Your Skydiving Goals for 2006

Recommended Posts

Ive thought of this alot recently, and I have come to a conclusion, that my goals in this sport are on a jump by jump basis...I didnt meet my goal of the amount of jumps I wanted by my one year sky-birthday, and at first I was disappointed in myself. It is then I realzied it is about the quality and not always the numbers.

To pass my 4 Way test jump and get my FS1 so I can get off solo's.

By my own Rig that will fit like a glove.

Break my hundred and then some.

Hope the START project of the Swiss federation is a success, with me included in the team

Seems I am in the START Project. It's the RW4 project of Swiss Skydive and CISM.

To keep jumping, as financial pressures in other areas of life are getting worse and sucking away the money at an unbelievable rate.

I already took a canopy course in Feb., so that's one goal already realized. Hope to jump with my daughter in June when she makes a tandem. This year I need to get up off my belly and learn how to fly on my butt, at least some of the time.

And not get killed, that would be good too.

Get my 'D' license by the end of the year, preferably by October 12, the three-year anniversary of my first skydive. [...just need 182 more jumps and a written test.]

Attend a 4-way wind tunnel/skydiving camp...

Compete in 4-way...

Get better at spotting...

Milk a cow... [Okay, that's not a skydiving goal, but I know a skydiver who can probably make that lifelong goal happen when I'm at the DZ one day.]
What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy
ones? -- Monday.

Definitely agree with the year with no accident! :D That would be a very good start, then:

1. New Wings container (ordered and paid for YAY! Now it just has to get through customs...)

2. B Licence (hopefully in the next month or so)

3. C Licence then maybe try some camera jumps

4. Start learning how to freefly and get a stable sit by the end of the year (have been waiting for the new container to start learning! :( )
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
