Your Skydiving Goals for 2006

Recommended Posts

Howdy, Folks!

Same thread as I started last year while I was recovering from my botched landing.

(You remember, the one that got me a broken tib/fib and membership in the Heavy Metal club?)

I haven't worked up my goals (more like a "wish list"-) for 2006 yet, but figured it was about time to start the thread, get folks thinking, reflecting, and looking forward.

So let's see yours and I'll soon show you mine!

Cheers!

hope to get my A by end of March and B by end of Summer. Would be great to get C By 2007. But not going to press my luck.

hope i dont break anything this year... :|

If i get lucky i might have enough towards the end of the summer to get a complete rig ordered. But wont hold my breath.:S

at the very least, have fun flailing like a roach caught in the swirling rapids of a toilet.:ph34r::D

and start a beer conservation program so i can hord as much as possible and regift it out as needed.:ph34r::ph34r::D

1. Not die.
2. Not break anything.
3. Get a rig.
4. Become a functionally proficient freeflyer.
5. Start flying camera.
6. Get my C license.
7. Do a still air jump of some kind.
8. Get back into GCing.

Most importantly: Learn, observe and be the safest skydiver I know to be. Refuse to be a 31/50/100/150/200 jump wonder. Know that not all of those goals may happen this year.
I really don't know what I'm talking about.

1. Get my coach rating.
2. Start flying camera.
3. Get my D.
4. Get good at headdown.
5. Win a medal in MWSL A class. Preferably gold.

Basically continue learning and not hurt myself.

My skydiving goals for '06 are to get home safely so that I can jump again. After that I'd hope to hurry up and get the next 25 jumps logged and get my C....then, when I feel I've gotten back to the same level I was at before I left, I'd like to get my coach rating.

However....only thing I'll really be able to do in '06 is get the 25 or so jumps! I won't be home until September. So the coach rating and C license won't come to be until sometime in 2007 sometime[:/].

AFF-I.
Pass 3000 Jumps.
Pass 36 Hours of freefall time.
Pass 30 hours in the tunnels (9 to go).
Pass 1000 Tandems (< 300 to go).
Become a USPA Tandem Instructor Course Director.
NOT get labeled a "skygod" by dzmama:P.

Retire and become a full time Skydiver/Instructor but still have fun at it!
An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

Actually start jumping in the country I live in, instead of the one I keep going to on holidays.

Find a Rookie 4-way team. In any country.

Get a non-dorky helmet.

Get some form of license some time before 100 jumps :$
