What's your skydiving goal this year?

For me it's to finally learn to swoop by the end of the summer, meaning 270s.

This year I plan on getting my AFF rating. Maybe even my tandem rating. I've been wanting my AFF for a long time but I'm finally qualified. Wish me luck. :)

nothing but learning my canopy. Coach course's every chance I can get. I learned how to
fall in a short time, but it takes years & tons of jumps to fly. I will devote 2 or 300 jumps this year
on JUST canopy control, then I will do the 6,8 or 10
or what ever. I WILL be a good canopy piot before the end of this season. This is my goal.. And I will
achieve it.....

My goal this year is to get closer to that million dollar mark taking tandem passengers. I figure at the rate I'm going, I'll be a millionaire at the young age of 113.

If you would have asked me this 3 months ago, it would have been a tough question to answer. Oh how things have changed. As of a couple of weeks ago, my hope was to be able to jump at any point in the next year or two. Fortunately, in the last couple of days, things have started looking better.

Some history: After the busiest jumping year of my life, I awoke 1 morning with excruciating pain in my shoulder. After a bunch of Dr's, X-rays, MRI's, shock tests (nerve conduction tests), being repeatedly stabbed with a needle (EMG test), the Dr's think they have an answer.

Specialist #1, who administered the nerve tests figures that I had a viral infection in my brachial plexus, where a number of nerves come together. The good news is most people recover on their own. The bad news is I may never recover 100 percent and the recovery could take up to 2 years. In the meantime, I have pain, weakness, and "pins and needles" in that arm.

Specialist #1 said I could skydive if I had the strength. I see specialist #2 this week to get his take on the nerve test results. If he gives me the go-ahead, I'll try some "pull-down" exercises in the gym to see if I have enought strength in that arm to flare.

I normally jump year-round, and the nearly 3 months I've been off now is the longest since I started 10 years ago.

I really just want to get back in the air more regularly this year. I was once pretty good at RW, and it'd be nice to get there again....maybe this year??? I'd like to get our of Arkansas at least a few times....

Well once I get out of this lovely country known as Iraq I hope to get at least 250-300 jumps plus maybe attend a tandem cert course

My favorite honey thinks I should skydive into our wedding (10 years + 10 days since my first jump; 100 weeks from when we went from being friends to a couple - we like the numerology of it all).

[SkiD_PL8 0]

My goal this year is to get my own gear and get to at least 100 jumps.
