1 - 25 - 10 years
26 - 68 - 2 years
69 - 164 - 3 months

Took me a while to warm up to the sport...:-)


1-25=18 days
26-100=88 days
100-1000 (really 996 as of today)=26 months
Early winter/late spring this year didn't help.[:/]

I prolly need to cool down a bit.


i can see a pieing coming up in someones future.. :P

***Dan BC has around 23,000 jumps in about 22 years.

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. :P

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!!;)

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).

You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

It's been a good summer! :ph34r:

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.
