2007 Goals

[chaoskitty 0]

Every year I set goals for myself to accomplish within this sport. 2006 I focused on freeflying and feel that I made decent progress for the number of jumps I was able to afford. Nothing to brag about, but I'm satisfied.

In 2007, I want to continue to work on my freeflying. I MUST MUST MUST improve my canopy skills. And when I feel like I'm a better canopy pilot, I want to start flying a camera (for fun jumps, not for tandems), and try out a wingsuit.

I'm just writing this down because.. I felt like it.. and maybe you have some goals as well?

[matthewcline 0]

Top over 3500 jumps.

AFF-I (had the same goal this year but duty got in the way).

Run 2 Coach Courses (one next weekend, yeah I know it is still this year)
Run 2 Static Line I Courses (one scheduled for Jan)
Run 2 Tandem I Courses (one scheduled for Jan)

Train no less than 6 FJC Students through the "B" license.

Train no less than 4 to PRO Rated Demonstrators.

Perform in no less than 20 DEMO's.

Print two articles in the local paper on skydiving (had 3 this year and the yhelped to draw students to the 2 local DZ's and they did list 6 DZ's each time) and get others to do the same as all the above.

Not enough really, but a start.

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

-Stay alive
-Stay safe
-Have fun
-Stay more current than I did in 2006
-Continue to improve in-air skills, working towards eventually getting the coach rating, maybe next year
-Continue to work on improving my landings and getting to know my canopy

Well, i missed one of my 2006 goals (to not get broken) which pretty much scuttled the rest of them (getting recurrent in windy season doesn't help much). So...

1. Don't break myself.
2. Tunnel training (planned for January - we have no tunnels here so it isn't as easy as it is for some of you)
3. Get my B licence (75 freefalls required so I'm still short of jumps, hoping the tunnel will help with the skills for the 4-way test jump)
4. Do lots of FS and ideally get on a team

... that's about it really. Not too ambitious - but I really want to try get my FS skills nailed. Then maybe I can start thinking about freeflying in 2008, after I get my C

2007 has two distinct goals for me.

1. Continue to improve in the CPC competitions and go to the National Championships this year. I'm taking the steps I need to get better and I'm taking off work for the championships.

2. Finish up the RW coaching package I was given so I can finally get my AFF-I this year. My wife is going to try for her AFF-I so I've got a training partner.

4. Learn how to swoop.

Good luck and get coaching. Good coaching. I've been working on learning how to swoop for over 4 years and quite a few jumps and I'm still learning how to swoop.

I plan to take my time in learning how to swoop. Getting a coach will be the hard part but I don't plan on making any big leaps without one.

1. GET A RIG!

3. Nail my sit.
4. Stay alive and not screw around with Murph.
5. Have the most fun of my life.

Blue Skies

Get my PRO rating
Go to several bigway camps (RW) so I can get ready for the next big one (Project 500)
Compete in the CPC
Go to Nationals with a FF team

[wildfan75 1]

1. Get my C license.
2. Do something bigger than an 8 way.
3. Go to the WFFC.
4. Sell house, quit job, move about 130 miles east, find job, buy house. And yes, that's skydiving related! It would put me near the dz and eliminate the 2 hour each way commute I make every weekend, and yes, it's every weekend.
5. Start doing CReW

[Yossarian 0]

1. Get a rig
2. live on an american dropzone for a month or two
3. become an FS coach

[nikejumper 0]

1. get over 100 jumps
2. Attend at least one boogie
3. No injuries
4. Jump a military aircraft (prob. my harderst) if anyone can help with this that would be awesome.
- I sit on base and watch all these planes take off and its a tease...
