what's the shortest time frame you have heard of someone doing 100 jumps in?

Recommended Posts

How much money you got??? With a packer, two rigs, and some serious 4way training - you could do 2.5 loads per hour... With one rig and a packer, on a training day, I got 6 jumps in 4 hours... So, a week for 100 jumps - easy with the gear, packers, and planes leaving every 10 minutes...:P

Not to take away from the guys doing hundreds of HnPs in a day, I'd be more interested in a record that's a bit closer to sport jumping.

Requirements:
12k/3500m exit altitude, plane must carry (average?) at least a half load. Jumper must (should?) adhere to the 2000ft min container opening height. Can still use packers and have the participant land on the runway next to a waiting plane. Optional - every jump must be at least a 2 way, 1 (?) point required.

You want to try it sometime??? I am in, but I think I can only afford 1 day, so we will have to take our day score and multiply it by a week to guess what we can do.:o

I'm not good/strong enough yet. I've done 6 a couple times and there's definitely a dropoff in my skills by that last one. At the American we were doing a sunset HnP at full altitude and I hosed the exit beautifully.

I'm curious if anyone has done 100 jumps in a week or less. I'm sure a week is doable, but less than that would be interesting to hear about.


A brit did 100 in less than 2 weeks in Perris last year. Probably no big deal, except it was his first 100. From AFF on. I'm sure someone did better, but I think it's pretty good...

I did 200 in 11 days.



Tell us more... Working jumps, like vid or tandem, or did you actually do them as fun jumps with friends/training?



It was Filming the Norgies just before the world meet, their cameraman broke his arma dn he was a good friend so I did him a favor. Hard hard work we did 46 jumps in one day. There was a few weather days in that 11 days. But it was a lot of fun.

Ok, so 46 in one day... The longest day of the year has about 15 hours of sunlight in L.A. (I picked a random city)... That makes 3 jumps an hour from sunrise to sunset. How fast did you run from the landings to the plane???? Tell us how you did it.

Fast as I can, much more than 3 jumps an hour. Not impossible Fastrax beat that record with 50 in a day with me and another friend packing for them, and they were done well before sunset. The trick is having the plane to yourself in both cases only a team on the plane, Fastrax had an advantage though they had an Otter and we had a porter.
