Whats your jumping goals for Summer 05?

[BoostedXT 0]

OK.....people get burnt out on things fast if they have nothing to strive for. Whats everyones goals for summer 2005?

My goal is to try and get a coach rating. I never wanted to do something like in skydiving because I didnt want it to take away the enjoyment. I played golf, now I am golf pro who has lost of the passion for the game due to always being around it. Talking to another poster made me think, and want to make a goal, and thats it.

So try and become a coach and jump without having to be tipped, slot paid for, and just try and give as much knowledge forward.

You?

PS-I have a lot for 19,000+ jumps...hahahaha

I want to just get a shitload of jumps. I'd like to get my C license before the Keys Boogie, take a Base FJC, go to Bridge Day, and go to Rantoul.

By the end of the summer I want to be able to fly on my head and in that position be able to be wherever I want to be..

So I guess I'm doing a LOT of coach jumps this season...

-get my b before our otter boogie so i can get in on the four-way comps
-make 75 jumps before the season ends (trips to xkeys, sne and perris should help!)
-get a rigger ticket next winter. it would probabl ymean a trip south in the winter, which would suck, not!

This summer it is:

- getting and using my coach rating
- starting to fly video more than just having the camera there and recording.
- get onto my head

Yeah, that should all require way more jumps than I have money for. Super sweet.

Get my A license
Jump as much as possible
Learn, Learn, Learn
Stay safe
Attend a boogie!!

Get my "A"

Anything over that is gravy for me at this point.

I honestly haven't a clue. It's been awhile since I haven't had a carrot dangling in front of me. I guess just get better at everything.

Oh what the heck, let's add "Get B license" to that list. Assuming I can get water training somewhere, the rest of the requirements give me something specific to aim for.

My goals:

Start and complete my AFP and get as many jumps in as I can

Actually I set my goal for this year at the end of last year. I'll be making a lot less "me" skydives this year and a lot more "give" skydives.
I will spend most of the year jumping with novice and intermediate level folks wanting to learn more RW skills. Hopefully my meager knowledge base will allow some of these folks to discover the joys that I have over the years.
