Most fun jumps in one season

[Lawdog1 0]

Newbie question directed mostly at northern seasonal jumpers. Instructors and camers flyers aside, what is the highest number of fun jumps you have made in a season. . . say March through October?
I know most have exceeded this but so far I only have 61 but I'm still renting gear, and I can't spend all day at the dz

Thoughts?

if you want to make a lot of jumps you are going to have to find some way to be at the dz all day. When you are there have fun of course, but you do not screw around and don't be bullshitting wasting preciuos jump time between jumps. The more you jump the better you will get and the more you will have fun.

don't try your bullshit with me!!!

In my first year of the sport I did exactly 495 jumps in a 12 month period. Like the above post...bye bye rent...bye bye 2nd car....

Didn't Tagle do something like 800 jumps his first year? Has anyone done more than that?

[JustChuteMeNow 0]

Jaye Stokes did around 640 in one day fun jumping and so I'm guessing he did more than 800 for the year.

Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

I did around 550ish total jumps last year.

I would say around 350 to 400 ish of them were fun jumps. The rest were tandem videos. This is in wisconsin, but we jump all year so...

The more you jump the better you will get and the more you will have fun.

In my experience and observation, I find this is only true if you active try to get better. Jumping out of a plane a lot of times won't naturally make you a better skydiver. I've seen some people who jump like crazy just for the sake of upping their #'s and it's embarassing how bad they are. They won't take 5 minutes to plan or debrief a jump because it means they'll miss the next load. With no plan, you never learn anything (or learn very very slowly)

I've done 614 in the last 12 months which is the most for me in a season.

All fun jumps or training jumps with my teams (which is also fun!)

you are right, I did not put that in because I did not want to write that much. Yes, plan the dive and dive the plan always be working on something is the way to get good quickly and stay that way. That is one of the first things my buddy told me to do when I started freeflying.
