+I want to be doing quality 180s by the end of the year and be thinking about 270s
+Soak up as much knowldege as I can from any visiting canopy experts
+Win gold in the region in the NSL A Class. (MWSL)

1. Don't break myself again and DON'T DIE!!!
2. Start jumping again sometime in 2005.
3. Buy a rig before I start jumping again
4. Work on flaring all the way so I have the same landing as my last one except without the broken leg.
5. Do a helicopter jump
6. Actually JUMP at the Skydive Atlanta Freefly Halloween Festival.
7. Hopefully do AT LEAST 50 jumps
8. Slow my fastfalling ass down
9. Do a hybrid
10. Go to WFFC
11. Learn to sitfly
I'm so funny I crack my head open!

1) Do a lot more BASE jumps (and not die or mess myself up).

1.1) Do a 'B' so that I can get my BASE number.
1.2) Get my 2nd BASE rig functonal and online.
1.3) Start doing gainers, rollovers and tards at the bridge.
1.4) Freefall something in the 200 foot range.
1.5) Possibly do a terminal cliff BASE jump.
1.6) Possibly do a wingsuit BASE jump.

2) Do more Ground Launching (and not die or mess myself up).

2.1) Buy a specialized GLX Ground Launching canopy (not cheap).
2.2) Compete in the few blade running events that exist.
2.3) Ground Launch off of a certain cliff BASE exit point in Moab.

3) I likely won't be skydiving as much as I have in the past. But I would like to hit 1000 skydives in 2005 (I'm less than 200 jumps away from this goal). Maybe at next year's Eloy Holiday Boogie, maybe before then. It will all depend on my financial situation and how much BASE jumping and Ground Launching I do.

3.1) Do rear riser swoops (it'll happen soon if I Ground Launch a lot).
3.2) Not die or mess myself up swooping.


Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Mine are very similar to yours actually.

I've been out since October 2nd, so:

Get well and get current
Do at least 200 jumps this year
Make a mid-year trip to Empuria
Get back in a wing suit and do some mad flocking
Start flying a camera
Progress to where i'm ready to downsize

Rule #1...Don't fucking die!
***

Knew you'd be the first to come up with that one!:ph34r:


1) Survive
2)Some good swoops
3) Continue to NOT pull that front riser when I am too low.
4)Some good swoops
5) Make 300 jumps (but no more tandems)
6) Some good swoops
7) Perform a sole to sole dock with my girl
8) Some good swoops
9) Do some good 4-way head down
10) Oh, and some good swoops...

300 Jumps
100 Tandems

Take my 75 year-old mom on her first Tandem
Teach my 13 year-old son how to pack

Obtain a Relative Workshop Tandem Examiner rating

Obtain a USPA Tandem Course Directorship
Run my first :D RWS/USPA Tandem Certification Course

Replace all three of my jumpsuits (new features and color scheme to match my rig).

Attend a "big way" event. I did 50/60/74 ways in Jan/Feb 1993, and I wants me some more! B|

Attend a tunnel camp at the Raeford Wind Tunnel (hurry up and dig!).

Attend the USPA Advanced Instructor Course

There are also some key pictures I want to set up and have a friend take, but I'll save the details until I post them here.

To take both Brian Germains AND Scott Miller's canopy courses, break 1000 jumps (got 182 to go) finish (damn weather) my vector tandem cross training and to do a high speed bird man out of either a CASA or a Skyvan.:)

To finally get my A license (only 6 jumps left if I don't have to repeat any)

To finally be able to hang from the strut on exit without doing my famous turn.

To feel confident of my flare (a flare at 30 feet up can tend to freak you out)

To learn as much as I can and jump my butt off this Spring and Summer.

To get my B license and take coaching courses.

To not have to buy as much beer for landing off DZ. Hopefully when I am jumping my own canopy this won't happen as often.

I know still a student but everyone needs goals.:)
