How Long? How many?

[phonics1981 0]

Following suit from the Skydiving: How Old Then, How Old Now? thread, I thought it would be interesting to see how many jumps everyone has in relation to how long they've been jumping

Ive got 15 jumps in 4 months (UK Weather!!!)

17 jumps in 2 months (first jump on 24th May 03).

Would have been more, but the good old Scottish weather is a factor, particularly when still on student status.

540 jumps in 3 years - despite the British weather!

Don't worry about the slow pace, it's like that when you're a student - but it gets better I promise

86 round SL in 11 years (man, those landings)

571 skydives in 5 plus years. (not including MFF's)

I like to average about 100 jumps a year. When I first started 80 was my goal. Now, I'm getting about 120 - 140 jumps a year.

Also do camera work and picked up my tandem rating this year, so hopefully, numbers will pick up.

600 in two years actual jumping (about a year of downtime in there for surgeries (not skydiving accident related). Otherwise I would be around 800-900.
Still going, and going, and going.... watchout rabbit!

You dont jump at Netheravon by any chance. Same thing happened to me for 3 years.

I'm looking at doing a progression week, but knowing my luck a hurricane will decide to bed down over the DZ then.

Probably! I booked my AFF Course for Easter weekend this year, hoping to get through at least half of it... Cos of weather I only got 1 jump in on the bank holiday monday then, just as I was dying to get another guess what? Yep. Wind.
