel time, with half of that in the last 6 months. UK Skydiver for all your UK skydiving needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzthieve 0 #40 August 1, 2008 0-100 took me about 4 months I think. I started out April 2007 and had about 300 in april 2008. Probably will get 500 in a couple of weeks. Oh yeah, and I only jump at weekends, can you tell I'm a fanatic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
